How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

"In God We Trust" Motto Still on New $1 Coins

The U.S. Mint is beginning a new $1 coin series featuring the Presidents of the United States. The first four look like so:



Apparently there has been a rumor that the familiar "In God We Trust" motto will not be part of the design. This is not true. Though the phrase does not appear on the front or back of the coin, neither does "E Pluribus Unum" nor the year and location the coin is minted. These all appear on the side of the coins:



I suppose some will be upset by this "marginalization" of God. I guess the whole "In God We Trust" thing is so generic that it doesn't bother me so much. I'd prefer "In Yahweh We Trust" or "In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Now that would be something to fight over!
