South Carolina license plates - issue with separation of church and state?!

Yes, separation of church and state. It is illegal for the state and/or government to promote religion anyway, much less cater to just ONE. I should see if I can find an update to this, this happened 6 months ago.

Yes, I'm pretty sure there is a law on that. Please post it if you should come acrossed it. I recall there was a whole controversy about it, because there was talk about taking In God We Trust off of the money and something to do with a plaque on a building. I'm not sure if it was a court house or what but had to do with the same senario. They should just leave well enough alone, afterall, all the changes that are going on right now with this country has not turned out for the better.

Why do you have to put your religion on your license plate frame?

I am sorry but this is almost akin to introducing yourself and instead of stopping there, adding a whole list such as - I'm married and I'm straight - or some such nonsense. What is the point of proclaiming something that doesn't need announcing? I don't generally ask what religion anybody is, I don't really feel that's something I need to know unless that person judges ME because I don't share it.

Here is the basic information: COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A group that advocates separation of church and state filed a federal lawsuit Thursday to prevent South Carolina from becoming the first state to create "I Believe" license plates. The group contends that South Carolina's government is endorsing Christianity by allowing the plates, which would include a cross superimposed on a stained glass window. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for South Carolina, asks a judge to stop the state from making the plates and rule that the law allowing them violates the First Amendment. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/R/RELIGIOUS_LICENSE_PLATE?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2008-06-19-19-27-27 (entire story) I am sorry this was not included in the original post. I meant to include this but last night I still could not c&p, I must've been attacked by a mylot post count gremlin. I feel this is not okay to embrace or allow for ONE religion, and also, there is the separation of church and state. Somebody in another thread mentioned that it was instituted to protect the church from the government, but what about protecting other people who are not religious from it? Just something to think about. It always tends to be a hot button, that's for sure. I was watching news reports on this for awhile.

I was actually thinking if such a thing were ever to pass where it was okay, then I would probably just avoid people who decided it was a great idea to put on their cars. I wouldn't want somebody to hit me, they might try to sue ME. LOL!

I agree. I believe this is the point of the whole lawsuit - it is not fair to show support to one religion separately. Better to stay out of it entirely is my guess.
