LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - An atheist's request for a personalized license plate saying "IM GOD" was denied by the state of Kentucky, which said it might distract other drivers, and would be in bad taste.

Bennie Hart says that by announcing "IM GOD" on his license plate, he simply wants to show the impossibility of disproving anyone's claim to being "God."

Besides, Hart says, he had the same plate for a dozen years when he lived in Ohio, without causing any problems.

If he was God, he’d be able to get that request through no problem.

I can’t prove his negative, but he could prove he is.

My test. God is immortal and self-sustaining. We cause his body to cease living, and if he can bring himself back to life without any outside help, I will concede he is god.

Several years ago, I printed a bunch of bumper stickers on photographic paper cut into bumper sticker sizes after printing. Using these phrases for people who came too close for comfort in parking lots:

I HATE COPS!
I AM A FLAMING ASSHOLE
I AM A PORNSTAR!

If the clown wants to prove that he is a fool, don’t stand in his way...

If he is God, why doesn’t he create a moon or some stars to circle above his car? That would accomplish the same end.

Back in the mid 90s, me and a friend were in the outskirts of Rock Hill, SC and saw a semi with “Guaranteed Overnight Delivery” on the trailer.

The words were stacked G through D. It’s the only one I ever saw.

(1) Then he can go get an obnoxious bumper sticker that can say the same thing

(2) Bennie? As in Bennie and the Jets?

Some people just desperately want their car vandalized.

A friend of mine had a prank war going with another friend. He was driving around town and was getting all sorts dirty looks. At his next stop he found a magnetic bumper sticker on the back of his car that said "I (heart) gay porn."

Eventually a truce was called after a mail in request for the Book of Mormon. That was really hard to turn off.

Karma will settle the matter.

Nonsense.
GOD had us all planned out LONG before the rise of "karma." Now CARMEL will settle many things, carmel corn, carmel candy and such but karma is just "fate" and there is no such thing.

Don’t get lost in the weeds over terminology. We’re talking the same thing. Devine will.
