MIAMI, April 25 (UPI) -- Florida lawmakers say they're considering a bill to issue license plates with the image of Jesus and a cross.
The bill authored by state Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, would offer a "Trinity" plate with a "picture of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Siplin told The Miami Herald in a story published Saturday.
Another proposed plate would feature a cross over a stained-glass window, the Herald reported, noting several lawmakers have questioned whether it was appropriate to use religious symbols on license plates at all.
"What if someone comes next year and decides to vote on something that has the devil on it, and horns, horns on each side," said state Sen. Larcenia Bullard, D-Miami. "I know that people are called the devil, but if the symbol of a devil is on it, I would not vote for that."
