Short Link to this Quote:
This quote seems to be making a tongue-in-cheek comparison between God and money. “His leading competitor” likely refers to money, implying that for many people money has become a higher priority or more trusted entity than God.
By saying we print “In God We Trust” on the back of money (U.S. currency), James W. Miller is jokingly suggesting that not only has money become a “competitor” to God in how people place their trust, but that God’s message of trust is literally printed on the very symbol of people’s true allegiance, which in Miller’s view has become money above God for many.
The tone seems lighthearted but the quote aims to provoke thought on society’s priorities.
