<p>[QUOTE="Bambam8778, post: 4032809, member: 80341"]So many replies I wanted to make on this one but I'll just throw in my two cents like all the others here (I don't have the patience to go back and quote everything. </p><p>* I am not a believer. I do not think the motto should be on the currency.</p><p>* The political argument that the courts have settled it (the rule that the motto remains on the currency) holds no validity when the same religious institutions and people who are arguing it here still try to overturn laws made by the same courts because it fails to conform to their religious point of view. Pointing out the argument on the ruling for our motto holds no ground. </p><p>* My own personal opinion here is that putting the motto on our money doesn't cheapen religion or bring the power of it down, religion does that on its own. </p><p>* My own personal opinion is that the motto was put on the money out of hope AND imposed fear from religious influencers of the time, much like how it works today. </p><p>* Someone recited the pledge of allegiance here. Again, do what you will and it doesn't offend me if you say god but my voice is so loud in my coin club that most people notice when I stop as they proceed to say the whole god part. Doesn't bother me, shouldn't bother you. (Just like the money, Right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p>* Just remember that the bank notes who proudly portray IGWT are used for many illicit, illegal, fun and frankly adult activities that make the world go round so for all I care, leave it on and see if when you get to your gates he's ok with that. In the mean time, I'll use it for everything that is legal, fun and frankly Adult! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Don't get so worked up.
