A rural Kansas town voted to remove 'In God We Trust' from police cars

A Haven, Kansas city council member correctly said the police department shouldn't have "In God We Trust" decals.

A rural Kansas town voted to remove “In God We Trust” from police cars​

A city council member correctly said the police department was no “forum to be talking about God.”

If you visit the Facebook page of the Haven Police Department in Kansas, which oversees a rural town just outside of Wichita, you might wonder if it was being run by a government agency or a local church. That’s because it posts things like this, promoting Christianity in overt ways:

Another post quotes Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

On top of all that, Police Chief Stephen Schaffer stuck “In God We Trust” decals on the department’s vehicles a few months ago:

The message is clear: If you’re a non-Christian in this community, they don’t care about you.

But last week, all of that changed.

Confusing. Seems like mixed messages to me.
 
Only 1 person probably complained, but that was enough for these spineless, overpaid elected pinheads to "act for the greater good of 'diversity'".

So then, you'd be all fine and good with "In (Allah, Satan, Odin, etc.) we trust" on all police cars? Your sincere and honest response will be appreciated.

First, good. Police cars are property of the citizenry in the community and if they want them painted a certain way they should be allowed to have that done.

Second the phrase In God we trust doesn't mean we only serve Christians. So the message absolutely is not that in this community if you're not in Christian, they don't care about you.

And God we trust is actually the official US motto.

And it means they place their trust and God not that you have to be trusting of God in order to be citizen those are two very different things.

The Kansas townsfolk should have replaced the slogan with, "In the rod we trust.". Spare the rod, spoil the peace?

Cheers and be beaten.

In God we trust is the national motto of the US.

It really has nothing to do with allegiance to a particular religion it is placing trust in God you don't have to believe in God but just because you don't doesn't mean that this country isn't for you.

What do you think Christian teachings are in regard to non-believers?

Excuse me, when a police department posts a 'he has risen' post, to which religion would that apply? Hinduism?

To me, christian teachings are bullshit slogans, they sound good but aren't practiced. Love thy neighbor as thyself, lol, good one.

Depending on who is using or wielding the teachings they can be a threat to non-believers.
