Very true...a Christian
I've updated it to today's standards..I think it flows nicely:

Btw, that's Jesus speaking, not Paul.
It's a shame the people of the state of South Carolina will have to

There's also the matter of the LT. Governor providing the $4000 for the
Christian plates, and the Christian plate being the only one with words. If any
other belief systems got the exact same deal without any bias for OR against
them then I would have no problem with it.

Says who? This
I believe that political ambition is the PCP you're referring to. Religion

You could take comfort in the fact that the majority of religious people
can't be bothered with political activism.
