With coins it's tough to do as you need to be careful to not bend the coin. I don't fool around though, I obliterate. <BR/> I used to be a catholic, then I was nothing, now I'm an athiest- but I'm not sure. :-)<BR/>KD AGkayakdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952331478837527446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-55104099979805799582007-09-19T08:15:00.000-04:002007-09-19T08:15:00.000-04:00If atheism is a religion, then not-collecting-stam...If atheism is a religion, then not-collecting-stamps is a hobby.<BR/><BR/>You are allowed to write on US currency, and not only to remove an offensive religious statement.

To an Atheist, belief without verifiable proof is simply absurd. There are two basic types of Atheists: Those who have an active disbelief, and those who simply have a lack of belief. To an Atheist, theism is theism. It doesn't matter if it is monotheism, polytheism, or henotheism. You will find however that most Atheists will be willing to reexamine their beliefs if presented with new information. I doubt however that it would pass the critical inquiry most Atheists demand. <BR/><BR/>To provide some background, I consider myself an Atheist.<BR/><BR/>On another note: If I remember correctly, under U.S. law (I'm a Canadian) the phrase "In God We Trust" can be obscured on a bill if the possessor finds it offensive. However, you are not allowed to alter the phrase in any way or write your own phrase on the bill.jarjar_headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019396208763592572noreply@blogger.com
