Wrong.

Care to explain exactly what is wrong with my statement? It seems in keeping with the text of the amendment.

Care to explain exactly what is wrong with my statement? It seems in keeping with the text of the amendment.

Read my previous post.

Congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion, which is forbidden word for word by the First Amendment.

By putting "In God We Trust" on US Currency, they also violated our Freedom of Speech and our Freedom of Religion by speaking for us (lying about our beliefs) and blatantly stating to the world that all Americans trust in god.

It's the clearest violation(s) of the Bill of Rights I know of. No room at all for debate.

That might be a valid point (one I'd still dispute), if I had said anything about "In God We Trust". Which I didn't. Allow me to refresh you on what I actually said (and I'll even multi-quote to provide context):

Unconstitutional? All its said was "our heavenly father" It's like saying "mother earth", big f-ing deal.

It's not at all like saying mother earth. And technically it would be unconstitutional.

Technically, all the constitution says is that the government cannot establish a state religion or prevent the free exercise thereof. There actually is nothing in the constitution that even prohibits the government from endorsing a religion, as long as it is not mandated to the citizenry.

So again--care to identify what is incorrect in my statement?
