TX SR 141 In God We Trust in GOLD Lettering

"In God We Trust" on the wall behind the lecterns of the Texas Senate Chamber. The House version did the same for the wall of the the House chamber.

Senator Dan Patrick from Houston introduced this legislation. Most Houstonians will remember Dan from when he was a sports caster on the local TV news in Houston. During the "Luv Ya Blue" phase of the Houston Oilers, Dan wore an over-sized baby-blue foam cowboy hat for the Oilers. I believe that was that most important thing he's ever done for Texas.

By the way, yes, I'm aware I was having a bad hair day. It was windy outside that day!

Come to the state/church rally in Austin! Sept 8 from noon till 3pm at the Texas State Capitol. More info: http://www.atheists.org/tx

If you like your liberty it's because this country was founded by white people who pursued the freedom to worship God. You were probably thought this at a thanksgiving dinner.

[aajoeyjo]

mlozano1984 - You think liberty exists only because of God-worshippers? That's mighty arrogant, but you should also remember that there were other people here first, and they had their own religion. The reason we don't see them all over the place, in the majority even, is because Christians from Europe MURDERED them. Liberty exists DESPITE Christianity.

[aajoeyjo]

mlozano1984 - And your comment about Thanksgiving dinner isn't lost on me. I don't do Thanksgiving at all. Some Atheists say I'm nuts because Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday. You probably think it is, and I would agree with you on that. So to be consistent, I boycott that religious nonsense.

aajoeyjo. in response to Krilok223. There's evidence that God exists. You just have to close your eyes and ask with your heart the question that your heart needs answer for. You know these "men" were not some ignorant God believers. Moses himself was educated. Egyptians had outstanding education. There are more examples of intellectual men who had contact with the guy you dislike. Don't fool yourself and fool others.

mlozano1984 - What is the evidence that a god exists? Closing our eyes is a way to NOT find evidence for something. Hearts pump blood, they don't ask questions and don't need answers. If Moses indeed got educated, at all, then why did he sheepishly obey God, by ordering the slaughter of all those innocent people in the desert? Some education...

Way to deface an otherwise pretty room. Fuck god, I want to trust that the judges are impartial, which apparently they aren't.

well said aajoeyjo. People like to re-write their own versions of history and forget what really happened. We are not and never have been an xstian nation. Hopefully it stays that way. Or we will see more and more of our freedoms erode under the tyranny of a theocratic government. You want theocracy? Move to Saudi Arabia.

The monument to atheism is the Soviet Union, which was hated by all and eventually destroyed by its own people.

@cowdragon They did the tricks with a repeatedly inferior twist.

[cowdragon]

he also forgot that when moses went to ask for the hebrews to be freed... AMAZINGLY the Pharaohs priests were able to do all the same "tricks" that moses did. So either their gods are real as well or they were all illusionists, lol.

No evidence whatsoever for the biblical god. NONE
