Thoughts on Florida's Newest Vanity Plate

[Lynnie]

This all makes perfect sense. Just about everyone who will purchase this plate is likely a defender of government sponsored torture so why not display a man being tortured on your vehicle.

Good point - still don't digg it, though.

Well, it looks like some common sense has come into play....
So long to Jesus plate, part 1

Interestingly, the proceeds are to go to the Toomey Foundation for the Natural Sciences. Their mission:

The purpose of the Toomey Foundation is to promote the acquisition, protection, and study of scientifically important land and environmental resources. The primary focus of the endeavor shall be in the fields of Archeology, Astronomy, Botany, Geology, and Paleontology.

To help achieve the mission of the of the Foundation, scientific grants will be made periodically to researchers in the fields of Archeology, Astronomy, Botany, Geology, and Paleontology as funding becomes available. These grants will be made on a case by case basis upon application to the foundation when adequate funding exists. Applications for grants must be shown to have educational value and may be funded in whole or in part.

There are several Toomeys on the board of directors of this organization. I wonder if it's affliated with the Club for Growth? The sciences seems like an odd thing to make a Trinity plate to benefit a natural sciences non-profit.

If you look at most of their grants, they go to a man named Bruce J. McFadden. If you google McFadden, you find his writing pops up in creationism.com and he is cited in a book called "Icons of Evolution" which attempts to discount all scientific evidence of evolution.

I hope that Muslims don't start rear-ending (that might sound dirty to some Muslims) people with Jesus tags.

This license plate looks even uglier today.

Seriously, some of the greatest artists in the history of the world have Jesus as their subject and that tacky cartoon was the best we could do?

Looking more closely at the Jesus on that plate, he looks BALD! This is the first portrait of a bald Jesus which I've seen.

Thank God Jesus has a sense of humor!

Nothing says "The Sunshine State" like a crucified Jesus!

:funn:

I think you meant...Sonshine State!

Yes, Lynnie...Jesus has a great sense of humor. I know that because I look in the mirror each morning!

He does look bald. His head looks like a butt, to boot!
