Florida Considers Christian License Plate

STATE BUMPER STICKER BACKERS SHOULD BEWARE OF WHAT THEY WISH FOR!
I love this shit!

In Florida, lawmakers are considering a new specialty license plate for cars. Usually reserved for University alums, or as a means to raise money and awareness of wild life preservation, Florida had already over stepped some boundaries by approving plates touting the pro lifers agenda. The sale of that plate, saying, "Choose Life", depicting a boy and a girl, benefits organizations that encourage women not to have abortions. Hmmm. I'd like to see the list of those agencies. The government as an agent for the collection of funds going to religious orgs just doesn't sit right with me.

Anyway, here is the proposed new plate:



Some people understand the Pandora's Box that this can open. Representative Kelly Skidmore voted against the proposal, in committee, saying that it is inappropriate. The problem is that Christian wackos feel that it's okay for their religion but have no thought, intention, or foresight, that other religions, or groups, may want to raise money and awareness through the use of State issued bumper stickers as well. They assume that any religion, other than Christian, would be not be appropriate.

The assumption of the USA as a "Christian" nation may have to give way to a different majority. Clinging to the "intent of The Founding Father's" must be challenged in a Democratic society. Especially one that was not founded by Europeans, but hijacked from Native Americans.

Here are some other proposals:

I Don't Believe

I Doubt It

I Used To Believe but I'm Better Now

I Occasionally Believe. (Every Time That My Ass Is In A Jam, I Pray Like a Mother Fucker)

Jihad Now

Sorcerers United

Lesbian Wiccans For More Lesbians


AIDS AWARENESS/EDUCATION:













Or, another good cause that could use State assisted fund collection:

I used to believe, but I'm better now! Thank you!!!!! I am so tired of the our way is the only way and if you're different you must be evil by my narrow-minded definition.

Good post. I am so offended by people thinking they have the right to foist their beliefs on me..... how about we have a "everybody's a lesbian for a day" day!?!?!?!?!

I'm torn. I occasionally believe, but Wiccans for more lesbians seems more useful in supporting the "agenda" ... what would sally kern say?

Love the proposals. "Occasionally" would work here, too. This is no slippery slope it's an effing cliff!

"I Believe I Don't Believe." Now that's one I could go for.

Fundamentalists could approve of the proposed "I Believe" plate, but that still leaves out a large number of Florida residents.
