Jackson, Mississippi (AP) —Four words on the Mississippi license plate have triggered a federal proceeding.

An American atheist, the Mississippi Humanist Association, and three non-religious state residents filed a proceeding against the state on Tuesday over the “In God We Trust” license plate. The complaint alleges that the Mississippi Revenue Director violated people’s freedom of speech and religion by forcing them to display religious messages on their cars.

I hope the license plate has a good attorney.

For cryin’ out loud...enough already.

I am so sick of these a$$holes.

He should start turning over all his money then because ....

[Right Wing Vegan]

Indeed. lolz

So I suppose they are against dollar bills?

[proud American in Canada]

Exactly.

[nickcarraway]

Do people have standing to sue an inanimate object?

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

What is he going to pay his attorney with or hasn’t he looked at our currency. In fact, has he paid for anything ever? I mean even the dole pays out in “In God We Trust” Dollars.

What a complete a-hole.

[SkyDancer]

A judge should ask him to empty his wallet of any US currency and any change he has, then proceed with his nonsensical lawsuit.

This type of action was such a fad in the 90s, and resolved against the view that it’s an establishment clause violation. This is going nowhere and this joker will just have to learn to live with the excruciating pain

“The government should not be able to order me to display a message that goes against my beliefs.”

Unless it’s on a wedding cake, then I’m fine with it.

[Lurkinanloomin]

It’s our national motto, it’s on the money, for Pete’s sake.

[TigersEye]

May his pain be deep and enduring. :)

Don't worry, world. Don't want to believe in God and His Messiah? Satan will send you his anti-messiah since he's serving as "god of this world" until the Second Coming of Christ. Wouldn't surprise me if "In God We Trust" eventually gets removed.

An atheist walk into a bar and is offended by the spirits.

[SaveFerris]

yep

[Crim]

Right...but forcing one to accept and affirm the message of “racial equity experts”that all Whites are racist and enjoy perks of white privilege from systemically racist institutions created my white supremacists....

Is being defended as free speech...

Assclowns...

[Crim]

Wait a minute...the words arent even ON the plate....they are included in the seal.of the united states in the background...

Talk about frivolous.

I guess he replaced David Silverman.
