Not my usual kind of post but while reading the iPad version of my hometown paper - Tallahassee Democrat - and then seeing the print edition of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle (both are Gannett papers), I saw both had full page ads proclaiming "In God We Trust". Surrounding this centerpiece were various quotes over the centuries of US history starting with George and running thru other notables in other branches of government and from other institutions and ending with scripture.
The gist of it is that we are a Christian nation with a government based on a belief in Jesus as opposed to this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
Not to offend my Christian brethren and knocking no one beliefs, but I prefer the separation of church and state since mixing in religion with secular affairs only causes trouble whether among us or around the world.
Anyways I am curious how many other papers got this ad this morning. Here's a list of Gannett papers if it was just Gannett, or has anyone else seen it in their local daily? Or was it just in papers that have a Hobby Lobby?
Here is the Hobby Lobby ad
