I'm ambivalent about this.

On the one hand, it's a voluntary plate: you only get it if you want it enough to pay extra for it. So who cares?

But if they're going to offer a Christian plate, they should also offer a Jewish plate, a Muslim plate, etc., so as to avoid charges of favoring a particular religion.

And then, of course, there's the hypocrisy of the plate's sponsor:

Given all that, my response tends to be "Why?" Florida lawmakers ought to have much better things to waste time on.

I agree that it seems to be a waste of time. If they are going to do that plate I have some other suggestions.

Who gives a crap - For those who don't care what you believe or don't
I'm #1 - For those who have a bloated self-ego
We suck - For Tampa Bay Rays fans
We suck too - For Miami Dolphins fans
I inhaled - For Ricky Williams fans

I'm sure we will get some other quality ideas.

I dunno, seems to me the $25.00 fee for a "Christian" plate is better served by a donation to the needy.

They shouldn't offer it unless they're willing to offer plates on demand for all other "religions".

Mods, please delete, the above.

I've been a pain in the patoot today w/ all these requests haven't I?

I don't want to be hunted down and killed on the roads in case I've upset someone in here.

No prob, Herk. I'll let you know when you become a real pain.

I believe the purpose of specialty plates is to make money for the state. They need to be able to sell a certain number of them to make it worthwhile. That's why they might have a college plate for the big colleges but not for the small ones. If they can sell enough atheist/Jewish/Muslim plates, they should offer those too. Then again, I don't see it as promoting religion. I see it purely as a potential moneymaker.

My plates have a horse on them. I wanted a bunny. No fair!

It reads "SZL-53J"

I didn't want anyone to know I was one of those people who paid for personalized plates.

I wouldn't call it a waste of time any more than other vanity plates. It's a way for the state to make money. But agree they should offer plates of other religions.

Isn't liscence plates a free market?

Let them produce whatever little message they want. It's their God-given right to be a dork and tell the whole world they're Christian, athiest, gay, whatever...


It can't be no worse then those "my kids a scholar student" bumper stickers. I want to key the cars of those jackasses.


But I don't, because they might be prolife.
