I live in Indiana I think the “god” plate is such a load of crap. One thing I like to do is try to look for the regular plates. I know those people made a choice not to pick the “god” plate just like me.

Well, you can’t get a NO GODS license in Virginia. But that’s only because I already have it.

We should get an atheist license plate club together to connect with those of us across the country.

We live in Ohio and I see the offensive “in god we trust” plates almost every day. I would love to see one that reads “NO GODS” on the “In God We Trust” plate!

My 10 year old was reading over my shoulder and said it was offensive. I didn’t tell her whether I thought she was wrong or right, but pointed out that the same state has license plate that says “In God We Trust”.

She said that was offensive too.

How would ‘In Allah we Trust’ go down? After all it is the *same* god!

My only worry is that owners of such cars will find them defaced by supposedly superior people of faith.

It’s not merely a question of whether someone might consider Jason’s plate to be offensive; it’s whether this offense is the response of a reasonable, objective person–i.e., if that offense is objective and based on reason. The language of the regulation makes this clear. The onus is on the BMV, I think, to show WHY offense to Jason’s plate is reasonable; and appeals to the Christian majority in the state won’t cut it, unless we assume by default their beliefs are reasonable and objective.

Go get ‘em Jason! Tear them a new one! They haven’t a legal leg to stand on. Make them admit it. This is another case of poor undereducated fools confusing “decency” with “Christianity”. We have to educate them.
