"In God We Trust" - (7/11/02)
  

I'm sure most of you remember the recent Supreme Court ruling about the Pledge of Allegiance and how we are supposed to remove "One nation under GOD" from the Pledge due to separation of church and state laws that currently exist.  

Although I am a catholic I can live with it.  I truly believe in the constitution and I am always concerned about mixing religion and politics.  Many of the wars in the past 1000 years have been fought over religion.  The Palestinian / Israeli conflict is driven by religion also. 

Well how about this.......

Take a look at your U.S. currency..........The very dollar bill that every American holds in his or her pocket.

The inscription "In God We Trust" was added in 1955 to the back of U.S dollar bills..  While I am not positive I believe "One nation under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance around that time too.

Wouldn't it be interestesting if the Supreme Court ruled that U.S. currency violated the separation of church and state and the Federal Reserve had to create new dollar bills?  And the counterfeiters would have to start all over again!  

I hope everyone finds this interesting.......
