Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

A lot of people are serving the country, atheists, muslims, buddhists, agnostics, satanists, wiccans, all kinds of people including christians,and some of all of these people are not.What I see is christians consistantly and endlessly trying to shove not only their beliefs on others, but their beliefs onto the constitution, which is the opposite of the constitution's intent.So what precisely are you talking about with this silly sentence?

we see it as helping our nation when we save another perosn from the fiery pitts of hell and besides im not trying to push it on you if i were you would be getting endless messages from me with undisputable evidence

I will see your "undisputable evidence" (the word is indisputable, BTW) and raise you 1 dose of logic mixed with verified investigative inquiry and objective reasoning. Bring whatever you like to the table :)

first the bible speaks of a place called golgotha or place of the skull and in israel there is a place with that name and exact description, also according to nat geo the spear jesus was pierced with has been found, also consider how beutiful and uniqe non man affected areas are it coulsnt of been that perfect with just chance or evoloution next the bible mhas been proven to be the most accurate book with less misinterpretations than any other book its size also as i often use where did the big bang come from ps i cant spell very good and thats not suprising since im 14
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

also according to nat geo the spear jesus was pierced with has been foundI very much doubt that. Even if Jesus was a real man who really existed, even if he was really executed, even if the story is accurate and he was prodded with a spear, even if the spear survived all this time, even assuming all of this is true there would be absolutely no way to tell. It's not as if we can conduct a DNA test to verify this. What's to stop someone from simply claiming a spear they found is the holy lance. In fact there are at least 4 different spears claimed to be the Holy Lance: One in Rome, one in Austria, one in Poland, and one in Armenia. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if all of them were fakes.Medieval churches attracted their congregation by possessing relics, this has lead to the emergence of many fake relics over the years.

Yes as this question has been asked before twice.--------------
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

Yes. We as a nation must represent all our population in our pledge. We are not properly representing our polytheistic and athiest population at all.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

This nation is made up of every race, religion, and ethnicity. SO we have to respect that. Not many countries are like that
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

Yes, there's supposed to be separation. And you make children, who may not even believe in God, say that every morning at school. It's stupid.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

No no no. While I liked the first answer "in every God we trust", it really doesn't matter by putting that word "every" in. They could maybe put in "all Gods" we trust but even that will upset a lot of people. Simply saying "God" is generalized; therefore it is not nevessary to change it.The ones that want it completely taken out are NOT those who want to respect all religions. They are the ones who want to censor religion, violate the freedom to practice it, and remove it from society. They are the atheists, who think that religious people are intellectally infereior, delusional mental cases.

They are the ones who want to censor religion, violate the freedom to practice it, and remove it from society. They are the atheists, who think that religious people are intellectally infereior, delusional mental cases.No one is asking to have religion removed from society they are asking to have it removed from government. The framers of this nation believed religion to be a private matter. Religion is a matter between "A Man and his God" only, it is not a matter for the state. I don't think the Government should be making theological statements on behalf of the American people, especially when those statements don't reflect the great diversity which has always been the pride of this nation. The phrase "In God we trust" was not in the original pledge, to alter the lyrics for religious and political reasons is a great disrespect to the authors of the pledge.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

That sounds like a semantical smokescreen if you ask me. This country is about 90% religious.Why don't we ask for a vote?We the People.There are a lot of American documents and songs that have the word God in them. Our National Anthem, for one.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

This country is about 90% religious.Well, actually it's more like 83.6% (including Hindus who trust in many Gods)According to a recent Gallup poll, only 78% of Americans believe in God. Source: http://www.gallup.com/poll/109108/Belief-God-Far-Lower-Western-US.aspx Many people who are affiliated with a particular religion hold views contrary to that religion. Nevertheless, this is no grounds to dictate belief upon the minority by the majority, nor to endorse such belief using public tax money provided by many of those who are not being represented by our currency."All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." ~Thomas Jefferson

