Man asks court to change his name to 'In God We Trust'

[wtmusic]

Steve Kreuscher wants a judge to allow him to legally change his name. He wants to be known as "In God We Trust."

Kreuscher says the new name would symbolize the help God gave him through tough times.

The 57-year-old man also told the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald he's worried that atheists may succeed in removing the phrase "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency.

That's great Steve, but around here you'll always be known as plain old "Nutcase".

1. I guess "Rightwing Nutjob" was already taken.

[Skittles]

2. "Sanctimonious Piece of Shit" too n/t

3. Why doesn't he just name himself "I Am A Complete Lunatic"?

Because that's what people are gonna think of him...........

5. I see. If we don't announce our trust in God on our money God will be

offended? I kinda thought the opposite might be true...

6. breaking news......

Steve Kreuscher, who has gained attention for wanting to change his name to "In God We Trust", has had his petition approved by a district judge today. Unfortunately, his application was difficult to read, so from here on out Steve shall be known as "In Gorp We Trust." Gorp was unavailable for comment later, but his wife, Mary Magdalame, said she was proud of her husband irregardless, "Sometimes, if he eats too fast, he makes this high pitched wheezing sound that sounds just like Gorp. Praise Jesus!"

7. well, he is from ZION

"He recalls that the phrase "God Reigns" was removed from the Zion city seal in 1992 after courts deemed it unconstitutional. Zion was founded as a theocracy — by a sect that believed the Earth was flat.

"The school bus driver and amateur artist in the northern Chicago suburb says he has filed a petition to change his name in Lake County Circuit Court

8. In God We Trust -

No doubt, that's how the moneychangers in the temple advertised for themselves, too.

I wonder if this guy even knows how that turned out.

10. what ... he can't spell "I am a Moron"?

11. It's a gimmick.

He thinks if he changes his name to "In God We Trust" that he can take everyone's money (since it will have his name on it). But I'm gonna beat him to the punch. I'm changing my name to the eye on the dollar bill:
