As I was driving to get lunch the other day, I saw a luxury SUV with the license plate “JESUSNM” in the lane next to mine, a pretty obvious reference to “Jesus’ name,” a common way that Christians end a prayer. What isn’t obvious to me is why that plate is allowed but the state has banned drivers from getting “JESUSRX” on their license plate. Or “HOLYGST.

” Or “SNOFGOD.” Or “SPIRIT.”.
