HOW did things get so MESSED UP?

I got this reply in an email the other day in regards to an EMail I had sent about no more "In God We Trust" on currency, etc.

HOW did things get so messed up? When did it start, and who started it? Have we been slowly taken over and had all of our thoughts and rights taken over and changed by some mysterious source?

Right after our founding fathers decided to establish this country, and on our money place the phrase, that some OTHER source started working to take it off. There is a right and left and a good and bad. Is there always opposition to anything that takes place? When did SOMETHING become so powerfull that it can change almost anything.

Are atheists that powerfull, or is it the ACLU that is "protecting" all of our freedoms, and interpreting all of our laws in one way or another.

IN GOD WE TRUST, what should it be if not that? There was a TV show years ago, Who Do You Trust, I think it was, they never decided, as I recall.

Why can't we trust GOD? We know primarily who we CAN'T trust, at least most of the time, and with total certainty. I can't think of anyone I can trust with 100% certainty, other than GOD, so why not use the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST.

TRUST, there were Savings and Trust companies, we trust banks, generally, but they failed at one time, and, I think, once you lose your "trust" in someone, it is difficult, or can never be regained, it is unrepairable or non repairable, "I can never trust you again."

So we have IN and WE, which by themselves are little two letter words. Alone they don't mean much but put in that phrase, they have deep meaning IN God ........... WE Trust, four words, 12 letters, but a whole world of meaning, and they harm no one, yet they cause so much consternation in some... how can they, that do not believe in GOD, be so much stronger than those of us who DO believe there is a God.

The new Dollar coin does not have that inscription upon it, so if offered one, by a bank or anyone, just refuse it, and ask for a dollar bill, or change to make a dollar. Take that dollar bill, or that dollars worth of change, and buy a RED arm bracelet, and wear it, for our troops and armed forces, show them we TRUST and believe in them, and appreciate the sacrifices they are making so that all of us, including those who deleted the phrase from out dollar coin, can live free and out of harms way.
