<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 4028954, member: 4626&quot;]Wow, we&#039;re going here again... surprised this hasn&#039;t gotten locked yet lol, it usually does when people try to bring this subject up, since it&#039;s impossible to discuss it without politics and/or religion coming up.&nbsp; But I guess it&#039;s fair game for now, since the subject&#039;s been brought up, so here I go:</p><p><br /></p><p>I kind of agree with a radio show host who said &quot;I couldn&#039;t care less if my money says &#039;screw you&#039; on it as long as it still spends the same.&quot;&nbsp; (For the record I&#039;m a Protestant Christian and politically essentially libertarian.)&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t offend me by being there.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything unconstitutional about it being there; the Constitution says Congress may not establish a religion, not that they may not endorse one.&nbsp; Since you can spend the money whether you agree with the sentiment of the motto or not, I don&#039;t see how it constitutes establishment.&nbsp; (People who argue that it does I think would arguably have a case if the motto was &quot;Trust In God.&quot;&nbsp; But the motto doesn&#039;t obligate you to do anything or tell you do anything, so I don&#039;t think they have a leg to stand on there.&nbsp; Establishment means there&#039;s some sort of legal penalty for choosing not to comply.&nbsp; And well, there isn&#039;t any such thing here.)</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said it wouldn&#039;t bother me much if it was removed if it bothers a significant number of people (and by &quot;significant&quot; I mean more than half of eligible US voters) decided they&#039;d rather it not be there.</p><p><br /></p><p>So count me as either &quot;weak support keeping it&quot; or &quot;indifferent,&quot; kind of leaning to the latter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
