Anyone offended by that, no matter what their belief system, needs to seriously examine themselves.
To: Irontank
A Pierce County woman made the complaint, which reads in part: "I was offended that I have to be 'prayed over' by a license plate... What happened to keeping church and state separate?" If she was offended by the plate, she should be required to testify at the hearing as to what rights of hers were violated by the plate, and why she should have the right/power to restrict what another taxpayer can have on a vanity plate that the taxpayer paid extra taxes to have. If she cannot be bothered to testify at the hearing, then her complaint should be dismissed and the plate renewed.
To: Irontank
We tracked down the woman who lodged the complaint, and she declined an on-camera interview. She says frankly, she's dismayed the state didn't keep her complaint anonymous.
She's dismayed the state didn't keep her compliant anonymous, but I bet she'd be one of the first to be screaming if the state tried to keep some other data anonymous.

Since when does she "have to be 'prayed over' by a license plate". She doesn't have to do anything except go on her merry way and ignore it.

All License plates in Tennennesse say "In God We Trust" right on the bottom of the plate in great big letters that cannot be missed.

Assuming this person is a far leftist, then the far left is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Please God, let Howard Dean and his ilk keep up the "blame America first/I hate Christians/think everyone in flyover country is a moron" strategy.

But someone found the Bible verse offensive and now the state is deciding whether she can keep the plate. Shouldn't the state instead be deciding whether the "offended" party should be thrown out of the state?
To: Right Angler
I'm sick of all this "offended" B.S.!!!!!! I'm offended by hearing the F word in public, I'm offended by Howard Dean, I'm offended by athiests trying to tear down the fabric of our country...and on and on and on. But so what? People have a right to their opinions even if I don't like them. THAT'S LIFE!

Oh boy, one of those people that just go around waiting to be offended by something. I think they need to publish her name, home phone, and address so everyone can let her know how much she offended them by bringing up this complaint.

Don't you just love the "TOLERANCE" from these idiots? For all the preaching they (the looney left) do on tolerance, they are the most intolerant people I've ever experienced.
To: Right Angler
I agree. Going through this process is a waste of tax dollars, and, I think people should be able to put whatever they want on their lisence plates. I would prefer, of course, that no one chose that tacky route -- but who am I to say. I don't think this is a case of the state endorsing religion. To say so is crazy.

You ass. Never mind the "separation" BS, that's another issue. This is this PRIVATE WOMAN'S choice.

"...What happened to keeping church and state separate?..."
What does this have to do with keeping church and state separate? Even using the loosest of definitions, It's a 'VANITY plate' not a 'State Sponsored Message Plate'. If I had a plate that said 'FREEP LOVER' it would not mean that the state was endorsing a view that said Free Republic was a great site(Yeah I know, too many letters/characters but that's beside the point).
To: Irontank
"What happened to keeping church and state separate?"Two questions for this leftist troll:
Where in the Constitution does it say that there must be separation of church and state?
How would what someone has on their personalized license plate even come close to violating the nonexistant church-state separation law in the first place?
