The 'GO TO H____' one always amazed me. How can one tell someone go there if one doesn't beleive the place exists???? Or spending money that says 'In God we trust'... I will NEVER spend money that says In satan we trust or in nothing we trust or in budda we trust or in cows we trust.

GO TO HEL! That better? Hel is the place in norse mythology (which you stole, by the fucking way) where the dishonored dead go when they die.
"Go to hell" is an expression. Also, it mentions "hell" in your own holy book. It won't kill you to type it all out, I promise.
As for the "In God We Trust" thing, non-believers don't really have a choice if they want to use physical US currency, do they?
I don't get it. halfpint here ADMITS that he or she would be offended if her currency said "In [Another Thing] I Trust," yet he or she has no problem forcing that currency onto other people, knowing that they'd be just as offended?
Never travel outside of the US then, most money don't say anything about God, I think.
We'll start saying Go to America, is that better? We know that exists.
"I will NEVER spend money that says In satan we trust or in nothing we trust or in budda we trust or in cows we trust."
Would "In Good we trust." or "In goodness we trust." work? Because, in that case, I think I fixed it.
I don't need to believe in Hell to "send" you there. Only you need to believe in it to be offended.
"I will NEVER spend money that says In satan we trust or in nothing we trust or in budda we trust or in cows we trust."
I guess you'll never travel outside America then. Especially in Europe. You won't see 'In God we trust' on the Euro. Or elsewhere. The Rouble. The Rand. The Rupee. The Yen. The Yuan. And don't even think of visiting my country, the UK. Because not only do we not have 'In God we trust' on our currency, we have on the back of our £10 note:

Yep. Your most reviled and hated enemy of all things Creationist, Charles Darwin. Yet, our sovereign and Defender of the Faith, Queen Elizabeth II is on the front of said note. Do you seriously believe she wouldn't have allowed her image on said note, if she felt her own faith was threatened by what Darwin represents? She clearly doesn't care. So why should you be so concerned about what other countries' currencies have or don't have on them?
Once you start not caring about wording on currencies, I suggest you start spending such in those countries. You might learn a thing or two about said countries, their people and culture. Certainly about your own place in the world. Travel broadens the mind indeed.
The same way you can use money that has pyramids on it or the Roman goddess Liberty. Or buy flowers from FTD Florists, with the Mercury logo. Or put up pagan symbols like Christmas trees, holly and mistletoe.
"Or spending money that says 'In God we trust'... I will NEVER spend money that says In satan we trust or in nothing we trust or in budda we trust or in cows we trust."
Then I suggest you never come here to the UK, if you know what's good for you:

Nope, no 'In God We Trust' for we Brits. Merely the image of the man who has done more to advance scientific knowledge, in the fields of biology and botany. Whose descoveries changed the way humanity throughout the world thought about it's origins forever. Have I blown your mind, halfpint?

Me too:

The one and only Keiji Gotoh . Anime director, and character designer supreme. His works have always amazed me - particularly the stylish Sci-Fi-fest (and 21st Century "Dirty Pair") that is his labour of love, "Kiddy Grade":

@Tormentor of Religion;
That's not all they stole. The Norse men had a myth that in which Odin, the king of Asgard and lord of the gods, in a bid to gain all the wisdom of the universe, was willingly nailed to the World Tree, where he expired but came back to life three days later; and he was now all-knowing.
This myth predates Christianity by at least two centuries.
How about "Go to the Underworld, to meet Anubis? When you fail the Heart Test, May the Crocs eat it like candy. By the way, how about " In Osiris We Trust"? Sounds good to me.

Yes, fundies. And we Pagans would like all of our symbols BACK, please.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
