Money Gods ( Archived) (27)

For centuries Kings, Queens, Presidents et al, as far back as Roman times; have placed gods and or words of god on their currency. Subliminal advertising in plain sight?

Why is money tied to god/gods and for what purpose?

In God We Trust is also found on the flag of Georgia, flag of Florida, and the Seal of Florida. It was first adopted by the state of Georgia for use on flags in 2001, and subsequently included on the Georgia flag of 2003. In Florida, it became the state motto during the term of Republican governor Jeb Bush, a Roman Catholic, who signed the bill making it so into law. Starting in 2007, the phrase can also be found on the license plates of Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Ohio (it can be selected among offered designs). On May 28, 2008, Florida governor Charlie Crist signed into law Senate Bill 734, which amended the state's specialty license plates law (320.08056) to include an "In God We Trust" automobile license plate as an option for residents.

WTF? god laws? what is with forced and subliminal adherence. why god? why not "in myself I trust?"

i respect religious views on god, but ... ffs ... if I'm not mistaken indulging materialism is the furthest thing from god?, so why is he geeting rammed down out throats on currency and by law???

curious

Excellent thread....wish I had more to offer!!

One southren state is now offering a plate with a CROSS on it...with the wordsa I BELIEVE. The ACLU is trying to block said plate.

It's either S.Carolina or Georgia

And the state senator is putting up $4000 to get it started.

What happened to separation of church and state

I think it is because Kings, Queens, ect....... have always had a lot of money and figured they had to justify it with the people as it was a good thing

well thats why its a poll
if you want to add bald thats your choice

think I'll just get a marker and scribble out god and replace it with 'bald'...

Hysterical....

"In 1861, the Reverend M.R. Watkinson persuaded the secretary of the Treasury to try to introduce 'In God We Trust' as a motto on the coins of the land, arguing on the theological premise that in a Judeo-Christian nation, 'There is but one God.' Congress, then beginning to be responsive to the religious community and the votes that it was presumed to control, passed the Coinage Act of April 22, 1864, which designated that 'In God We Trust' be put on coins 'when and where sufficient space in the balance of the design' would permit it."

Rev. Watkinson's missive was directed to Secretary of the Treasury Samuel P. Chase. It read:

"Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.

One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.

You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW..."

What's been done?Not sure i follow.
