Christians, How do you feel about this?

Cards on the table: I'm not a Christian.

That laid down, I think every Christian should be in favour of the sentiment of that defacement, if not perhaps the manner in which it is expressed. The same laws that prohibit them putting their own religious gubbins in publicly owned arenas - like courthouses - also protect them from members of other religions who would do the same. Who among them would like to see a court house espousing the tenets of Islamic Sharia law? Not many, I'd wager.

That said, perhaps one could argue that whomever put the stamp on that dollar is wrong to have done so, since "god" is not specific to any particular religion or deity and therefore they're not technically promoting any one religion above another. Which is a bit of a technicality, I'll admit, but still, that's probably how it's rationalised somewhere or other in the legal system.

Against, for it is a misreading of the Constitution. A federal government has a right to endorse what it wishes as long as this right does not infringe the ability of others to endorse what they wish. The first amendment does not constitute a religion-less state; it actually constitutes the exact opposite, supporting the freedom to openly discuss matters of religion, and to separate this right from a government would result in unintended infringement upon our own liberties, as all dividing lines between the individual and the government do.

Samwise: I think I agree about the pledge, though for a federal government now to legally remove the addition I think might result in more conflict than necessary, and I don't personally entrust the federal government with the ability to do such peacefully without some greater devious purpose. I would enjoy it if it was a topic brought up by logical theists, for such might result in some greater state of freedom without the periods of mindlessness the United States seems to find itself stuck in time after time.

Against it, thts mutilation of an American dollar.

honestly, I don't really care. There is a separation of church and state so I never really knew why tht was on the dollar. I know its not imposing religion on anyone but still...

although I do have trust in God, this doesn't bother me at all.

It's a bit of an overreaction. Nobody is asked to affirm they accept everything written on it in order to spend money.

On the other hand, the insertion of a religious affirmation in the Pledge of Allegiance WAS, in my view, a serious intrusion on liberty of conscience. So, although I do believe in God, I omit the McCarthy-era addition when reciting the Pledge.

It's lousy constitutional law by any standards.

I think this is defacement of federally issued bank notes. But I think most places will still accept it.

Oh, and I feel sorry for the person who did this.

Against,

This country was based off trusting in God, and that is why its so corrupted today we lost our faith.

I feel that it's long overdue!!!!!
