26. I think so. Every cup of coffee we buy is in the name of God. No wonder we're consumerist.

No secular country, with universal heath care, equal rights, actually puts the name of God on their money. (Does any country other than us put the word God on money?) Every fraud, large or small, in our country, is done in the name of God. No wonder fundies are okay with every fleecing they do. :crazy:

Instead of worrying about what we should call the union of two people, we could just admit that God is not on our side every time we purchase something. It might go a long way in terms of civil rights. The Euro was hugely redesigned from individual country nationalism icons to evoke pics of buildings a few years ago, why not us?
