… to wear a profession of the generic state religion on my ass?
As a person of faith, I am happy to live in a country that at least pays some lip service to the freedom every citizen has to express their faith — or not.
Here in Indiana we’re given a choice of automobile license plate designs, one of which includes the phrase “In God We Trust” in a patriotic red white and blue theme. Treesh and I chose the plain blue “Standard Car” plate with white lettering on a plain blue background.
Our plate arrived in the mail today and darned if they didn’t send us the IGWT plate! Somebody messed up, or else the state really wants us to be making faith statements via fanny wherever we go.
Hopefully this will be an easy matter to resolve when we go to our local licensing bureau tomorrow morning.
Thankfully the bureau was willing to swap the license plate, no questions asked. (Although that woman in the German Baptist garb was giving me the stone-faced stare the whole time.)
