A federal district court ruled Tuesday to uphold the Constitution of the United States. You know. That thing you rant on and on and on about when you claim it supports your right to own guns (outside a militia) and give lip service to when you need to oppose Obama in some way.

I think this is definitely a proper manifestation of separation of church and state. The state should not sponsor any religious advertisement.

Imagine people with Muslim, atheist, Wiccan, etc. messages, so it becomes either a popularity contest or what is more likely, a strong source of peer pressure and new way to ostracize "others". No one is stopping anyone from placing other religious messages on their vehicles. -

There is an element of self-refferent humor to all of this.

I thought it was the Pharisees who displayed their religion prominently for all to behold, and did their good works "to be seen of men."
Maybe the license plate should read "I believe, but do not understand."
