About the attempt to add a "In God We Trust" engraving to the Capitol Visitor Center. I wish all bigots were so brazen and unworried about keeping face as this one. Emphasis mine.
http://www.examiner.com/x-11535-Christian-... Did you know that “In God We Trust” is the official motto of the United States? It is.
The Wisconsin-based church-state watchdog group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) claims the engravings are unconstitutional and would exclude the 15% of Americans who identify themselves as non-religious.
Congratulations FFRF, you’re correct about one thing – but wrong about another. First of all you’re correct that the engravings will exclude you. This is the intent. We want you excluded. Keeping idiocy out of the mainstream is a healthy goal. However, you are wrong about something… there are not 15% of Americans who identify themselves as non-religious. At best, (or worst, depending on your point of view) only 5% of our population claims atheist/agnostic status.
Because of the glorious and unique foundation of Christian principles, precepts and beliefs this country rests upon and due to the indelible imprint the founding fathers gave us by using them in our constitution and declaration of independence, these kinds of engravings and inscriptions will never be eliminated from our government.
I'll let the highly-concentrated evil speak for itself. And let me just add that even I, a foreigner, know the US motto is "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One).
When the first brainless nincompoop spouts the expected "He's Not a Real Christian" fallacy, I'll disclose this white-text.
