Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus
Hi,

Quote:Besides, the US governments position on religion should be intentionally neutral. Neither supporting or restricting. By requiring "zero" religious speech or expression, they would be endorsing or implementing an atheist world view.
How is "In God We Trust" on our currency and in our state offices and courtrooms neutral? Consider all the implications of that statement:

First, and most obvious, it implies the existence of a singular god. This excludes atheists, true, but it also excludes people whose beliefs include a pantheon of gods or who have no clearly defined concept of god.

Second, it implies that god is someone or something we can trust in. That implies a personal god, one who somehow knows and cares about our doings. You know, the guy who determines the outcome of high school football games. This excludes those whos religion is based on some universal impersonal principle.

Pretty much, all that leaves are the religions descending from Abraham.

But it goes further than that. The god of the old testament, the god of Judaism, is a god you fear and obey. He doesn't do football games. And no true Muslim refers to his god by any name but Allah. So, to the rational mind, "In God We Trust" is an establishment of Christianity as the official religion of the USA.

Besides, your argument is logical nonsense. If, for instance, I do not tell you that I love my wife, are you then entitle to assume I hate her?
