License plates, special; issuance to those bearing national motto: 'In God We Trust.' (HB75)

This should be allow so those of us who claim God as the ONE should be able to express "In God We Trust". This country from the beginning is base on that statement. It doesn't take anything away from anybody else. As a country the government is slowly taking away the rights of freedom of religion from those in the country who claim to be Christians. We need to start speaking out.

Won't a bumper sticker do the trick?

We all have many ways to express ourselves without putting it on a license plate that gives implied government endorsement of religion. If VA approves this one, why not one that says "In Gods We Trust" or "Too Stupid to Understand Science? Try Religion." This bill is a slippery slope.

Though, to be fair, the whole of this license plate business is a slippery slope. The state should get out of the business of offering these kinds of plates. It's a lawsuit waiting to be lost. I just thought that Robin McGee's comment was goofy enough that it warranted addressing individually. The implication is that government, by failing to provide this license plate, is somehow preventing him/her from expressing a religious viewpoint. I also find very funny the idea of Christians as an oppressed minority in the U.S. :)

Wouldn't it be great if, some day, a Christian could openly run for office? If Christians were allowed to vote? Imagine how amazing it would be if a president could be sworn into office with one hand on the Bible. Or if a sitting politician would attend church. Envision a world in which every meeting of congress and the legislature—every day—started with a Christian prayer! Instead, Christians have to meet in secret. In public, police set attack dogs on them, blast them with firehoses, and force them to eat in the "Christians" section of Woolworth's. </sarcasm>
