Allegheny County Pennsylvania Against In God We Trust

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Eight members of the Allegheny County Pennsylvania county council do not want God in their county.

Eight Democratic Party members of the council voted against a display that would have included “In God We Trust” as part of the display.  The national motto was to be included on the display with the Pennsylvania state motto of “Virtue, Liberty and Independence” and the one of the currency mottos, “E Pluribus Unum.”

The virulent anti-Christian group Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to the council threatening the county because of the potential measure.  Democratic County Executive Rich Fitzgerald also openly has an anti-Christian attitude.

“[It’s] a movement by the right-wing evangelical Christians across the country basically to impose Christianity,” Fitzgerald said.

“You should tell the county executive he should get educated on the national motto,” Pennsylvania Rep. Rick Saccone told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “It’s their ignorance that causes them to fear having God in a government place. They shouldn’t fear the name of God or the word ‘God’ in our government.”
