<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4027607, member: 112&quot;]Just curious, which one do you consider to be the underdog position ? I&#039;m asking because based on your comments I&#039;m not really sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>From a legal standpoint, as you say there have been many different court cases on the basic subject, and not all of them just about coins. But all of them trying to get the word God removed from one thing or another. Bottom line, the reason they all fail is pretty simple, it&#039;s because they don&#039;t understand the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees freedom OF religion, with the key word being of. It does not however guarantee freedom FROM religion, key word being from. Nor does it mandate personal participation IN religion, or even a belief, personal or collective, in God.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for this, I would present something I wrote almost 20 years ago and have posted here on the forum several times. One of them can be found here - </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mark-twains-opinion-of-in-god-we-trust-on-coins.273823/#post-2330997" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mark-twains-opinion-of-in-god-we-trust-on-coins.273823/#post-2330997">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mark-twains-opinion-of-in-god-we-trust-on-coins.273823/#post-2330997</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That pretty much ties it back to the very origins of our country, and I believe justifies the motto being exactly what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
