Michael Newdow – the Man who Ran from God

Michael Newdow is an atheist in San Francisco, who is apparently so determined to get as far from God as possible that he not only wants to remove the phrase “under God” from the pledge of allegiance, but now, wants to also remove it from United States’ currency.

A three-judge panel from that court was to hear arguments in the case on Tuesday. The same panel also was to hear arguments in Newdow’s case against the national motto, “In God We Trust.”

In 2005, Newdow sued Congress and several federal officials, arguing that making money with the motto on it violated the First Amendment clause requiring the separation of church and state.

Last year, a federal judge in Sacramento disagreed, saying the words did not violate Newdow’s atheism. Newdow appealed.

In case anyone has forgotten, this all started as a bitter custody battle between NewDow and a woman with whom he shares a child. (Also see WorldNetDaily – his daughter and her mother are Christian.)

Michael Newdow is worrying needlessly. If he remains on the path he’s treading, God won’t be where he’s going. Hat-tip to 1389, who added:
