"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

IN LEPRECHAUNS WE TRUST
Here in Idiot America we have something called the Establishment Clause which is a good thing. It's in our Bill of Rights which is sacred and can never be thrown out. The world would be a much better place if every nation had an Establishment Clause.
The Establishment Clause is very simple. It's the 1st Clause of the 1st Amendment of our Constitution. The 1st 10 Amendments are called our Bill of Rights. This is the entire 1st Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Two clauses of the First Amendment concern the relationship of government to religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause.
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" is the 2nd Clause which means if you're a fucking retard who wants to worship a magical being, aka god, you can go ahead and do that. You can suck up to any god fairy you want. Nobody cares. It's called the Free Exercise Clause.
The 1st Clause of the 1st Amendment is the Establishment Clause: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This means the fucktards of Idiot America are not allowed to stick their childish religious fantasies into our governments including the federal government, the state governments, and our public schools.
The Establishment Clause used to apply to the only the federal government but another amendment required the Establishment Clause to be for all local governments and schools.
All this is wonderful except for one thing. Our Christian assholes. These morons for Jeebus are not just evolution deniers. They are also Establishment Clause deniers.
Why? It's because they're too fucking dense to understand simple things and/or they're stupid fucking assholes who want to make America a theocracy like Iran.
These assholes for Jeebus always lose in court. They are never allowed to get away with anything but sometimes there are still problems.
For example the title of this post: IN LEPRECHAUNS WE TRUST
As everyone who isn't an idiot knows, leprechauns and magic god fairies are equal, equally ridiculous and equally impossible.
Now I have finally reached the reason for this post. It's our money. I'm looking at a one dollar bill. Everything looks nice. There is a picture of George Washington, our first president who also did more than anyone else to defeat the British in our Revolutionary War who by the way are now our best friends and always will be our best friends. Most Americans including me love the United Kingdom.
I'm still looking at my one dollar bill. It has lots of stuff besides George Washington including the word "ONE DOLLAR" and "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA".
By the way one of our most dense presidents, George W. Bush aka "George W" said that George Washington was also called "George W".
My one dollar bill also has the words "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private."
So far so good. Nothing to complain about. Nothing stupid.
I am now looking at the back side of my precious one dollar bill. It still looks normal except for one very strange thing.
"IN GOD WE TRUST"
This of course is a violation of our Establishment Clause but every attempt to get the Supreme Court to throw it out has failed. We are stuck with this childish fantasy on our money.
Perhaps this is not a big deal. Money is mostly obsolete these days. I never carry cash with me. I use my credit card for everything I buy. Not everyone got the memo but eventually nobody will have cash which is a primitive invention we don't need anymore.
But for me the In-God-We-Trust bullshit is a big deal. It makes our country a laughing stock. It doesn't help much when the President of the United States says "God bless America". As if the magical master of the entire universe thinks this country on this little planet is a big fucking deal.
One more thing: One of the many reasons I'm a big fan of the UK is they have Charles Darwin on their £10 note. They have recently decided to throw out the most important person who ever lived and replace him with somebody else. This is not a good thing.
