Default In [censored] We Trust
someone mentioned about the in god we trust on money in the athiest prez thread, and I got to thinking how silly it is to have that on money.

Are we trusting god to hold the value of the dollar? If so, he isn't doing a very good job. God is no economist.

Prayers are useless. God has his plan. Don't mess with perfection.

It's ridiculous to have the phrase on our money or the pledge.

I can't get all that worked up about "In God We Trust" or the "under God" in the pledge, or the pledge itself, for that matter, though in a perfect world I'd do away with them all.

It's not a battle worth fighting, IMO.

What would be a sufficient "while"?

"Under God" (in the pledge) and "In God We Trust" (on paper money) are recent developments, present since the 1940s. America did just fine without them for nearly 200 years...
