It doesn't really say which God. Probably means the god Mammon. One nation under 10 trillion in debt, squashed under the foot of Mammon (the god of money)

It's America. The christian god is kind of implied.
Actually, the fact that it's capitalized makes it a proper name.It doesn't really say which God. Probably means the god Mammon. One nation under 10 trillion in debt, squashed under the foot of Mammon (the god of money)

that "under God" is a permanent part of the Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag. Congress passed the law in 1954 and President Eisenhower signed it into law.

I like it, because it's likely to also be in reference to minding one's own business, as in not butting your nose in where it doesn't belong. Cable news as we know it might die within a month if we all starting doing that.Nah....the Fugio Cent mottos can appeal to everyone....except commies...they don't
like the "business" reference.
I don't know where you get the idea that this is an issue of "Trump supporters." To things like this and the offense taken over the NFL players taking a knee, you are blinding yourself to the fact many people who aren't Trump supporters believe "in god we trust" and "one nation under god" should stay, and would be very offended if they were removed. They've been around way longer than Trump's political career. Rather, they tend to be "god and country" types, and sometimes they even vote Democrat, and even with a good number of them having voted for Hillary.And, it seems like the kind of people who would want to leave "under God" as is are the same kind of people who would be foolish enough to support him.
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion" is what's wrong with it.What's wrong with that?

Considering the narrow minded religious mindset of the common American Christian, absolutely. Sooo . . . it would have to be someone who's in his/her last term in Congress. But it would still succumb to quick death anyway. Unfortunately, neither we or any of our grandchildren will ever live to see it removed. It would be like trying to move Christmas to sometime earlier in the year, when most scholars figure Jesus was born. For a lot of Christians putting reason on hold is no big deal.Don't you think the politician that introduces such a bill will be committing political suicide?
Actually the Ninth Circuit held that the 1954 law that codifies the Pledge as including "under God" is unconstitutional. In the 2004 appeal of that opinion, Elk Grove School District v. Newdown, in a decision delivered by Justice Stevens and joined by Justices Kennedy, Souter, Ginsberg and Breyer, with a concurrence by Justice Rehnquist, joined by Justices O'Connor and Thomas (Scalia did not participate), the Supreme Court reversed on grounds that the man who brought the suit did not have standing.that "under God" is a permanent part of the Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag. Congress passed the law in 1954 and President Eisenhower signed it into law.

And good things happen with money.I understand having it in the pledge. On the money its a little weird, because it is like a bad missionary. Bad things happen with money.
Money helps people, yes; but its weird to put that on the money. Money is unfeeling and lets you down when you don't have any. Putting it on the cash is like putting 'Jesus is my co-pilot' on a bumper sticker and then driving like a lunatic.And good things happen with money.
Besides, going back to bartering wouldn't reduce any of the money related problems.
Money....bartered goods....either way, the lack is equally troubling.Money helps people, yes; but its weird to put that on the money. Money is unfeeling and lets you down when you don't have any.

Which I have not been implying at all. Money helps to decrease poverty.Money....bartered goods....either way, the lack is equally troubling.
So eliminating money wouldn't magically cure poverty.
Just for you!Which I have not been implying at all. Money helps to decrease poverty.
