    Are you aware the motto wasn’t established until 1956? It’s not like it has some deep rooted history. Fundamentalists took over the government and put it into place relatively recently.

      I know, but it’s been, what, almost 70 years… Why change it now? I don’t think anyone from a non-christian religion is offended by it, right? Although, true, reverting to a previous motto would please everyone I suppose…

        I mean…what’s 70 years of precedence…it’s not like Roe v. Wade or anything?

          So, you’re saying the motto shouldn’t be changed? :) As for RvW, as unbelivably as it might seem, I didn’t follow that one so I can’t take a position because I am not informed enough.
