A Rambling Thought
Who decided the words,
“IN GOD WE TRUST”
Should be on our country’s currency?
I hear so many people exclaim, We live in a Christian Nation, a God Fearing Nation, however, I read
The bible and I know from this book that this God said Thou shalt have NO other gods before me and make NO graven images before me.
Yet these words are on our currency, Now, does this not mean that by doing that, you are placing money higher than God, or maybe, the true God worshiped is money.
Don’t get me wrong, I use currency, cash, debit, barter, trade, and I’ve used credit, but I never Loved money or made it my life goal to accumulate wealth.
Because if you’re not in debt by having all the newest things and blings, you’re not good enough, not a good person, not prosperous, not happy, and that is all I seem to see and hear anymore.
I have never understood this form of lustful avarice, a gluttony, consuming everything at any cost.
What happened to living comfortably?
