In God We Trust

Michael Newdow is at it again. The atheist crusader, who is known for his failed attempts to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, is now filing a suit to get "In God We Trust" off of U.S. currency.

Newdow's glib mannerisms are perplexing. He says the national motto violates the religious rights of atheists who belong to his "First Amendment Church of True Science." The church's "three suggestions" are "question, be honest and do what's right."

Can he really be that blind to his own inconsistencies? Terms like "honest" and "right" imply an objective standard authored by a Higher Power. Man cannot appeal to truth and righteousness without God. In forfeiting his God, Newdow has also forfeited all forms of morality--including his protests that references to God are "wrong."

In the words of C.S. Lewis, we all live by some law that we did not invent and that we know we ought to obey. God's moral imprint is found universally on the human heart. The only difference between atheists and theists is, theists are honest enough to admit it's there.

Monday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal to remove "In God We Trust" from a public building, so it appears that Newdow's complaint doesn't have a prayer.
