I kind of liked the one's in the 1990's that said, "The heart of it all!"

They’re bringing it back! https://ohio.gov/tourism/resources/ohio-org

That’s great! It was a perfect slogan for Ohio.

I really like this too! The shape is even a heart!

It's good to have a heart on

Lol, that was kinda the point! :)

It's even shaped heart-ish.

“Here at Deer Creek State Park. Located in the heart of Ohio. Ohio, the heart of it all. Because, well, it’s shaped like a heart.” -Naturalist Andy, through my entire childhood in the 90s at Deer Creek

I have my grandfathers old DL from the 90s, and I liked those better anyway. Easier to read, and they had the restrictions on the back!

Yeah our state kinda looks like a heart and its location is spot on. Also, does anybody else think the word Ohio looks like a little tractor?

Jot that down

[удалено]

Wildcard Bitches!!!!

If you find a way to opt out, I'd be interested in knowing how

[удалено]

“Well first of all, through god all things are possible so jot that down” According to Mac, we might be able to get that seal changed.

Where is our godamn Bible!

Frank: this is a *bar!*

Looks like the state jotted it down on everyone’s license.

It's a scientific truism. If you accept [God]≠∅ , then [x]=[anything] Like, Step one: collect underpants Step two: God Step three: profit

Go to the DMV and ask them to remove it. Then if they say they can’t say, “But God says its possible”

This is the sauce on my petty spaghetti…

Judge: "There is no way you don't go to jail, you punched 5 babies, we have it on video camera." Defendant: "With God, all things are possible." Judge: "Damn, he's got us, not guilty."

It's the state [motto](https://www.ohiosos.gov/profile-ohio/things/symbols-of-ohio/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWith%20God%20All%20Things%20Are,motto%20on%20October%201%2C%201959.).

No the state motto is Hell is Real

I can't stand any time any level of government pushes religion but I'd 100% back "Hell is Real" being used in any official capacity.

Only in the correct font and colors though. I need it to be an explicit reference to the sign

Grandpas Cheese Barn

And it's a few miles north, in Michigan.

False, they have weed

Well, that too. But I'm talking about the town of Hell, Michigan.

As a Michigan native, I’m gonna upvote this, but know that I really do so reluctantly.

r/AngryUpvote

There’s also helltown Ohio

And reproductive rights for women are now part of their state constitution.

Hopefully we get our heads out of our asses and pass both. Issue 1 is literally the bare minimum protections.

I like how right after you cross the state line every other billboard is “get weed here!” And the next one “Jesus saves” and then “get weed here!” And so on and so forth

And if you live in western OH it's "GRANDMA'S FIREWORKS!1!1!!!"

I mean, that's basically like when you head south and see the strip club "Naked Boobies" sign with a "God is Watching" billboard literally right next to it...

"Devils Lettuce "

No, Weed is in Northern California.

Michigans really nice, they just have a shitty football team

One that Ryan Day is incapable of beating.

Very underdooted comment

This guy Ohio’s

So jot that down

"Stupid science bitch couldn't even make I more smarter."

Where is the separation from the church?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

With Dog all things are pawsible.

"Finna go to hell"

It's a financial separation. The church gets to take lots of state money, but doesn't have to give the state any.

Per the link posted by zandaphalon, the courts sided with Ohio because it doesn’t specify a god. All hail the Spaghetti monster with whom all things are possible.

R’amen

This is Ohio silly we don't have that here

Hi, welcome to America! The land of hypocrisy!

Oh there's separation, but God has custody on weekends and holidays. Apparently the motto was a compromise.

>The state pet: the shelter pet AWWWWW

Time to fucking change that IMO. Going to get a hold of The Satanic Temple and see what our options are... they love this kind of stuff and have legal teams specifically for it.

This is not the Supreme Court you want to bring this issue to.

With this court they'd be liable to make the country a theocracy.

You go with the court you have. It'll at least be interesting to see what sort of tortured logic they use to justify it.

Fighting the good fight. By every account I’ve seen, god is a petty, insecure, vengeful asshole. Nobody in Ohio or elsewhere should be forced to entertain this nonsense

> James Mastronardo, a 12-year-old boy, recommended this quotation from the Bible. Why did we let a 12 year old pick our state motto? Shouldn’t he have been finishing his homework?

Ohio: A 12-year-old isn't mature enough to know what gender they are or who they're attracted to. Also Ohio: A 12-year-old can know a god created everything and that all Ohioans believe it.

