Florida And The National Endowment For The Arts

Florida seems to have two new license plates with a picture of Jesus on them. Some people think this violates the separation between church and state. I think it is merely blasphemous and violates every decent religious sentiment.
The very fact that the freezing up of the credit system and near destruction of the economy - the nearest modern day parallel to the Tower of Babel story - occurred as recently as 8 months ago, might make less frivolous blasphemers to tread softly when it comes to showing respect for God. Driving through the mud, the slush, the salt, the dirt and the grime, not to mention road kill and other things, some good conservatives want to make sure their pantomime god gets his share. Why don't they throw offal in church, thereby saving the rest of us from having to look at their art work? If The National Endowment for the Arts had sponsored this, there would be an outcry.
This society once again proves that a large part of it is pagan, not Christian. The very clever Governor says that if someone does not like the new plates, they need not buy them...only look at them being profaned!

Go, Jesus! Where else but Florida? We lived in Tampa for 13 years. There are more nuts per acre there than anywhere else, including California. Maybe it's something in the water.
