We have only God on our side they have 'In God We Trust' on their side.

We have only God on our side they have 'In God We Trust' on

Summary

This quote suggests that while "we" may only have God as our support or assurance, "they" have the phrase "In God We Trust" inscribed on their side. It signifies a contrast between personal reliance on God and a more external representation of faith. The quote may prompt reflection on the idea that while trust in God is fundamental, faith can also be embodied in symbols or institutions.

The matter on which I judge people is their willingness, or ability, to handle contradiction. Thus Paine was better than Burke when it came to the principle of the French revolution, but Burke did and said magnificent things when it came to Ireland, India and America. One of them was in some ways a revolutionary conservative and the other was a conservative revolutionary. It's important to try and contain multitudes. One of my influences was Dr Israel Shahak, a tremendously brave Israeli humanist who had no faith in collectivist change but took a Spinozist line on the importance of individuals. Gore Vidal's admirers, of whom I used to be one and to some extent remain one, hardly notice that his essential critique of America is based on Lindbergh and 'America First' the most conservative position available.
