Who knew some bank stupid would come to this?
So, over on [info]stupid_free, [info]dwa20 posts about someone who doesn't seem to fathom how a bank account works. But that's not the wank. The wank begins when [info]albino_dinosaur says, "i will never ever ever ever understand using a debit card to make a $1 purchase." Well actually, it's not his/her's fault...it's the response by [info]hey_its_michael that gets things rolling:

"I dislike cash for a multitude of reasons (it's literally filthy, requires me to carry paper declaring a belief in the supernatural, and is inconvenient). I debit whenever I can, but carry cash for those times I cannot".

[info]anomie666 immediately goes on the attack:

"When meta-stupids attack!!

Your radical atheism is one of the reasons you don't carry cash!"

Thus begins a brawl between [info]hey_its_michael and [info]anomie666. The constitution is rammed up the ass sideways repeatedly discussed, the meaning of separation of church and state is argued, and Google is called upon to settle things. Small but tasty, I thought.

I think it refers to the fact that US money has 'In God We Trust' inscribed on it.

I clearly used to surf on CAPalert for too long. I immediately thought it was the "OMG! Pyramid with the eye is a masonic symbol! AWAY, SATAN AND YOUR EVIL MONEY!" but ... given that they're bringing up atheism, that makes a lot more sense.

Or maybe it's just the weirdest part of the dollar bill. ("In nonsense is strength." yo)

At first I thought it was some kind of strange reference to the fact that paper money technically 'represents' a particular amount of gold, but then what would that make debit cards, which represent cash which represents something else? Like, a meta-figment?
