Where Did All The Old Timers Go, A Public Meeting Place For Open Discussion

"In God We Trust" is the current national motto of the United States. It was declared as such by an act of Congress in 1956. Though some believe that this Act displaced an already existing national motto, E Pluribus Unum, the Congressional Record version of the legislation stated: "At the present time the United States has no national motto. The committee deems it most appropriate that 'In God we trust' be so designated as our national motto."[1]

E Pluribus Unum was, in fact, a motto that was one of three voted and approved for the national seal in 1782, but it was never voted, by any legislative act, as "the national motto."

One possible origin of the national motto is the final stanza of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key (and later adopted as the U.S. National Anthem), the song contains one of the earliest references to a variation of the phrase: "...And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

In God We Trust is also the official state motto of the state of Florida, and is found on the Seal of Florida. In God We Trust is also found on the flag of Georgia, as adopted by that state in 2003.

We have to look at the fact that the founding fathers were Christians. Their greatest gift was separation of church and state. Religion has often shown some influence in our laws. If we look at any particular writings though, we might want to look to Blackstone's writings and their influence on American law. Strange, most people have no idea who Blackstone was.

 

locoeng, I checked out the treads you posted, the one that I tought was very intersting was the one called official horrow movie thread, I really like it cause I'm a big horror fan, the one post about the 1980 horror flick called, Cannibal Holocaust, it intersted me, I checked my blockbuster on-line info and they dont carry it, I checked barnes&noble and they do but I dont want to buy it just rent it.

But can anybody tell me why that thread was closed, cause I didnt see anything offensive on it, shame cause I liked it.

 

I checked out bad taste in my blockbuster que, they had it, read on it and it was intersting, put it in my que, I also checked on meet the feebles, they dont carry it, checked ot on Barnes&Noble, of course they dont rent, but the Synopsis cought my interest even tough I dont like animation to much, will check some other places though.

 

aaahh, shame about meet the feebles, I could have gone for checking it out, I also checked on dead alive, read the Synopsis on blockbuster, they do have it, but after reading it I remember I saw it, it was nutzy I enjoyed it.
