If the U.S. officially declares “In God We Trust” on its currency, it recognizes God as the ultimate Creator. Logically, if man is a tool in God’s hands, then every “invention” or “creation” belongs to the Original Source, not the tool. Selling intellectual property without proving you aren’t just a divine instrument is essentially piracy—trading someone else’s property as your own. I’ve started a petition to demand a “God-denial disclaimer” for every IP transaction. If you want to own an idea, you must officially deny God first. Let’s clean our public spaces from “protected” corporate noise and return creativity to its true source.

    Oh don’t misunderstand me. I’m an atheist and think the idea of your god is ridiculous. I just think it’s even more ridiculous that a theocracy like the US could get tripped up and torn between its two favourite things: religiosity and property rights.

      Exactly! Whether you believe in God or not, you can’t deny the logical explosion here. The system tries to sit on two chairs: it uses ‘God’ for moral authority and ‘Property’ for profit.

      I’m just holding up a mirror. If they want their property rights to be absolute, they must officially admit that ‘In God We Trust’ is a lie. If they want to keep the motto, they must admit that ideas cannot be ‘owned’ by men.

      My goal is simple: To force the system to be honest for once. Even an atheist can appreciate the beauty of a self-destructing legal paradox!
