WTF!!! And so many call equal rights 'special'... Why give 'special' plates to anyone? If this is acceptable then so is a religious symbol from any other religion... The state of Florida is full of old people who will die soon, just like their imposing of religion in the public realm. It is a private thing.

It's their cars they can put what they want on it.Christians are taking this country back again!

Florida has more than 100 specialty plates, with several new ones proposed this year. so what's another one??? no one is forcing them to buy them. if I read the article correctly, the money will go to charities

That statement makes about as much sense as Christianity does... Dream on!

There should be no government sponsored display of religion specific material.

I strongly disagree.At least 80% of this country is Christians.If you must insist on pretending as if we don't exist or have any influence in politics or government you are very wrong.As a matter of fact nothing would get passed unless the Christians approved of it.You liberals can say what you want.We have the majority,we vote on issues,and if that bothers you then thats too bad.When the liberals and Atheist have 51% of the make up in this country you can run this country any way you want.Until then either move or stop complaining!

I can't wait until I get mine.I hope I get stuck in a long traffic jam and a liberal Aethist has to look at my license plate for miles and miles. It seems to me the harder the liberals and Aethist try to take Christianity out of the government the more they are getting put back in. GOD BLESS AMERICA! That's too funny, wishing yourself into a traffic jam when most would wish to get to their destination. If I was behind you, I would be reading a book I bring with me for just such occasions. Specialty plates are just an extension of the ego behind the wheel, who cares except those on the same trip. Your way too paranoid. That would be like others saying I can't wait for my atheist plate so I can sit in traffic and piss off Christians. Who does that? Few I would imagine, that have a life anyway. Very strange. I can just see you sitting there looking around to see who was viewing your plate.. That's just too funny, thanks for the early morning giggle.

There should be no government sponsored display of religion specific material. I agree. it is not govt sponsored it is available at an extra cost if you want specialty plate for something and can show enough demad for it you will get it as well it is no different than getting an ohio state plate in ohio not everyone in ohio is an ohio state fan the part that everyone seems to forget is ***(nor prohibit the exercise there of)* excerpt from 1st amendment referring to religion** it is a way to earn money and the state is making a profit off of the plate just as they do with any specialty plate and they need the money so make your specialty plate design and circulate a petition to have it become available that is how it works after all if they sell 30,000 specialty plates and make 20$ each 600k$ is a good lil boost to the budget

You're talking to me? I'm a Christian. That doesn't mean that I have the right to tell someone of a different religion what to do. I'm for equality - not majority.

If all religious icons/idols are not allowed - yay if all religious icons/idols are allowed - yay but to put just one out there - yikes maybe there has not been enough interest shown in other religions yet after all it is about the money if you have thousands of muslims request a specialty plate then they will be available the fact is christianity is the largest organized religion at this point it is only logical it would be the first to come forth with such a thing as with the ohio state plate in ohio many ohio state fans enough to make it profitable ---- i have not seen an akron university plate [and i went to one of their campuses](must not be enough to make it profitable yet)

As the government is making money off of the tags, they in fact are sponsoring it and promoting it (jmo) - Keep in mind that most people do enjoy the snowball effect.
