You're so much better at putting things than I am.  :'( But seriously, that's also, what I was trying to say.

god is a noun.

1.   the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
2.   the Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute: the God of Islam.
3.   (lowercase) one of several deities, esp. a male deity, presiding over some portion of worldly affairs.
4.   (often lowercase) a supreme being according to some particular conception: the god of mercy.
5.   Christian Science. the Supreme Being, understood as Life, Truth, Love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Principle.
6.   (lowercase) an image of a deity; an idol.
7.   (lowercase) any deified person or object.
8.   (often lowercase) Gods, Theater.
a.   the upper balcony in a theater.
b.   the spectators in this part of the balcony.


I think it's a little ridiculous to get this upset over it. Seriously? Censoring God's name in the bills and in the pledge is censorship nonetheless.

We take out God, we take away public celebrations of Easter, of Christmas, and of other religious holidays. Why? Because those are also offensive to people who think that their religion is right.

And it's not like it's clearly a Christian God- it can be the Islam God, the Jewish God, one of the Hindu Gods... Hell, it could be Lobsel Vith or Xuchilbara from Silent Hill for all we know. /:


Just on a side note, I don't particularly approve of God's name on the dollar bill, but I'm not going to say we should change it to attempt to please everyone, since-working from personal experience here- that kind of crap is never going to work.

As a race, people will never be happy-everyone has a different happy medium.
