(In response to story "Sign Maker Offers ‘In God We Trust’ Patrol Car Decals to Police Officers Nationwide")
In my opinion, anybody who has a job requiring them to put their life on the line day in and day out can put whatever religious message they want on their vehicle if it helps them to do their job successfully and brings them comfort.
And only selfish and agenda driven liberal cry babies who don't give a damn about the safety and well being of these people would ever be so shameful to take issue with it.
Freedom is freedom. And that means we all have the right to BE offended by someone else's contrary beliefs, actions and speech to our own.
And then you suck it up and move along.

Pagan officers can put big pentagrams on their patrol vehicles? Cool.
How about "Ia! Cthulhu lives!" Or "Catholics rule, Protestants drool!" Or "Thor carries a hammer, Jesus died on a stick, you choose!"
The Last Trump: "In my opinion, anybody who has a job requiring them to put their life on the line day in and day out can put whatever religious message they want on their vehicle if it helps them to do their job successfully and brings them comfort."
Other Person: "What if the religious message they want on their vehicle is non-Christian?"
The Last Trump (smug grin): "They'd soon get killed on the job and go to hell, having brought God's wrath down on them!"
"In my opinion, anybody who has a job requiring them to put their life on the line day in and day out can put whatever religious message they want on their vehicle if it helps them to do their job successfully and brings them comfort. "
So it's OK to put 'In Allah we trust' on a patrol car? Or will you selfish and agenda driven fundie cry babies who don't give a damn about the safety and well being of these people shamefully take issue with it.

What if an atheist cop would write “There is no God” on his car? What about cops who follow Satanism? What if two cops share a car, but have different religions?
Wouldn’t it just be easier to just not put any such messages on government property?

And.. there you go ruining it.
If the patrolman who drives that car is sworn to protect the PUBLIC, he shouldn't put a message on there that implies that he values the Christian part of the public more highly. There, is that simple enough for you to comprehend?
Question: Are they putting them inside or outside the car? If it's the former, have at it, if the latter, no.
The police, of all people who work for the government, should be as impartial as they possibly can. If, for example, one of us caught a policeman with 'In God We Trust' on their car, well, reactions would range from derision to fear. It's officer of the law, not anything else.
Question: Do those same police officers own those cars they drive?
Because if your answer is the only one possible, then I'm afraid the only ones who'll be crying like babies after the resulting court case bitchslaps those responsible for this contravention of the Establishment Clause, will be you , The Last Fart.
It's a shame that you don't practice what you preach then, because you have devoted much of your time to outraged rants against those that air opinions, facts, and scientific theories that differ to yours. If you were honest about your intentions you'd be open to criticising those that vandalise atheist billboards, bully atheist staff, and whine about your dogma not taking precedence over reason. You won't though, hypocrite.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
