Florida fundies want their own licence plate

Because nothing says "I'm not really speeding, officer. I'm just in a rush to get to the Rapture."

Religious specialty plates offered by Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, and Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, made it onto a bill Friday even though many members had not seen images of those plates and none were produced for the debate.

Does this mean, like for all religions?

Siplin didn't mince words when asked what his ''Trinity'' plate looks like, saying: ``It has a picture of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.''

It, along with a ''Preserving the Past'' plate offered by Siplin, would benefit the Toomey Foundation for the Natural Sciences.

Storms' ''I Believe'' plate would benefit Faith in Teaching, an Orlando company that funds faith-based programs at schools. The design features a cross over a stained-glass window.

Oh... right. Just that religion.

Several members had concerns about approving plates they had not seen.

Don't those members have any... faith in Storms and Siplin? It doesn't matter that nobody had seen it - Storm and Siplin haven't seen their god either.

Blue Gal puts it to the test.