Side: yes

Less than 1% of the US population is Eskimo. Maybe we should have a vote to see if Eskimos should wear their pants backwards and walk on their hands. Part of the wording of the Constitution was meant to protect the few, in this case non-religious, in others different minorities, from the many.And not a word of god had infiltrated any government content anywhere until mid 19th century, song, anthem, money or otherwise.Actually a large portion of the Christian and otherwise religious population argued against "god" on money because they considered it blasphemous - which makes a lot more sense until one realizes the function of large organized religion is way more about money and power than any moral objective.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency

The bill of rights is not up to majority vote.Should we have a vote on whether you can bear arms, or can be charged over and over for a crime you didn't commit, etc?
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

Um, no. Not saying it at all would be neutral ground. And not everyone refers to their creator, or ruler or whatever, as a god. No matter what words you use you are leaving someone out. But if you don't say anything at all then no one would probably even think about it. And before we continue, I want it out but am not atheists.

the main three religeons do christians call him god muslims call him allah which baisically is the same and jews call him god they just dont believe in jesus as god ps dont say they are not the three main cause christians alone compromise 33 percent of the world
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

You're point? So what if the three main religions do, that's still excluding. Meaning what's the point in mentioning it?
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

simply that our nation is based on majority wins and thats cause our representatives vote by that
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

I think that if it's not necessary to make a vote then the majority doesn't matter. It is in no way necessary to have these words on our currency or in our pledge, though I stopped reciting the pledge in middle school because I found it ridiculous. So that didn't really affect me.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

well god does deserve our worship and if you dont believe i respect that but still its obviousl still on there
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

How is reciting "In God we Trust" in a meaningless Pledge and on worthless money worshiping your God? I'd think it'd be insulting actually...And even if it is a form of worship that's still not necessary. And therefore the majority doesn't matter.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency

well we can debate all night but im tired but i will add that one day when christians are gone you need to repent if you promise that i will be happy

well are you a sinner (hint yes) in fact you cant tell me you havent everlied stolen or even though about having sex with someone already married
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

:') Oh my, what are you talking about? I've never stolen anything, and I've only thought about having sex with my boyfriend.And everyone is a sinner. Even you.I don't feel the need to repent because I am not a bad person for my "sins".
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

i know i am a sinner but i also know god loves me besides if i died right now i would go to heaven ps ii be tyou have lied
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

Everyone has lied, even you. Because there are accidental lies. And I don't believe Heaven or Hell. So that's kind of irrelevant to me.

im not im just asking that if and in my openion when christians disappear that you will ask for forgiveness and become a chritian cuz i do care about you even if i dont know you
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

You knew the answer already though. Because, as I said, EVERYONE lies. And, I'm seriously not trying to offend you, but your grammar and spelling makes it very difficult for me to understand what you're saying.

I'm sorry about bad language but I'm in high school freshman and honestly i don't take the time to spell check
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

You being a high school freshman is no excuse. You should have proper grammar and be able to spell by then. I'm not insulting you, I'm bitching about the stupid school systems. They don't teach the basics anymore. -__-
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

Yes. it should be removed. As we know non of religions do not call people to something bad. Every religion call people for forgiveness and peace. There are some people like terrorist who claim that by killing people u will go to the heaven. But the whole religion cannot be considered this way, as happened in Islam. Islam does not call anyone for war. But burning the Holy Quran was awful. So in what god do Americans trust??

Seperate Church from Government. Im tired of having to say it over and over.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: Yes

Yes. This in a way goes against the Establishment Clause in the very first amendment. I am atheist, and never say "one nation under God" in the pledge. I always say "one nation indivisible". This isn't just for atheists and agnostics, some other religions don't just have one God. It's ridiculous to have this as the motto in a free nation.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: Yes

Yes, it never should have been put there in the first place.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: Yes

Should be "in any god we trust" to make it better and more specific.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: Yes

Yes. 'In God we trust' only represents the Christian population(73% of the USA's population), but doesn't represent the whole country. This is especially important as the USA is a democracy, which represents the entire country.So therefore, it should be removed, as it does not represent the entire country.

Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency

It is a violation of the separation of church and state, and as such, needs to be removed from government endorsement.

