Federal Judge Nixes 'In God We Trust' Lawsuit

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A federal judge on Monday rejected a lawsuit from an atheist who said having the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins and dollar bills violated his First Amendment rights.

U.S. District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. said the minted words amounted to a secular national slogan that did not trample on Michael Newdow's avowed religious views.

Newdow, a Sacramento doctor and lawyer, also is engaged in an ongoing effort to have the Pledge of Allegiance banned from public schools because it contains the words "under God."

Since the discovery of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, Americans have intensely debated the extent to which torture is, or should be, used to gain information from enemy combatants.

But Christians must ask questions beyond the legal and constitutional issues. To what extent can Christians accept torture—even as military defense?

There are no simple answers, but CT has directly addressed those questions in our February 2006 cover story. More articles on Abu Ghraib, prison brutality, and other criminal justice issues are also available below."
