Yet another shining example of Christian Tolerance.

About the attempt to add a "In God We Trust" engraving to the Capitol Visitor Center. I wish all bigots were so brazen and unworried about keeping face as this one. Emphasis mine.

Did you know that “In God We Trust” is the official motto of the United States? It is.

The Wisconsin-based church-state watchdog group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) claims the engravings are unconstitutional and would exclude the 15% of Americans who identify themselves as non-religious.

Congratulations FFRF, you’re correct about one thing – but wrong about another. First of all you’re correct that the engravings will exclude you. This is the intent. We want you excluded. Keeping idiocy out of the mainstream is a healthy goal. However, you are wrong about something… there are not 15% of Americans who identify themselves as non-religious. At best, (or worst, depending on your point of view) only 5% of our population claims atheist/agnostic status.

Because of the glorious and unique foundation of Christian principles, precepts and beliefs this country rests upon and due to the indelible imprint the founding fathers gave us by using them in our constitution and declaration of independence, these kinds of engravings and inscriptions will never be eliminated from our government.

I'll let the highly-concentrated evil speak for itself. And let me just add that even I, a foreigner, know the US motto is "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One).

When the first brainless nincompoop spouts the expected "He's Not a Real Christian" fallacy, I'll disclose this white-text.

1. "E Pluribus Unum"

That's the official motto of the United States.

What a bunch of dumbasses.

2. Correction

It seems I was wrong about the official thing. "In God We Trust" really was made the official motto in the 1950s. So what? Doesn't make it any less evil. It serves only as a cautionary tale: a Constitutional principle is only as powerful as the people in power wish it to be.

4. I really like the ending of the article.

"They have a right to believe whatever they want and they can choose to remain on the fringe. They just don’t have the right to tie up our courts with frivolity and stupidity."

So only Xtians have the right to tie up their courts with frivolity and stupidity... I think that should be engraved on the Washington Visitor's Center too... just so that visitors can really get some insight into what goes along with the "In God We Trust" 'motto'...
