Given God's track record, I cannot imagine why anyone would trust him/her/it. In fact, you'd have to be an absolute fool to do so.

Their new plate is much nicer. A flower illustration rather than having text that is unreadable unless viewed from 6 inches away. They should thank the atheists for helping them fix their dumb design

How much time before some fundie sue the state for getting "in god we thrust" back ?

I have to admit I like the new plate, it's a good design. That should be easy to read and very clear even from a distance in addition to getting rid of the problematic phrasing on the current plate, kudos to Eaton for a job well done.

My other comment is merely an observation. With Christianity's tendency to, shall we say, advertise everywhere a person could be forgiven for thinking that most Christians forget their faith and need regular reminders to stay on that path. Putting it on license plates for cars seems like another symptom of that same problem.

OT anyone else getting comments from Gabriel on the Arizona schools cut ties with Christian college article. “I’m tolerating the absurd lefties by loving the sinner and hating the sin.”

Looks like a child.

When even Alabama thinks he sucks...

"Ted Nugent's Alabama Concert Cancelled Over Public Outcry: 'Lose This Show or Lose My Business.'

Ted Nugent: Has-been scumbag. In listing his failings, they forgot his taste for young girls.

It’s good they changed it, but pointing out the change might bring out the crazies that are willing to go scorched earth over this. Like the folks who threaten school boards and town councils and other government organizations for dropping the pledge of allegiance or invocations or including LGBT or satanist groups. Not that I think we should hide, but the response to the violence has always been to acquiesce to their demands rather than holding them criminally liable for their criminal terroristic behavior.

I wouldn't put my trust in their imaginary fiend or its cult followers.

if you have enough trust in god, no need for seatbelts, no need for speed limits, no need for rules of the road, no need for pedestrian crossings. Now that's trust.

Mississippi did this? Did someone spike the fricken water supply with something that counteracted Jesus?

What? Did hell just freeze over? Maybe Donald Trump volunteered that he DID rape E. Jean Carroll and flip his plea to "guilty!" Must be one of those things, 'cuz who here would have thought that Mississippi would willing remove IGWT from their license plates. Ordinarily, not me.

But then, when you hit them in the wallet, THAT's when they listen!

OT - Kinda

In addition to the inherent racism and violence in the video, there is no policy discussed, and not even any bragging about Reeves’ record.

<snip>

Governor Reeves almost from the start of the coronavirus pandemic – due to policy choices he made – has one of the absolute worst records on COVID in the country.

Mississippi ranks 34th in population, yet was 18th in total cases per capita. It gets worse from there: Mississippi ranks third in deaths per capita.

<snip>

Under Tate’s leadership, Mississippi has suffered a huge health crisis. In September of 2020, the Mississippi Clarion Ledger revealed a “new report ranks Mississippi’s overall health care system dead last. ‘It’s an embarrassment,’ said one health expert.”

<snip>

In other areas, like education, Governor Reeves’ record is also bad. Mississippi, according to World Population Review, ranks 43 out of 50.

<snip>

“They are extreme. They are radical and vicious,” he said of Democrats and the “national liberal machine.”

“They believe welfare is success. They believe that taxes are good and businesses are bad. They think boys can be girls, that babies have no life, and that our state and our nation are racist.”
