I'm confused. The article is written about a lawsuit in Kentucky, but the license plate in the photo was issued in Ohio. I probably am entitled to assume that Ohio issued a similar license plate to the plaintiff or someone else in Ohio, but good journalism would dictate that the article explain the difference. Then again, who has seen any good journalism of late?

SFC James Cameron - It isn't offensive to me unless it is being used to infringe upon the rights of me or other religions. If it is being used to enact laws that will restrict rights of others, then it is offensive to me. Not because I somehow hate something I don't think is real or believe in but that it is being used as a weapon or instrument to gain control over others.

1SG (Join to see) Well met, 1SG. I always wondered about that but never had an opportunity to ask in a setting where I thought would be appropriate.

I see Christianity at the brunt of a bit of hate and always thought Judaism and Islam never were mentioned for fear of the labels that others will throw out automatically on the derogatory mention of those two faiths.

SFC James Cameron I kept my Atheism to myself most of my military career. I usually keep to myself. If someone asks me I will tell them. I usually get a passive aggressive "bless your heart" or "well I will pray for you" or "but you are such a nice person" and that to me is offensive. I don't ask people their religion and then reply "well you don't have to be delusional you know" and things of that nature. However, I do reply in kind.

Capt Gregory Prickett Sir, I see that. I guess the different strokes for different folks attitude is dying. I certainly hope that I haven’t come across as antagonistic and do sincerely apologize if I have.
