Newdow's back and still making a fool of himself
Sacramento Atheist Files Currency Lawsuit
The Sacramento area atheist who's spent years trying to ban the pledge of allegiance in public schools is filing a new lawsuit this week.
Michael Newdow says he'll ask a federal court to remove the national motto "In God We Trust" from money.
He says it violates the religious rights of atheists who belong to his First Amendment Church of True Science.
Newdow says it wouldn't be right to take up a collection when the money says "In God We Trust."
So go start your own country somewhere and print up your own currency, Newdow.
And I do so love the irony of the phrase "Sacramento atheist." (If you don't get it, click here.)
UPDATE: Here's a great question I saw online for Newdow and his supporters: who's going to pay for the printing and minting of new money? If you guys want new money without the phrase on it, why don't YOU pay for it? You all complain about how bad the economy and the federal deficit are, yet you obviously have no problem with hurting them even more with your ridiculous agenda against any mention of God in public.
UPDATE 2: Just did some quick searching on the U.S. Mint website. They state "[i]n 2004, the United States Mint produced approximately 13.6 billion coins for general circulation."
