Religiously themed license plates?

[Msterbeau]

We haven't had a good religious flame war in a bit so:

Make them with every other religious belief (Including atheism) and I'll be fine with it.

Actually... I won't. Plates are getting unrecognizable anymore. Isn't that part of the point?

[hunhee]

o0o0 I want a Church of the FSM on my license plate.. plz!!!!

[Shade Everdark]

I say no because they're ugly and tacky, and for the reason Marc state above.

One could make a much stronger case for them if they at least included some of the other major religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism. But they didn't, and they won't, because they're stupid.

The only thing that remains to be seen is whether they will actually 'get away with it'.

[hunhee]

I've seen some of these tho, from other states, not Michigan, and it looks like to me they're getting away with it.. or do you mean.. for the long haul?

I thought people had bumper stickers and other such ridiculous stuff like that to show off their religious shit..why they gotta be hittin' the plates?

[Raev]

While it's not religious, per se - did you know you can get Freemason license plates in Michigan?

What would the atheism license plate say?

'Nuh-uh'?

And for goodness sake, do we really need more stuff on our license plates?

[creatureofthenyte]

lets make one that says Wiccan, and then drive it thru Utah just for grins.

My point exactly.

[pheramoans]

Isn't this why they make the Jesus Fish?

I oppose this for a different reason... Have you seen how many specialty Lic. Plates Florida has? It's stupid.

I got curious and searched Google Images for 'florida license plates'....that's insanity.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

It's a major revenue source though. Florida does not have state income tax.

I liked it when for YEARS we only had a dark blue background and white print on our license plates, and now we have all this other crap in Michigan. I think for state unity, we should stick to the plain colours again.

Individuality should be your car, or your bumper stickers or whatever, NOT something state funded/run.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Lic. plates are not state funded. hence them costing you so much.

I find it silly...that bumper stickers are no longer good enough...I realize you can't put them on a leased car...still silly.

[TygerLili]

I think it's cheesy looking, and I'd never get one, even if I was a Christian, but if someone else wants one, it's not hurting me. It's no worse than the stupid "Jesus is my co-pilot" bumper stickers and all that crap.

It's a fair point about making them for the other religions, but I imagine they would commission something if the demand were there.

I have a car magnet that says K2P2 and you'd think a magnet instead of a sticker would solve EVERYTHING, but that's when you find out that your car magnet won't stick to your car, because your car isn't actually made of metal.

Ack!!

[Homicidalheathen]

Mine is religiously themed...

In a sense.

I usually snicker when I see anything 'christian' and wonder how they got so dilusional...no one is going to save you from yourself.

But thats my view and I keep it to myself.

I am sure part of why I get tailgated and harrassed is my obvious NON Christain liscence plate.

thats exactly how Florida's system works. I can't remember howmany people you have to have wiliing to buy one.. but there is a minimum threshold of people that have to sign up to buy one before they will enact a law to create it.
