good stuff , thanks for posting . <| sep |> Well they have had older portrayals than just the 2000 ' s cartoon . <| sep |> Because it is unconstitutional for state officials to assert their subjective opinion as a reason to approve personalized plates with a particular religious point of view and deny personalized plates with a different religious point of view that they , as adherents to a particular religion , find offensive to their or others ' religious beliefs . Once again there is no religion that says that guy is a god . He didn ' t request that plate to demonstrate his religious beliefs , he did it to spite Christians and was justly turned down . Don ' t try to pass it off as Christianity being favored over other religions because none of them have anything to do with the matter . He knowingly and deliberately ordered a controversial , offensive plate and got turned down . The same way the state wouldn ' t grant a request to a Muslims suck license plate . You ' re being stupid on purpose now . Private citizens can be offended by whatever they want but people acting as agents of the state are bound by law to put their personal feelings aside and to be objective . The plate was objectively offensive to Christians . This is why it was turned down . No second opinion on that . That ' s why Kim Davis got into trouble for , acting as an agent of the state , putting her personal religious beliefs above the law when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples after marriage equality became the law of the land . Completely different situation . She refused to do something which she was obligated to do in her position as a government official . In this case KY is not obligated to grant your request for a plate which they deem offensive . Just as the state won ' t let you register your newborn child as Shitstain . You are just trying to find loopholes in the law to shove your opinion and political statement in . Besides law there is also common sense . The state won ' t have you do things which will harm it or other people even if technically they are legal . For further reference , see this . The First Amendment states that the state can not prosecute you for expressing your opinion . It doesn ' t force the state to help you in expressing your opinion . It would be a breach of the First Amendment if KY prosecuted the guy for the plate . The First Amendment doesn ' t imply that the state is obligated to provide you with a platform to express your ideas publicly .
