The 57-year-old man also told the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald he's worried that atheists may succeed in removing the phrase "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency.

Let's hope so...America did just fine with a single (and vastly superior) national motto for 180 years.

it shouldn't be there in the first place. this being the land void of religious persecution and all...

My dad's so old he remembers when there was no "under God" in the Pledge.

You know, these politico-religionists and their revisionist history and really getting to be a pain in the tukus.

The worst thing about it is that their efforts will probably be bad for religious freedom in the long run

My dad remembered (RIP) when there was no "God" in the pledge, and one recited it along with the Bellamy Salute(p):

Steve Kreuscher of Zion hopes to change his name to "In God We
Trust." He says the phrase sums up his whole life.
if it sums up his whole life, it should be 'in god i trust'

Awesome list.

Guy in Tahoe, CA changed his name to Santa Claus last year, but I think several men had done this already.

In other words, he's worried that atheists will take the Commandment against using the Lord's name in vain seriously.

What's next? Removing graven images from courthouse lawns?

I don't have a problem with "In God We Trust", but the Continental dollars said "Mind Your Business", as though they were giving parental advice to our sanctimonious coinage.

Is that really something to worry about? If you need to look at a farking dollar bill to reaffirm your faith you really need to better understand your religion.

It's not like god can take care of himself.

. . . and let's say atheists do succeed in removing "In God We Trust" from the money. OK, he still has that name, and . . . what? "Your honor, I'd like my name put on all US currency"?

I honestly hope both Jason Lee and Beth Riesgaf burn in hell for all eternity for actually naming a child Pilot Inspektor.

 
WFern 2008-05-04 01:02:30 AM  
I find it a little interesting that paper money did not have the phrase until a few years back... and that, of course, the Pledge did not contain a reference to God until Eisenhower. Yet secular citizens are the folks who want to "change" it. Okay then.

/Doesn't especially care one way or another

I think we should compromise and make it say "In Odin We Trust".

if I had a kid, I'd name him something like "cockface"

I know it sounds cruel, but its genius. what would the kids call him??


exactly! his name.

HEY COCKFACE!

hey.

HOW YA DOIN COCKFACE?!

i'm ok. you?

 
NeuroticRocker [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-05-04 01:14:58 AM  
the point is, its impossible to make fun of.

I knew akid named guy wiener. we made fun of him endlessly.

this kid harry....we called him hairy.

but cockface is brilliant because his name IS the insult so the bullies have nothing to work with

FTFW:

Anna Bertha Cecilia Diana Emily Fanny Gertrude Hypatia Inez Jane Kate Louise Maud Nora Ophelia Prudence Quince Rebecca Sarah Teresa Ulysis Venus Winifred Xenophon Yetty Zeno Pepper, a British woman who was named with a first name in the order of the alphabet. Her name brought interest to Robert Ripley, who published a profile of Pepper in an issue of Ripley's Believe It Or Not! in 1929. Due to the length of her name, she was nicknamed "Alphabet" for short.

Ahahahahahahahaha!

/seriously, though, I hope her parents were jailed for that

Lusiphur 2008-05-04 02:04:30 AM  
Personally, I don't trust god. I loaned him a couple bucks years ago at a church collection, and every time I've asked since then it's been nothing but excuses: "I help those that help themselves.", "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven.", "salvation doesn't come from material things.", "You can't take it with you.", and my favorite "See, what had happened was I meant to give you the money, but I was behind on child support and when I went to the bank they told me Divorce Court had frozen my assets, so I promise I'll pay it back with interest as soon as I get this settled."

Pfft, we should be so lucky.

Nope, while the fires are not quite as blazing, the McCarthy era still lives on, and the entire nation must prove that we're not heathens by stamping it on our coins, for everyone's sake.

I support this guy's decision to change his name, but he'll have to support my decision to call him a wanker.

 
Haoie 2008-05-04 02:25:00 AM  
Damn attention hogs. But it'd be worse if you gave your baby a bizarre name like that.

 
Kuildeous 2008-05-04 02:25:37 AM  
Oops, I got my currency stamp mixed up with the Pledge of Allegiance.

The currency stamp has been around longer, but it hasn't always been so consistent.

To bed I go, methinks.

Must be because you're a lazy ass, then, because DROP TABLE ACCOUNTS; would make a decent enough payload in an injection attack, but it won't actually inject. :P
