HA! Point well taken, sir.
I Just voted at 0526 hrs Mountin Standard time and its still 51 yes - 49 no.
voted. remember libs mostly vote in pmsnbc polls.
Is MSNBC planning on putting “In Obama We Trust” instead?
Sounds like bots are doing the voting.
Still 51-49. The crotch sniffers over at dirty underpants must have gotten there first.
I responded with a “NO”, but I’m really more of a WWBD (what would Buddha do) kind of guy
Currently 50-50.
This online poll is based on an article about atheist Michael Newdow filling a federal suit to remove the motto from the currency. The article was last updated in November, 2005, and the poll has apparently been running all this time. There are well over 1 1/4 million votes cast, and there is no way we FReepers are going to effect it now. Not a lot of point either.
It is a complete myth that the Constitution says anything about the seperation of Church and State. It simply states that the Government cannot create a State Religion. But if you ask Libs it is okay to follow Muslim ideas in schools etc.
50-50-when I voted
Have to remember that this is UBER-LIB MSNBC, thats who they pander to so I’m really not that surprised.
God is beginning to pull ahead.
Yes 49%
No 51%
Yep, I’m not a US citizen, so I have no axe to grind with this. Anyway, sometimes people looking in from the outside get a better view.

So, the question stands. Does the USA, as a nation, still actually “trust God”? If not, then the phrase should indeed be removed from the coinage.
“God” is losing????
I dont think so.
How would one determine that? Do we let one robed judge decide for us? An online poll is pointless.
Removing it would be like saying the Magna Carta was outdated and all of its precepts should be ignored from now on.
It is now 52% NO 48% YES
I wonder if they are letting foreigners vote?
There are more Communists at NBC than I thought.
