Mr.O first of all I want to say I am not offended by your comments. This is America and your in titled to voice your opinion just as every one else is. Also everyone comes to their conclusion on the subject from a different road and experience.
But I will have to disagree with you when comparing God to the tooth fairy. I know people personally who have been healed from sickness and disease by prayer in the name of Jesus. I personal have had someone prayed for me in the name of Jesus and pain left my body in minutes that had been there for months. I have never been or do I know anyone who has been healed in the name of the tooth fairy. Obviously you haven't had a experience like that.
No judgment from me my man, just sayin, maybe be a little more open minded and entertain the though of just maybe it might be possable that their is a God. One that Loves you. Or you could just tell me GFY. Either way up to you...

Intractable issue. We'll never agree.
But how about this. How about, "In the Rule of Law We Trust" as a bumper sticker on cop cars?

Those decals have been on all our SO and City cop cars for at least two years.
But........ we burn an atheist every blue moon so they don't do anything to call attention to themselves.

But Jeff ( Feel the Bern) O is not anti-gun anymore guys.  He's changed Ha ha I crack myself up  Not a "Bern" supporter and I'm at least as pro-gun as anyone on this forum. You lying POS! Voting for O and pro-gun are not exactly the same! Kagan and Sotomayor, both young enough to haunt the pro-gun world for decades, and you are pro-gun??? Unfugging real! You should go smack your head again! Can I get an AMEN!

Jeff_O, how about this. How about, "In the Rule of Law We Trust" You might believe in the rule of law, but I happen to know Loretta Lynch is Attorney General.

I see that happening a lot. I'm a Christian, but the way I look at it this is a form of using Gods name in vain. You only see Sheriff's doing this, not other LE vehicles. They are elected officials and they are using Gods name to help get re-elected. I don't think God approves.
I have no problem with the phrase on US coins. It was put there in 1864 for the right reasons. The phrase wasn't put on paper money until 1957 and was done for political gain then, just as it is being used now. Prior to 1957 our national motto was E Pluribus Unum (which means "out of many, one." and had been since our nation was founded. It was changed in the 1950's in order to get votes.
Used properly the phrase is fine. It is the spirit in which it is used in that determines right and wrong. I question the real purpose behind this now.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Why should I care about a meaningless religious phrase plastered on government property that all citizens, irregardless of their held beliefs, are forced to pay for through taxes?
It's no skin off my nose one way or the other, but when they start putting "Allahu Akbar" stickers on police cruisers, I don't want to hear a peep out of the Christians on the fire. Y'all keep your mouths shut and pay your taxes like good little patriots.

JMR40, It was changed in the 1950's in order to get votes. Dwight D. Eisenhower was already president when he wanted that as a motto.

Maybe Sheriff's do it because as the only constitutionally appointed peace officers in the country they hold the oath of their office in highest regard.

When there's as many Mosques in this country as there are churches I suspect there will be some "Allah Akbar" stickers and the Muzzies can pay for them. Until then majority rules and all others can STFU.

Suspect the Muzzie phrase might be on Sheriff cars in at least one Michigan town any time now...

The car and office itself are paid for by tax dollars, not the sticker. Well then, when you become part of the minority, you will have the perfect opportunity to take your own advice.

That seems to be the way it's headed.Until then I'll enjoy the status quo. Trying to please everyone all the time is a major fault in this country. Actually now it's more about pleasing the most obnoxious minority.

Change it to, "In imaginary deities we trust" and I'm all-in. There you have it folks. Next the whole Declaration of Independence gets a facelift to make the "pro gun" azzhat happy. I'm sure the Bill of Rights is safe, since the "pro gun" voter has a problem with all men being created equal now....
