"For them to try to remove these words [from the currency] is nothing other than an attempt to try to basically remove God from society, and I really don't think the people of this country want that."
That's an opinion. Whether people want it or not is of no concequence. If you state a law stating that there will be a separation of church and state, I believe that ANY means of church should be taken out of state/government. Whether it hold any moral value to the past history or not, it is a sheer hypocritical statement made my religious fanatics of the past.
This may seem petty, but what about the cultures that believe in more than one god, or perhaps the atheists of the country could be offended who believe in no god, yet are forced (yes forced) every day to recite the same passage that contradicts itself to the governments own laws.
I personally believe no religion is right or wrong, and that all religions are right in their own means. By specifying the word GOD which means 1 god the government is thereby contradicting itself.
If one of the most powerful governmental systems in the world can't follow it's own laws how does it expect it's entire nation to follow them as well?
