Unbelievable

Christian Century, July 15, 2008

> UNBELIEVABLE: A bill has passed the South Carolina legislature authorizing the production of license plates with the phrase "I Believe" and picturing a Christian cross over a stained glass window. The bill became law without the signature of Governor Mark Sanford, who said, "While I do, in fact, 'believe,' it is my personal view that the largest proclamation of one's faith ought to be in how one lives one's life." The American Civil Liberties Union and the American Jewish Congress are considering suits against the state (New York Times, June 6).