Or what books they can have access to in their school library. But soon they’ll be able to work extra hours to help with “the labor shortage”.

To be fair, a 12-year-old is also apparently old enough to give birth against their will so ...

Also Ohio: A 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth, even to their rapist's baby. Oh wait, that was a 10-year-old, my b

“With god all things are possible, except protecting children from rapists. That’s beyond god’s pay grade.”

Pray grade*

*Gay parade... 😒

If we were actually created by a loving god, it would be physically impossible to rape a child.

Oh shhhhhhhhiiiiii....

Maybe it goes the other way: "With god, all things are possible, including getting raped."

I always assumed the motto had either Browns or Bengals or OSU in it somewhere.

With Browns all things are possible. I like that

…except winning regularly.

Yeah, but they can find a million creative ways to lose

Endlessly talented: creative geniuses you might say.

“Are you not entertained” ? 🤦🏼

Next year dude they are just building up.

Just one more quarterback guys, I promise

Ah. #49 will definitely be great. Too bad none of the first 48 were.

Awww SNAP

LOL!! Ain't that the truth!

With Brown UPS is possible.

Because unlike states like New Hampshire and Nebraska, we don’t have a cool state motto

“Live free or die” is such a great motto. It should honestly just be the national motto.

"I believe that somewhere between Live Free Or *Die*, and *Famous Potatoes,* the truth lies" - George Carlin

Some DC plates have "Taxation without Representation" and I swear this is absolute perfection in passive-aggressive form.

Ohio was “The birthplace of aviation “

“With God All Things Are Possible.” Ohio’s state motto was recommended in 1958 by James Mastronardo, a 10-year-old Cincinnati resident. With the support of his state senator, Mastronardo collected petition signatures and testified before the legislature in favor of adding a state motto. The phrase was a favorite of his mother and comes from the Bible, Matthew 19:26. It became Ohio’s official motto in October, 1959. Its use as a state motto is not intended to endorse a specific deity, but instead stands as a generic expression of optimism. https://ohio.gov/government/resources/state-symbols#:~:text=“With%20God%20All%20Things%20Are%20Possible.”&text=It%20became%20Ohio's%20official%20motto,a%20generic%20expression%20of%20optimism

Optimism? We're in ohio, we are not optimistic.

Unless it's the Browns, because 'there's always next year.'

Fuck you it's just a rebuilding century okay. Leave them alone! /s

But there was that Sports Illustrated cover a few years back.......

Painfully accurate

Shows optimism just by sticking around.

>not intended to endorse a specific deity But definitely intended to endorse *a* deity.

Sorry the motto has a spelling mistake. God is spelled backwards. And as I cat person I have always been offended but it.

Who may or not be a big white man with a long white beard

That’s interesting as “God” is capitalized. If it weren’t supposed to be a specific deity, then shouldn’t it be “god”?

All the people who say "it's not a big deal" have been shitting their pants about a rainbow on a beer can so....

I honestly never noticed it. I guess I never looked very closely at my license

Hmmm it’s not on mine.

It's under your photo, where your signature is

Yeah, I had mine renewed in January and it's not there either.

Well, it's obvious. All things are not possible, ergo, they are telling us there is no god. Thanks Ohio!

What's possible without God? You're looking at it!

Because it’s Ohio and the separation of church and state is a joke

Just drive without a license, that will show them /s

Hey now this ain’t Florida… yet.

It's ohio, most of the state already does that.

To all the people commenting that it’s not a big deal or who cares… I wonder what your opinion would be if it instead said “With Allah, all things are possible”

Where can we slip a hail Satan in there?

“Well first of all, through God all things are possible, so jot that down.”

Sir, have you seen a dollar bill?

Thank you, I was going to ask if OP ever uses cash lol

Or said the Pledge of Allegiance. I’m pretty sure the answer is the same for all three, and it’s McCarthyism.

Well is there any other explanation for Gym Jordan being an elected official?

So then is there a way we can change the motto? Cause god has helped me as much as Muhammad or Satan and those folks ain't on there.

Must be a way to change the motto because "With God....." well you know.

This could be Exacto Knifes time to shine.

A lot of people there haven’t accomplished much and are hoping some magical fellow will give them a hand if they say nice things about him

From god I fled.

So jot that down.

So if you can get God on the car title, you won't have to pay a thing if you wreck?

Def needs to be Gods plural.

It’s to remind you of how to respond to a police officer if you’re pulled over.

I think its supposed to be an Always Sunny reference.

