Putting a hot-button political statement on your car is particularly stupid and offensive. And this one suggests you have a low IQ.

Justification for my dislike of all those Obama logo bumper stickers, thanks PP!

A comedian, Demetri Martin said, "A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.' So true. We bought our house right before the last election and it was nice to be able to size up the neighborhood based on yard signs and bumper stickers!

LOL well that's convenient. Only Christians are qualified to interpret scripture?
Are only Muslims qualified to pronounce learned opinions on the Koran?
Are only Buddists qualified to study and pronounce opinions on the life and words of the Buddah?

I was a Christian for over 20 years so I do know what I am talking about. And if you really believe your faith, then good luck explaining to God when you get to heaven how you drove a BMW past the homeless, cold, miserable person on the street corner every day.

Doesn't mean one has to be a complete ascetic. But neither should they indulge in opulence. It takes a shit ton of cognitive dissonance to have a BMW, and put a cross on your rearview mirror.

I think if God were here, he tell you to worry about yourself, not others. How about you to take all of this time that you're spending fighting with a stranger on the computer, and instead spend it in the soup kitchen or something?

"Abortion is murder." Putting a hot-button political statement on your car is particularly stupid and offensive. And this one suggests you have a low IQ.

That one is particularly offensive because it makes a lot of assumptions about the woman sitting behind you in traffic that might of had one. If I'm guilty of murder so is everyone around me that all but forced me to commit it. Assholes.

I know what you're trying to say, but you misfired. Badly. The bolded statement evinces a particularly dense understanding of Christianity.

I find it offensive when someone is an A hole in traffic and then I see their religious stickers on the back of their car.

I would find it offensive if someone was driving a Hummer with an eco-type sticker on it.

This thread is why I don't put any bumper stickers on my car. People have enough reasons to be horrible in traffic, you don't need to give them another reason. And hate just seems to run so high these days.... yes PP, much higher than in Bush's terms.

My favorite was seeing a Clean Air type liberal bumper sticker and a Conserve Gas liberal bumper sticker...on a luxury SUV.

Oops...it was a luxury minivan.

Was it an alternative fuel or hybrid vehicle? I have a biodiesel SUV but most people don't know it unless they see me gas up.

I don't know? Does Lexus make a hybrid or alternative fuel minivan that doesn't have labeling as such on it? I've gotten used to all hybrids having either "Hybrid" or the green leaf on the car and alternative vehicles having labels such as "Flex Fuel" or something similar that I assume something without a label doesn't have those things.

Maybe the person driving a 1990 honda civic finds your "humble" 2003 toyota corolla as unchristian-like. Money is relative.

This part of the conversation is not a part of the Christian debate going on above. It was only in response to the topic of hypocritical bumper stickers. In this case a person lobbying for and trying to convince others of clean air policies and gas conservation when driving a poor emission and gas guzzling minivan. Whether a person driving a 1990 honda civic finds my car un-Christian or not, I don't go around driving a vehicle that clearly violates the principles that I espouse on my bumper stickers.

Did you not get my point? Someone that has less than you will always consider what you have a luxury. That's true in regards to cars or handbags or homes or anything else in life. Luxury is completely relative.

This was in Charlottesville. Still offensive, but fueled by young idealism. No perspective for the sacrifices of those who serve.

Except, it's also a pretty accurate depiction of what armies do. So, there is that.

If you're very religious, you shouldn't be materialistic.

But I find the opposite to be true. Religion = power and money

Huh? It offends you that Christians might drive luxury cars?

other PP - how about an image of the Quran hanging from the rear view mirror? would that be INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE and IRONIC?

what a dumb fuck you are

My, aren't you smug? Enjoying your freedoms while young men and women die and get maimed to protect our nation's security. And I don't refer to the most recent war Bush started but ALL wars.

NP here, I will rephrase that one... Don't pass judgment on others.

DC himself was so proud that slapped the "honors student" sticker on my car before I knew about it. I feel like ripping it off would send the wrong message. So when you see me driving around, understand this....

You have given me a totally new perspective on the honors student stickers. Up until now, I've considered them ridiculous. Your kid putting it on the car himself because he was proud-- that is awesome!

This is exactly what I thought. I used to find them annoying but as a parent, if my child even asked me to put it on the car, how could I possibly say no? I would certainly try to steer him in the direction of letting Mommy tape it to the inside of the window, but if he insisted, I would likely give in, because I would indeed be a proud parent.

I can be proud and annoyed at the same time, right?

You are so far off-base that it is ridiculous
I guess you don't have a home because others are homeless?
Would you like to point out the other items we Christians are not allowed to have according to you?

Yeah I'm a smug vet of the war Bush started. Funny, I believed the same BS you're quoting at eighteen.

Your conscience is yours to deal with. The fact that you seem to be unable to think or respond without massive polarizations, suggests you probably have some things to reconcile.
