Jesus Christ In Legal Battle For W.Va. Driver's License
Christ's Attorney Says Name Change Was An Effort To Express His Faith
POSTED: 5:21 pm EDT May 7, 2005
UPDATED: 5:27 pm EDT May 7, 2005
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jesus Christ is hoping to move to West Virginia,
but he's having trouble getting a driver's license.
The man is described as a white-haired businessman who's been using
that name for 15 years without a problem. He has a U.S. passport,
Social Security card and Washington driver's license -- all bearing
the name Jesus Christ.
But he still falls short of West Virginia title and license
requirements, since his Florida birth certificate bears his original
name. The man born as Peter Robert Phillips Jr. still hasn't had an
official name change approved in Washington.
A District of Columbia judge denied the legal change two years ago,
saying the name could provoke "a violent reaction" or "significantly"
offend people. An appeals court ruling last month, however, will start
that process anew.
Christ's attorney says the name change was an effort to express his
faith.

In Germany you have to get state approval even to name your child. A
colleague of mine from Bavaria was almost refused the right to name his
daughter Luna, because the judge thought it might subject her to derision in
school.

That practice seems very intrusive. Your judges must have too much
time on their hands.
