Harumph! I’ll have you know there are MANY ways in which I’m a pig. Don’t limit me!
But he will be dead, a thought that comforts me.
I had a coworker who told me that I shouldn’t spend the new dollar coins because it was a plot by the atheists to get god out of our country (I am not making this up. I thought about Pitting her than just shrugged and moved on). She got 2 responses to her plea: 1. another nurse said her faith was not dependent on what appeared on a coin, so that “the atheist plot” was irrelevant and 2. I pointed out to her that if these dollars weren’t used, they would only accrue in value, thereby negating her purpose and enriching the atheists.
She stopped talking about it.
No, this one is totally true! Also, the word “GULLIBLE” is inscribed along the edge! Take a look at one!
Well, I’m glad that word is somewhere! Did you know it’s not printed in any dictionary extant?
Ha! It is too! I just looked it up.
What people fail to realize is that it wasn’t a government decision to drop the motto. It was God that made the request (backed up by the threat of divine smiting and a legal injunction). In a public statement, God said He views his relationship with the United States as being “just friends” and is considering designating another country as the earthly manifestation of His will.
Like maybe China. They make everything better and cheaper than the US any way. Sheesh.
Things like our coins. Seriously. We’ve begun to outsource the minting of coins to the Shenzhen Guobao Mint in China. That’s where the mistake of leaving off the motto was made. (cite)
Working with her must be…interesting. I, personally, wonder what some people are trying to prove when they loudly protest their faith.
So, what you’re saying is that God said He’s “just not that into you” to the US? In a public conference?
That’s harsh. Almost as bad as a break-up over IM.
If only it was true
I guess I’ll have to make do by Dremeling the “IGWT” off coinage myself
MacTech, you could always save some time my just dremeling off the first t in ‘trust’.
She is interesting. She has an annoying habit of asking me (not other people, just me) if I’m ok or “what’s wrong?” if I am not smiling constantly. It’s irritating. Her job has been eliminated and she won’t be with us after Feb. 1, so it’s all good…
They feel guilty that they couldn’t afford a “JESUS” license plate for the front of their car.

You should go up to her on February 1 and ask her “Are you ok? What’s wrong?”
No, Snopes is a fucking sell out site where you get to be bombarded by nasty pop-up ads and even spyware. Not my friend. :mad: Too bad.
So all this time I’ve been reading it wrong ? It doesn’t say “in god we thrust” ?
If GWB is still alive in 2014, which is two years before the end of the scheduled run, he’ll never appear on a coin. I’d say that this is pretty likely.
Pity we can’t change it to “In Og we smash.”
Them.
