In God We Trust--NOT!Tommi Avicolli Meccabyline‚ Nov. 27‚ 2006Michael Newdow just won’t quit. And I for one am damn glad. An avowed atheist doctor and lawyer, Newdow first became public enemy number one when he sued to remove “one nation under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. He won in his second attempt; his first was rejected because he filed on behalf of a daughter he didn’t have custody of. That second decision is, of course, being appealed. Now, Newdow wants to get rid of the words “in God we trust” from our currency. His lawsuit in federal court in Sacramento was recently condemned by a bunch of congress members who filed an amicus brief on the side of keeping God in the paper and coinage we use to pay for everything from toilet paper to guns. |
