Zion man changes name to One Nation Under God
Aug 7, 2010
(WAUKEGAN) A Lake County judge on Friday approved a north suburban Zion man's petition to change his name to One Nation Under God.
Under God, formerly named In God We Trust and born with the name Steve Kreuscher, filed the petition June 1. He appeared before Associate Judge Helen Rozenberg last Friday for the hearing. She continued the matter for a week so she could think about it, Under God said.
"Last week, I really felt it (the name change) was going to go through," Under God said. "I'm relieved because it's been a long week of waiting."
Under God described his name change as a "calling" to return Americans to "One Nation Under God" by overturning the legalization of abortion.
"Jan. 22, 1973, is the day the nation murdered God," Under God said.
That is the date the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Roe v. Wade.
This is why Under God said he would not say the Pledge of Allegiance.
"I don't think we can as a nation, myself included. We don't have the right to the pledge until abortion is overturned," Under God said.
He called his two legal name changes "an artistic expression" of himself. He creates pieces of "mystic surrealism" and said he started signing his work with his new name starting July 4.
He said he has enjoyed watching people react to his name.
"I thought I was going to be teased a lot. Since my first name change (to In God We Trust), people started treating me with ultimate respect, like I was a minister or something," Under God said.
He said he plans to change his name a total of seven times. He is considering No Cross No Crown, Seven Seven Seven and Andgelical Zioneero for future name changes.
In two years, he said he will change his name to Thermado Zattersof. Unscrambled, these letters spell out the name of one of his pieces of art work.
"You'll have to work out which one," Under God said.
