re pompous ass andrew newell tan psuvm psu edu writes i think you should support your first claim that people will simply harass me no matter what as i doubt this is true i think some of the theists will be at a loss and that is enough reason for me because in god we trust is a motto on the coins and the coins are a representation of the government christians are given ammunition here to slander atheists as unpatriotic so we should ban the ammunition why not get rid of the guns and yes i have heard this used in conversation with christians sure they may fall back on other things but this is one they should not have available to use it is worse than others the national anthem should it be changed too god bless america the list goes on imagine if the next year s set of coins were labeled with the motto god is dead certainly such a statement on u s coins would offend almost every christian and i d be tempted to rub that motto in the face of christians when debunking their standard motto slinging gets boring then you d be no better than the people you despise any statement printed on an item that represents the government is an endorsement by the government oh the coin motto is an endorsement of trusting in god an endorsement or an acknowledgement i think gods are things that people are proud of but i don t think the motto encourages belief i don t particularly feel like trusting in god so the government is putting me down with every coin it prints is it for the motto to be legitimate it would have to read in god gods or godlessness we trust would you approve of such a motto whether the motto was intended to be anti atheist or not it turns up as an open invitation to use as an anti atheist tool and removing the tool will solve the problem or will it increase the problem keith
