Oh, and I'm not talking about Bro. Eastman being stupid, but the people who started the rumor....just wanted to make that clear.
And why does it really matter anyhow?

He's not an American God. If His name is on the money, no big deal. If it's not, no big deal. He's just so much bigger than this issue. It always makes me kind of wonder if I'm missing something when other's make such a big deal over this.

Re: New Coin

A more secular America! Perfect! It doesn't affect me any, I don't pledge to the flag, I wouldn't serve in the military, and I might just stop voting ! GOD's not interested in America, HE's interested in HIS Holy Nation! I give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and I don't bother the US and they don't bother me, and on the coin that JESUS saw in HIS day, it didn't say, "In GOD we Trust" and JESUS didn't seem to mind!

Actualy it would affect you. You think the rigths we enjoy are always going to be so easliy enjoyed without some involvement?
We would not have them unless someone thought different than you.
THere are those that would totally secularize this nation and ultimatley remaove all vestiges of Christianity and it's (His) influence on our nation and the world.

I will ALWAYS have the freedom to worship... The early church had the freedom to worship. They were persecuted, but they were still FREE. No one can take the heart out of me that desires to praise my GOD and unless my mouth is stopped I'll continue to praise HIM! Throw me into a Coliseum sure, and you've made my life a testimony to the 20,000 souls surrounded to see the lions eat me. This was the thought of the early church and this is to be our train of thought. Also, I doubt America would get to this point. The USA will probably leave Christians alone, but keep removing GOD from our society, but that's fine, most things that call itself "Christianity" today are not Christian (ie. Nativity scenes, crosses, ect, ect...).

Youth can be so idealistic. You make it sound like what they went through was a picnic. If it happens, so be it. If I can make a difference and vote I definitely will.

This comment dear Bro. would offend any veteran that reads it. You really need to think before you type. There are reasons why you still have these freedoms in America!

All my mom's brothers served in the military, and I have a great-uncle who is a Vietnam veteran, and they know my thoughts and they respect them because I'm not some "anti-American" nut, I'm just a Amish-Menno Pentecostal who is into nonviolence and a nonresistant lifestyle (for the CHRISTIAN)- the heathens can go and fight, but my battle is on my knees, not with swords or chariots and not with flesh and blood.

Plus, I'm in another nation- the Swiss don't fight in the Spanish army, and the Christian doesn't fight in the army of any earthly nation!

The loss of your freedom will start somewhere. Don't ever get to the place that you don't care what the world is doing with your freedoms.
