Bob, this is precisely the kind of self-righteous rhetoric that turns people away from church and Christianity. I am pretty certain of that because I know such people, myself among them. I am aware that it (probably) comes from the Bible itself, but that doesn’t make it any better.

On the topic, though… Is anybody petitioning for FSM license plates?

“It is clear to me that the enemy of Christianity are the Christians.”

They didn’t nix the “666″ plates from pool, which I think is hilarious. I’ve seen a few out and about, but not yet have I seen the IM 4666.

Also, you can decorate your plate however you wish so long as it does not obstruct the plate number, expiration, or other tags. You could make a nice little sticker (the plates no worky with magnets) to cover up that little IGWT if you don’t like it. If you do, I’d suggest you don’t park it in the Wal*Mart parking lot.

Besides it certainly a lot better looking than our other regular issue plate, which is very, very boring looking.

I’m quite offended at this McCarthyism gone mad syndrome we’re currently into in this country. These religious knuckleheads need to sell their homes and possessions, and totally move into their chosen churches, and stay there. Hopefully there will be enough Kool-Aid for all of them to have seconds. Where’s Jim Jones when we need him ?

These MORONS don’t seem to remember Matthew 6: 5-6 from their own bibles. They want to shout religion from every high point, shove it in everyone’s faces, and cram it down everyone’s throats. Yet their main man tells them, in so many words, to keep it to themselves for themselves. A hypocrite by any other name, would not be.

I don’t call it “American Christianity”, I call it The New Theo-Fascism, Theo-Naziism, or Churchianity. Let us never forget the words of Sinclair Lewis.

what an idiot. does he know the “founders” started using the phrase “in god we trust” during the cold war?

It actually began appearing on the currency during the Civil War, but that was still long after all the “founders” were dead. It officially became the national motto in 1956. “E pluribus unum” had been a de facto motto up until then, although one never officially declared to be so in law by act of Congress.

I don’t know if he’s an idiot. He may be a political genius. Uneducated, perhaps — his “advanced degree” is from the Reppart School of Auctioneering.

Yes I am an angry Christian. It is this “American Christianity” that has hurt the church more than anything since the inquisition

Drop Mr. Burton a line at h58@IN.gov and let him know what you think. Of course if you’re not a constituent, he may not care what you think.

Seeing the ‘In God We Trust’ license plate come to life is a momentous occasion for everyone involved. The symbolism portrayed by the American Flag displays our loyalty to the United States and the words of our founding fathers. It is my hope that thousands of Hoosiers will choose this plate and display it proudly.
