'I can prove I'm God. You can't prove I'm not,' self-identifying atheist Bennie Hart said of why he chose the license plate phrase
A Kentucky man was recently awarded thousands of dollars from a lawsuit after he was denied a request to have his longtime license plate, reading “IM GOD”, displayed on his car in his new home state.
“I can prove I’m God. You can’t prove I’m not,” he told the outlet. “Now, how can I prove I’m God? Well, there are six definitions for God in the American Heritage Dictionary, and number five is a very handsome man, and my wife says I’m a very handsome man, and nobody argues with my wife.”In 2016, Hart and his wife moved to Kenton County, where he registered to keep his “IM GOD” license plates, WXIX reported.
When he moved to Kentucky, he opted to keep it because it was “his way of spreading a political and philosophical message that faith is susceptible to individualized determination,” but he was soon met with pushback, the lawsuit states. The state’s lawyers also argued that it wasn’t specific to God and that they’d be making the same decision if the request was “IM ALLAH”, “IM BUDDAH”, or “IM SATAN”, according to WXIX.
“What we have to guard against is the encroachment on our rights, on the constitution,” Hart told WXIX.
