There are two common phrases that seriously offend me: One is "God d____" and the other is a certain "F" word. I really am bothered by these moronic terms and yet not one person seems to give a rat if it bothers me. Here's the irony: I GET OVER IT!! As others should with offensive comments.

I can understand how those words/phrases can offend you or anyone else who feels the same about the use of such language. However, I hardly see where the phrase "In God We Trust" is equivalent with those others. I also see no harm in having these words printed on our currency, or even spoken in public. Those other words/phrases are usually spoken to invoke at least a perceived harm. And, no one has yet shown me where in the U.S. Constitution it is written that people of this country have a protection against being "offended" by what someone prints/writes/speaks that doesn't cause someone any damage.
