Does this imply Virginia is Godless?


Virginia's actual motto is "Sic semper tyrannis". What's more tyrannical than an omnipotent being that will condemn you to eternal torment if you don't worship them and follow their laws.


Virginia and Massachusetts have surprisingly aggressive mottoes (MA is: "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty", which is really just a fancy way of saying "don't make me stab a tyrant," if you think about it). It probably makes sense, though, given that they came up with them during the revolutionary war.


I think I should add state motto to my data center consideration matrix.


I mean, most people are okay with dogs and Seattle.


Maybe virginia is for lovers, ohio is for God/gods?
