South Carolina to Offer Cross on Car Plates
South Carolina drivers will be the first in the nation to be offered license plates that carry the phrase “I Believe” and a Christian cross over a stained-glass window under a law that took effect on Thursday.

What is WRONG with you people!?

1. I still think the plate is perfect
when paired with a bumper sticker right below it:

I BELIEVE:
in the flying spaghetti monster
that hate is not a family value
that this is the stupidest license plate ever
that religion is dangerous

Add your own. This is going to bite Mark Sanford in the ass. Big time.

2. Didn't Florida already do this?
I seem to remember Colbert doing a segment on it.

3. 2 problems I have with this: if it was a religion other than Xianity, probably a person couldn't
get a personalized plate.

2-"Don't tell me you're a Christian, show me by your behavior."

6. If you are smart, good pretty , whatever....
Do you have to parade it and polish the dickens out of it. Your actions and personality will tell the whole planet, whether or not you believe there is a power that is bigger than you are. This makes me so sick. I don't trust peopl like that. I see danger no matter what they parade in my face. I love South Carolina,and I hope they don't show such poor taste. I wonder who came up with this idea !

4. a compromise
Edited on Mon Jun-30-08 03:00 PM by SCantiGOP
and it won't even require any new legislation. Every car has the means to attach a tag to the front bumper. Keep your religion out of my government, and you can make a tag and put anything you want on the front bumper, or on the back bumper with a sticker. Something like "I believe and everybody who doesn't is going to hell." In fact, if anybody tried to stop you from doing that, part of my ACLU dues will go towards defending you.