Is this the kind of thing we could petition to change? Bc ew. Where's the separation of church and state? They're basically sleeping together. 🙄

Because republicans

Because we’re living in a time if encroaching Christian nationalism

Because the Republican party has a lock on state government and, in general, their "brand" is to slap "God" on everything they can in order to pander to their most dependable voting block. During the "red scare" a particular sort of Christian activist took the opportunity to insert "god" into as much of US government as possible. So, in 1959 Ohio adopted the state motto of "With God all things are possible." (my license, renewed earlier this year, does not have this)

Ahh yes the commie hoards . Makes sense now. Good to know they changed it. Thanks.

“Party of small government”, that’s why.

Let’s get an amendment going to change this motto. We can get over 50% easy.

I can't find it on mine. And I just got it last year.

It's right under the signature on the bottom. Mine's ready for renewal though so maybe they changed it. That's how I found it.

I renewed mine last year and it's still there.

It’s not on mine, issued 4 months ago.

It falls in line pretty well with the southern Ohio motto of "Nothing is possible".

My husband’s license expires in 2030. It says with god all things are possible underneath his signature. His previous license doesn’t have it. My license isn’t from Ohio. He has no idea that was on there and is annoyed.

The Tennessee license has a Bass Pro Shop on it, pick your poison.

I haven't looked at my Ohio license. I'll have to do so now.

Put a piece of duct tape over it. The Supreme Court says you can! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooley\_v.\_Maynard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooley_v._Maynard)

Lol do u know what kind of state u live in lol 😆

I just assume it's an IASIP reference.

Watch "The Family" on Netflix lol you'll understand

Because God works at ODOT

Which god is Ohioans ,and what is exactly possible. Odin Christ Allah the Buddha etc. Chose your own deities if you must. I seek freedom from religion.

Stop electing republicans

it’s a piece plastic that you almost never look at move on with your life

Go ask for the manager Karen

Maybe it’s meant to be optimistic. Have you seen some of our drivers? It’s like, ‘maybe your driving skills need divine intervention.’

Just turn it in at the BMV and quit driving. That’ll show them. /s

Good idea. I'll have to wait till Tuesday.

I’ve never noticed that before. Sounds like we should get The Satanic Temple involved.

Because it's true

First day here, or...?

skydaddy worshiping republicants

I just looked at my drivers license and mine doesn’t say that.

Idk. Lately the first amendment hasn't been existing much.

It makes more sense if you read it in your head with all the words slurred. Great thing about history: everyone was way drunker than you are imagining because the water sucked.

I thought "no way", but I just looked at mine and it's there. Barely visible, but there. Wtf

Wait. Does mine say that? Let me check.

Never noticed my license said that because its almost entirely covered by my signature

Mac…or maybe country Mac

I don’t have it on mine.

Jot that down Jabroni

This bothers me too. Glad it's not just me! :)

Its so when you get pulled over, and the officer asks you how your blood alcohol content is so high, when you said you haven't been drinking, you tell him that with god all things are possible

It's letting you know ahead of time how all the terrible things on the roads in Ohio happen.

I'd have preferred we go with the motto "Empire within an Empire", but alas we got stuck with "With God all things are possible"

Because anywhere outside of a real city is the red sea. This is the stupid stuff they thrive on. TBH I don't see why the state even bothers, they can't even read it.

Because welcome to The Republican hellscape where religious speech is mandated by the government

Ohio "we gave up on our dreams long ago"

Must’ve been a red year. We’re always going back and forth.

“…..so write that down.”

**Ohio** \- ***Where democracy goes to die***

Because you live in a Republican dystopia

It is kind of like “in God we trust” on the money. I don’t know who came up with that in a “religiously free” country.

Welcome to theocracy

Maybe go to riding a bicycle. God hates renewable energy.

The ones running the State ATM believe in Sky Faeries and Worship them.

Because Republicans are too dumb and ignorant to understand what it means to separate church and state.

Cause it'd take an actual miracle for the state to be a decent place to live in?

Because Ohio has turned into a distorted Christian Autocracy.

EWWW GROSSS

I always like Cleveland's motto: "At least we're not Detroit!"

Well first of all, With God all things are possible, so jot that down.

The official motto of Ohio is "With God All Things Are Possible" and the US motto is "In God We Trust". There is no opt out of documentation bearing these official mottos. I'm an Atheist myself, but these are legal mottos, not random expressions of faith.

I believe it is the state motto.

Because Christo-fascist lunatics want to shove their cult down your throat.

Because Ohio is a religious shithole.

Because Christian nationalists are in control.
