\nAn atheist’s request for a personalized license plate saying “IM GOD” was denied by the state of Kentucky, which said it might distract other drivers, and would be in bad taste.<\/p>\n

Bennie Hart says that by announcing “IM GOD” on his license plate, he simply wants to show the impossibility of disproving anyone’s claim to being “God.”<\/p>\n

Besides, Hart says, he had the same plate for a dozen years when he lived in Ohio, without causing any problems.<\/p>\n

Hart sued state Transportation Secretary Greg Thomas on Tuesday on free speech grounds, asking a federal judge in Frankfort to strike down some Kentucky laws and rules for personalized plates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
