Good grief. Don't these angry atheists have anything better to do that whine about decals on police vehicles?A Texas man has joined the fight against 'In God We Trust' decals on the police cars. Governor Greg Abbott has signaled support for the message, which the San Juan Police Department and others say is referring to assaults on police across the country.
San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez offered KGBT a written statement in response, saying officers were able to obtain the decals at no cost to the city.
"We are not trying to make any type of statement. It was just the right thing to do in my opinion," Gonzalez said.
Last week, a state representative and state senator who represent Childress asked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to issue an opinion on the legality of the decals on police cars. Paxton has previously voiced support for the policy, according to the Austin American-Statesman, saying on Facebook that it “represents a historical premise on which our great nation was founded.”
While Paxton has until April to issue a nonbonding opinion, Governor Abbott wrote a letter to the attorney general saying he supported the policy.
“As the Supreme Court has held time and again, the Constitution commands acknowledgement and accommodation of religion, rather than hostility towards religion,” Abbott wrote Monday. “Given these well-established principles, it is unsurprising that ‘In God we trust’ has survived every legal challenge.

Just last night we heard from Sanders about how America was just so tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton's criminal email behavior.

It's seriously embarrassing. No wonder Atheists are scorned and nobody votes for them.

I didn't think government officials should endorse specific religions in official capacity. What do I know, though...

If you don't think all Christians should be judged by the actions of westboro baptist church, you should take the same approach against a group of people who have even less in common in terms of beliefs. Originally Posted by Tennisace

If government officials can't endorse one worldview, then we should apply it fairly to all government officials and make it so none of them can endorse any worldview. Originally Posted by Revi

That's not how it works. Who are you or any other angry atheist to tell these people what to put on their vehicles. Originally Posted by Revi

I'm not an angry atheist, and it's not "their" vehicle, it's a government/state vehicle used in an official capacity. You can write whatever religious sentiment you want on your car. Originally Posted by Tennisace

The attorney general ruled on it. Who do these atheists think they are to be above the law? So shameful. No wonder the rest of society doesn't take them seriously. Originally Posted by Revi

The attorney general of Texas doesn't have final say over the constitutionality of the issue. Originally Posted by Tennisace

I mean a few people complain and now all atheists are assholes? I don't give a shit what the side of their cars says, I mean I guess "In god we trust" over "to protect and serve" huh? I also don't give a shit if you say merry christmas either or Bless you when I sneeze. I realize you are trying to be polite and courteous not be offensive. To the extremely ignorant OP perhaps they are concerned because religious people tend to take advantage when they are not questioned. You know like in the 1950's when Mc Carthy and his buddies used the anti-communist movement to introduce things like "Under god" to the pledge and "In God we Trust" on our currency. Most the time when atheists complain about stuff like this, it is done so it doesn't set a precedent of establishing religion in what is supposed to be a secular government.
