You know, it’s pretty sad. One of the big things Jesus spoke out against to the jews of the time was doing things like praying in the middle of the town square with arms raised high so everyone could see – basically, making a big show of your religion. And looky here, 2000 years later, you’ve got people doing exactly that.
Jesus taught that religion was a personal thing. Yes, he also taught to spread the word, but that did not mean rubbing it in everyone’s faith, especially in a way that says “LOOK AT ME! I’M HOLIER THAN THOU!!!” Jesus taught humility. That is the exact opposite of humility.
That is very true, and is pretty much the reason i don’t run around telling people that they should believe in god and whatnot.A lot of us christians aren’t fond of these people either. They give us a bad name and their actions are philosophically and spiritually insulting. But i am going to commend this person for one thing. At least they chose peaceful passages and present themselves in peaceful(all be it zealous)manner. I mean this person could be doing things like encouraging shootings of abortion doctors or telling them that jesus hates them because they are gay.
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
One other similar thing I find tacky is the increasing trend of using one’s religion to advertise their business. A trucking company should not have Bible quotes plastered all over their trucks. A motel should not have a cross and “Jesus fish” emblazoned on their billboards.
The common excuse for that I hear is “Well, we’re just letting people know we’re Christian so they know they can trust us!” Sorry, but that’s exactly using your religion to sell your business. Of course, that’s not going into the fact that not only are there tons of dishonest “Christians” out there ( As many as non-Christians ), but also one doesn’t have to be Christian to be able to plaster a cross up on their signs…
Good to here there is more of people like you. I have met one christian who had the opinion “it’s YOUR problem if YOU don’t want to believe”, and at least 3 that tried to force it down my throat. I have, on the other hand, never met a muslim that forced anything on me. One actually said “you’re the one who’s going to hell, but we can be friends now, it’s not MY problem, I know where I am going”. We often talked about religion too. No hard feelings. Learn the christians of the world to think like that, PLEASE!
Some good anti-psychotics or anti-epileptics and this nut would realize how fucked up they have become. They might even chisel that shit off their jesusmobile.
OK, I believe and am also a CHRISTIAN. I felt like I was missing out on all the fun:
Republican Christian homosexuals in bathrooms, Christians creating false wars, Christians allowing torture, Christians ignoring so much hunger and famine in the world, Christian priests and altarboys, Christian GOP homosexuals in congress, Washington Madam and her Christian GOP customers, Christians lying, Christian homosexual preachers, rich “Christians”, yada-yada-yada … and now you’ve shown me a way to advertise that I’m a “Christian” too … can you please tell me where I can buy all this s**t so I can put it on my car.
Give me that ol’ time religion – it’s good enough for me!
Orlando is where the Holyland theme park is, this nut probably works there, or goes every day.
Sadly there is a guy with a big blue van who lives like 2 roads from me who is exactly like this. I’ve actually run into him at the beach, carrying around a full sized cross and preaching to anyone who is unfortunate enough to get too close.
Pretty sure the bible says something about not preaching and trying to convert…

There are only two kinds of religious fanatics. Really sick dangerous ones. And really dangerous sick ones.
Okay, there’s proof. That car IS real.
I see it every time I’m in Orlando, but my wife always seems to “just miss” seeing it when I spot it.
So…do you think Jesus would cruise in a sled like that?
and this people, is how badly some people love reading from the fiction section of books

I sthat this person’s arc?
If I go back to visit my family in Tampa and see that car, I’m throwing deviled eggs at it.
*waits for the others to catch the obvious, mediocre pun*
