In God We Trust. How and when did those four words gain prominence in the United States of America? You may be surprised to learn the following from the U.S. Treasury:
The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War.
I point out that it does NOT say, “We Are A Christian Nation.” NOR does it say “We Are a Muslim Nation.” And I will add, that it does NOT say “We Are a Hindu Nation.”
And if you read the U.S. Constitution, it is clear that the Founders not only outlined a clear separation between Church and State, but they certainly did NOT favor one religion over another. I defy anyone to prove otherwise.
So what the hell is so-called “Justice” Scalia defending the cross for? The cross is a Christian symbol. Last I looked it was not a Muslim nor a Hindu symbol.
The cross should be torn down and replaced with an appropriate symbol.
