Should the motto "In God We Trust" be removed from U.S. currency?
MSNBC ^ | 03/09/2009

Posted on 03/09/2009 2:03:40 PM PDT by Paige

Will NBC be surprised??*

Here's your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our faith in God, as a nation.

NBC is presently taking a poll on "In God We Trust" to stay on our American currency.

Please send this to every Christian you know so they can vote on this important subject.

Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off their web page. Poll is still open so you can vote:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10103521/

This is not sent for discussion. If you agree forward it, if you don't, delete it. By my forwarding it, you know how I feel. I'll bet this is going to be a surprise to NBC.

If they do their polls the way that CNN.com does theirs, if there is a result that is not”progressive” enough then they will simply change the poll after a few hours. If the results show a result favorable to their position, it will remain for a day or so.

I get the “already voted” page when I follow your link. I think you may have copied the link after voting.

Maybe only FREEPERS have hit the poll so far?

I know there's a lot of us but I don't think there are 12.4 million.

Yes. It's a violation of the principle of separation of church and state.
14%
No. The motto has historical and patriotic significance and does nothing to establish a state religion.
86%
Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total

Why are they even asking the question?

Who is pushing this?

How about adding this checkbox:

Since we no longer live it, why have it written?

"Why would they even do a poll like this"

This is how the Left works.

When they come up with an idea that might not be popular, they have their media clowns do some polls, then some scholarly articles on why this is a good idea, and eventually Congress passes some law.

They're just paving the way. It's coming.

Unfortunately, "In God we trust" will probably be replaced with "Allah Akbar".

I am so sick of the left bastardizing the first amendment as if it gives them the right to squash what they disagree with. It gives someone the right to say that they are offended it does not protect them from being offended

Well it’s either Gold or God, and Gold has already been removed from our currency so they better not remove God or we have nothing to trust our currency in.....oh wait too late.

If I was God I wouldn’t want to be smeared with this fake, scam, Ponzi scheme.

Besides, the motto ought to be more accrued, like “In Federal Reserve Monopolist, We Order You To Trust”.

Take a piece of notebook paper and write “In God We Trust” on it and stick it in your wallet. In a year that piece of paper will probably be worth more than the 20 dollar bill along side it.

Why do they keep re-treading this poll.

Because NBC supports and serves the enemies of the United States of America.