Trust god in all you do. No matter what it seems like God IS REAL. The rest of the "gods" shouldn't be included as they are not real. People just created them because they were scared of being judged by God. But god doesn't judge you. TRUST HIM IN ALL YOU DO AND HE WILL DO GOOD
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

I honestly don't know if you're trolling with that answer. It's absolutely ridiculous.Relgion, and faith, is defined as a belief that you cannot prove. To even suggest that a country where the majority of the people do not believe in something should actively support both that belief and free thinking together is absolutely insane.Further than that, Christianity started with the birth of Jesus, around 2000 years ago. Both pagan and tribal religions started thousands of years before this, other religions were not started in a response to God's opinions, that's an incredibly self absorbed and ignorant view.
Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: No

We should not remove In God we Trust because they that is how we got our freedom that why we are free. Thats how this earth was created thats how we are here today. If it wasn't for God then the world would not be here and also we would not be here.

No, our country was founded because of Christianity. To remove the roots on which this nation was founded on would 1) be disrepectful to those who sacrificed their lives for our current existence and 2) cause unneccessary discord among ourselves.

Treaty of TripoliArticle XI:"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."...on January 3, 1797. It was submitted to the Senate by President John Adams, receiving ratification unanimously from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797.

Side: No

The Treaty of Tripoli was made 21 years later than the constitution on which we declared independence from Britain. Their original intentions will never be known. This Treaty is just as lame as when "All men are created equal." was put in the Declaration of Independence. Not all men were equal then or now.The date on the Declaration of Independence is written plainly for all to see; "1776 In the Year of Our Lord"

Side: yes

The Treaty of Tripoli was made 21 years later than the constitution on which we declared independence from Britain.Chuckles"The constitution on which we declare our independence"Um...no. The Declaration of Independence is what declared our independence, not the Constitution. The Constitution was written in 1787.The Treaty of Tripoli, was ratified only 10 years after the Constitution was written. To my knowledge none of the primary founding fathers had died in that time, So the treaty of Tripoli was written and approved by largely the same people who wrote the U.S. Constitution.That the Declaration of Independence was dated in a particular style common to Great Britain (to which the document is addressing) in no way invalidates the Treaty of Tripoli. Your argument, as usual, is both poorly researched and factually incorrect.

I suggest you quit laying claim to any college education, you continue to prove that educated idiots exist.I used constitution with a small c, not a capital C.American Heritage defines constitution as:3a The system of fundamental laws and principles that prescribes the nature, functions, and limits of a government or another institution. As for how many of those that were around 21 years later, I doubt if there was very many left. I am doing research to again prove you wrong. Will attach updated information to again prove your stupidity.

I suggest you quit laying claim to any college education, you continue to prove that educated idiots exist.Are you calling me an idiot? I really wish you would. I used constitution with a small c, not a capital C.American Heritage defines constitution as:3a The system of fundamental laws and principles that prescribes the nature, functions, and limits of a government or another institution.Regardless of whether you spell it with a big C or a little c this still wouldn't refer to the declaration of independence. Even according to the definition you provided it says >>>THE<<< system of fundamental laws. As in there is only one (per government). We already have one, the U.S. constitution. The Declaration of Independence cannot also be a constitution. Furthermore the Declaration of Independence doesn't prescribe the limits of government, it doesn't do any of the functions described in your definition.The difference between Constitution and constitution is how it is used in a sentence. This is what dictates capitalization.EX: The Constitution is the greatest of it's kind, it has been the inspiration of many nations' constitutions.This is purely an attempt to back-peddle; To rationalize your error. Attempt failed.As for how many of those that were around 21 years later, I doubt if there was very many leftIt would have been 10 years later after the authorship of the Constitution, as I have previously noted. In fact there is more time between the the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, than there is between the U.S. Constitution and the Treaty of Tripoli. The U.S. Constitution is what establishes national Jurisprudence. The Treaty of Tripoli was written nearly all by the same people who wrote the Constitution. This isn't even debatable.

If that definition of constitution doesn't suit you, there are several others.Merriam-Webster 2b : the structure, composition, physical makeup, or nature of something 3: the act of establishing, making, or setting up 5b : a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization And yes you are an idiot. Second of I never said anything about the "Constitution", I clearly said "Declaration of Independence"
