Bumper Stickers

LibraryLady said:
My brother saw a car with the bumper sticker the other day: "Jesus tells me what to do."

The car door opened and and driver took the ashtray and emptied it on the street.

My brother, being my brother and having no common sense, said, "Did Jesus tell you to do that?"

No reply.

Remember though God hates fags.
 
I almost (but only almost :)) feel a bit jealous at all these bumper stickers and church signs threads, because I have never seen a religious bumper sticker, or a weird church sign in reality. I'm sure they exist here as well, but they must be much rarer. Religious people here don't seem to have the need to express themselves that way very much, and signs outside of churches here mostly say things like "Sermon at 11.00 AM".

There was a shriners symbol on a used car I bought once. I left it on there even though I wasn't a shriner and didn't know the secret handshake.

I got a lot of dirty looks and people asked about it a lot. Questions like, "Is that a Satanic symbol?" and "What cult are you in?" I guess it's a good thing I sold it before Sept, 2001 or I would have been labeled a terrorist or something.

The ignorance of some people is staggering.

I've seen fishes occasionally, but that's about it, no bumberstickers with religous messages that I can remember. Though bumber stickers in general seems to be very rare in this country.

I've never seen a single fish either :) But I guess since it is rare on the whole, one doesn't expect to see it, and the few times it does show up, you don't notice. I haven't anyway, it seems :) And yeah, the last time I remember seeing a bumper sticker at all was in the mid 90s when a member of the local "Raggar" gang had a bumper sticker on his car saying something like "Skip foreplay, use a shoe horn".

Welcome to the forum, by the way :)

Thanks, I've been here for some time, mostly lurking and reading, but occasionally I pop out and say something :)

It's probably been several years since I saw a fish, but then again, I haven't been looking either. But I will now, that's for sure :)

Actually, it had printed out

FBI Firm Believer in Christ

And yes, the woman driving was simultaneously yelling at her child, talking on the cell phone and weaving in traffic.

Maybe we would have all been safer if she had been actually using her vehicle as a prayer closet.

Ha ha, yeah I just noticed the post count before, but now I see you have been here longer than me :o They are sneaky those lurkers ;)

I think I will keep a lookout from now on as well :)
 
Years ago I saw one that made me cringe.

"The big bang theory - GOD said so and BANG it happened"

One that always make me laugh is

"Dont drive faster than your angel can fly"

Do we know the average wind speed velocity of the unladen north american angel?

It's been my experience that the more a person needs to advertise how much he loves Jesus the more likely he is to be a genuine ass. I had a boss that always had a bible on his desk although I never saw him read it. I think it was there to make him feel superior. Anyway, this guy was the least trustworthy person in the office.

I had another person who was a devoted christian but kinda kept it to herself. She didn't try to get people to go to her church or put bible verses in her email sig. She was, however, one of the most christian people I've known. One of those people that is always more concerned about others than herself.

Yes, there's probably something to this.

I think it's partly a cultural thing as well. In some cultures it's more OK to show different things openely than in other cultures, I suppose. I think things like religious faith is considered more of a private affair here to a bigger extent than in the USA. People in general don't seem to talk so much about their religious beliefs here on the whole.

People who would plaster a lot of stickers on their cars and proclaim their faith every chance they got in the spirit of "I'm a Christian - get used to it" (that one bumper sticker said according to a post above) would be considered to be a bit 'too much'. Not so much for the actual religious message (though that would be annoying too, at least for me) as for their weird (to us) need to express their preferences in every day life in an over the top way on the whole.
