QuoteOk...hmmm, let's see...a little thing called the Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The above quote doesn't say anything about the separation of church and state. All it says is that you can't pass laws favoring one religion over another.

QuoteI find it amazing that those who have a problem with "In God we Trust" are usually the same people who completely trusted former President Clinton.
I find it amazing that people who are supposedly gods most devout servants molest children. Actually, I don't find it amazing. After all, in my opinion, religion is a human created method of influencing others to adhere to someone's set of moral values.
To me, making children state that they live in a nation "under god" is akin to stating that they live in a nation "ruled by the Easter bunny". I understand that this may offend some of you, but I'm not going to make you say it. So why should I or anyone else be forced to say, or rather, PLEDGE something that may offend them?
I believe in the Constitution. We can't pray openly at public schools. I don't see that as a problem. I went to Catholic schools all my life except for a few years. We should honor separation of church and state. I don't have a problem with "In God we trust". Just that it's on our money is not separating Church and State. What if some citizens don't believe in "God". It is not fair to them to have to read it on their money.
Why is it a problem to take "In God We Trust" off our money?
