<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 4029497, member: 102022&quot;]I&#039;m of the belief there are no deities.

You&#039;d be mistaken. I didn&#039;t find it offensive while I was of the Hebrew faith and I still don&#039;t feel offended as a member of those who believe there is no god. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I do believe, people have taken this politically correct nonsense too far. Our coinage and currency are iconic around the world. Everyone, everywhere around the world accepts our money. Heck, they love it so much they counterfeit it. Our Founding Fathers had honest, noble intentions when they created this great nation. I don&#039;t believe their intent was, then or now, meant to insult, exclude, hurt, objectify, or degrade any newcomer to their new nation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
