In the wake of Michael Newdow’s famous failed legal attempts to remove “In God We Trust” from the public square, local governments increasingly are moving to display the national motto to acknowledge government isn’t the ultimate source of the nation’s prosperity nor the solution to its problems.

 

More than 370 local governments in 15 states have voted to display the motto, according to an activist group.

 

Just last week, the Green County Commission in Missouri approved a plan to display “In God We Trust” in commission chambers in the county courthouse. While some citizens urged commissioners to reject the proposal because it did not “respect religious diversity,” presiding commissioner Jim Viebrock argued the commission couldn’t satisfy everyone; but everyone, regardless of religious belief, is welcome in the county chambers.

 

A few days earlier, officials in Mobile, Alabama, were asked by community members to display “In God We Trust” in council chambers.

 

Making the request was Gulf Shores resident Jon Butler, who said similar resolutions already have been approved in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Summerdale, Silverhill, Elberta, Robertsdale and Foley.

 

And in Greenville County, the council voted unanimously to display the motto inside council chambers.

 

Councilman Fred Payne said he proposed the idea after getting an email newsletter from “In God We Trust America,” a group started by Jacquie Sullivan of the Bakersfield, California, City Council.

  • The term “Trust” isn’t necessarily a term which means ‘to have confidence in”……but is also A BANKING TERM which is a relationship whereby property is held by one party for the benefit of another. A trust is created by a settlor, who transfers property to a trustee. The trustee holds that property for the trust’s beneficiaries.

    Gives you an entire new way of looking at the phrase In God We Trust, doesn’t it. :shock:

    (Words are used by different people in different ways. Your interpretation of something isn’t necessarily what the original something was meant to convey. Why would Jewish bankers want this phrase on the most powerful CURRENCY in the world? The Jews who control the very top of the power-pyramid are Masters at sorcery, numerology, and the secrets of words and phrases.)
