So, sorry mate, but you don't have my vote
Oh, PLEASE!
Ummm? God isn't really connected to our economy if he was I don't think he would let it get this bad. But I don't know, I am really not religious at all, I just don't think you understand what they are trying to do to us all in the United States, you guys in the UK I thought would understand more, your government took the right from you guys to carry knives right? Well if the President of the U.S. had his way we would all lose our guns, our cars, electricity, wood, paper, etc. we will all live in camps. I really like you Uk guys so don't get me wrong, we just don't back down to things like this very easily.
I'm not from the UK, I'm from the Netherlands
But we've already been there. Many things have been forbidden already and lots of things have changed (definitely not all for the better).
Most of those things had a much bigger impact than a phrase on a coin will ever have, so for me that phrase is not a big deal. No offense meant because it might be for you
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not happy with the way the US government is doing things, but a phrase referring to "God", in which I do not believe he or she exists, is better dropped in my opinion. Like I said, we have the same phrase (in Dutch) on our coins (or had before the Euro) but I had the same feeling about it as well, even though it was there for several hundred years already....
But before this goes of on the wrong foot, keep in mind that I'm not a native US/UK speaker so I might have slight problems expressing myself on certain subjects.
And even if I do not have the same opinion on a certain subject than you have, it's nothing personal. You're a top guy
