[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2333704, member: 15929"]Just about as much as in Zeus We Trust" or "In Venus We Trust" or Maybe "In Diana We Trust" You see, the generic word "god" can mean anything or any god and yet no point to once specific god. As for "divine providence"? That's only applicable to the lucky bastage that's born into a royal family.................... The official "Church of England" was at the Kings behest which is where the Protestant Religion came from. The King wanted a divorce, the Catholic Church said "No Way Jose" so Jose, who just happened to rule the country, said "We don't need no stinkin' Catholic Church", "We'll be our own Church"! Ta Da! And so it was written! As for "In God We Trust" being an establishment of religion? Which Religion? The one practiced by the Egyptians? Romans? Greeks? Etruscans? I believe that the phase simply means that Trust is put into some divine authority regardless of what you call it. Something greater than mankind..............[/QUOTE]
