Meaningless symbolism and sops to tradition, nothing more. Wouldn't change a thing to be rid of them, you know.

I hear you saying, "Yes, they are acknowledgments of God."

I also hear you saying that we should stop putting "In God we Trust" on our money? Am I hearing you correctly?

Do the words "meaningless tradition" have any meaning to you? Its like wigs in English courts.

And yes, you could remove "In God We Trust" from the money - I can't say as having it on there particularly adds to its value.

Moore's case wasn't about his right to acknowledge God.

It was about his right to force everybody else in Alabama to acknowledge God as he saw fit.
