Man asks court to change his name to 'In God We Trust' Sun May 4, 5:52 AM ET

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



Kreuscher (CROY'-shir) 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.

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.

2. Hey! I'm 57 too!

I'm not nearly as crazy as that guy though.

Well, maybe not anyway.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Well, no reason he shouldn't be able to do so.

Kinda stupid, if you ask me, but what the hell. So are names like Kasheeqa and J'Shawun and Water Wheel, or whatever fucking dumb names people are giving their kids nowadays.

It'd be kinda cool to go around with first name "In", I think.

5. I think with that 1st name your life would be a Stooges or Animaniacs rerun. nt

13. This stuff went on about 400 years ago IIRC

I seem to remember a few high profile folks named for snippets of scripture so what the hell why not a godly motto too.

If people want to make themselves into idiots for all to see why should we stop them? Saves time working it out.

hey idiot, don't worry about it. we'd need a reason-based culture, and that's been tossed out the window.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. Dumb.

He needs to be reminded constantly to believe in his invisible friends? how pathetic can you get.

A prime example of what a person without a proper education acts like. Moron.
