New Florida License Plate: Christ Dying on the Cross



No one could have predicted how some people might find this license plate featuring Jesus Christ dying on the cross to be questionable from a separation of church and state perspective:
Florida Governor Charlie Crist laid out these pearls of wisdom on the Jesus Plate issue:

Asked about whether he'd veto the legislation, Crist said no way.

"I would not veto those .... No, I would not," Crist said.

So you don't have a problem with Jesus on a license plate?

Crist: "I don’t. No."

What about separation of church and state?

Crist: “If they don’t want one they don’t have to buy one.”

Is that state endorsement of religion?

"I think it ... What's it say? 'In God We Trust' on every single piece of monetary, coins and paper we have? I think it’s fine."
