How about your wallet? Anyone wishing to eliminate "In God We Trust" from your life? Please donate your cash to the Disabled Vets. Thanks!

Golly, that's dumb! By the way, all those Muslims you clearly hate worship the same old man in the sky whom you apparently do.

"In God We Trust" first appeared on our currency in 1864 and didn't become our official motto until 1956. It replaced "E Pluribus Unum". I suppose someone wanted us to think less about our collective strength and more about subservience to a higher authority.

Stop whining. I haven't broken any rules here and, in any event, it's not your place to make those determinations.

Your disgusting racist video was "constructive" then? When you posted that, as far as I'm concerned, you immediately lost any right you might have had to respectful treatment. That you continue to post nonsense here makes it all the more true.

As for my being easy to live with, I wouldn't be caught dead living with someone who thinks and communicates as you do, so it's really a moot point, isn't it?

Oh, if this or any others of my posts have caused you any pain, it was entirely my pleasure.

John

"equal respect and consideration"
As ye reap ye shall sow...most definitely a two way street.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but it appears to be little more than a crass attempt at humor pointed at any non christian or any who think that there is and should be a wall between church and state with a little zinger at the end regarding caring for disabled vets? Since you brought it up, how is that constructively and/or respectfully voicing your opinion?

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.


I hope that you don't think this country is an exclusively a Christian nation, do you?
