    Doesn’t that go against separation of church and state, and if this is government pushed, isn’t this a first amendment violation?

        Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.

      The way it was worded basically said that it had to be the national motto, thereby not making it a religious text to bypass the concerns you mentioned.

      Look at the dollar bill. America has never given two shits about the separation of church and state.

    I’ve seen this before, but I’ve never been able to verify it as being real.

    Very slim chance this actually happened. There no actual photo of the flag, just a digital image that was created. Which means if it was not the creator of the flag, but a third person- they’d have a photo of the flag or in the least- not bothered recreating it in photoshop, but just describing it in enough detail. And if it was the creator that posted this- it wouldn’t be in 3rd person suggesting “someone” did this.

    Additionally, In the rare chance it did happen- it wouldn’t be enforced.

      What? You mean someone would just go on the Internet and lie like that?
