Man Wanted to Change Name to "In God We Trust"

Posted by Alex in Money & Finance on May 4, 2008 at 1:03 am


School bus driver and amateur artist Steve Kreuscher of Zion, Chicago, wanted to change his name legally to "In God We Trust":

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

Kreuscher also told the Daily Herald that he’s worried that atheists may be successful in having the phrase "In God We Trust" removed from U.S. currency.

Would his first name be In? Link

    And yet if I were to change my name to In Satan We Trust I'd probably be subjected to all manner of ridicule, torture, and maybe worse from the Christian zealots out there foaming at the mouth and undulating before their cross for Jebus.

    "Kreuscher also told the Daily Herald that he’s worried that atheists may be successful in having the phrase "In God We Trust" removed from U.S. currency."

    Inshallah, yes.

    Well, I can certainly see why he's worried, when we hear comments like these.
    Although, at least bean's comment was funny.

    Those who worship the devil are obviously much worse off than the Atheists here. They're practically a cult of devil worshipers; doesn't that have a nice ring to it? Haha.

    I think he'd ridiculed by Xtians and Atheists alike for his poor decision making when choosing a new name. Finally something they can come together on :)

    So, if he has a daughter later on, would she be Miss Trust?

    So what would be his first name? What would you call him? "In"? "In God?" Wouldn't being called God kinda go against Christian doctrine or something? Being called God is kinda like worshiping false idols or something?

    First name In God, last name We Trust. I heard about this yesterday on Chicago AM radio. He's a "budding artist" and wants to sign his work "In God We Trust" Not entirely sure why he can't just do that anyway.

    In God we trust"..?

    And there was me thinking for all these years that the words on Merkin money were 'In Gold we trust'.

    **slaps forehead...**

    Another illusion shattered.

    Minor nitpick: Zion is in Illinois, not in Chicago.

    Not that I mind having the whole state considered as Chicago's back yard. ;-)

    It's still not as bad as that deaf artist named "Tomato".

    He should change his name to Ingo D Wetrust
