I was in Shreveport, la last year and saw a bumper sticker on a pick-up truck that read "tie Obama here".
shock doesn't begin to describe what I felt. |
Of course I'm aware of that. But that makes it even funnier (though unintentionally so). Some of you need thicker skin. A few of these examples are truly offensive (the Calvin and Hobbs one, certainly) - many of the others are inaccurate, slightly meanspirited, and just do not comport with your own personal belief system. That does not mean they are offensive. |
Yeah, THIS is offensive. Unlike many of the previous examples. |
I don't get this one? |
I think it refers to the fact that it's a single-sex institution. And if that's the case, I'm not sure why it's either offensive or inappropriate. |
OK that is the worst so far. |
Who says they give Muslims a pass to have large families? Overpopulation is overpopulation. |

I have no idea what Bible you are reading, no.idea.at.all! You say all this, but I bet you do not tithe >>>>>>>>>>> Really? You have no idea in what Bible Jesus says, for example, to paraphrase, that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven? How about this: If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? (NIV, 1 John 3:17) Or these? Luke 16:19-31, Proverbs 15:16-17, Ecclesiastes 5:10-12, Luke 1:52-53, 6:20, 6:24-25. As for tithing, I AM NOT CHRISTIAN. I don't claim to be. And yet my actual behavior as regards charity seems to be more Christian that that of Christians. I give to a religious institution every month.... but it sure as hell ain't Christian. |
I had my Obama sticker defaced in New England. Do you think a liberal did that? You need to get around more. |
Ok if you are not a Christian -- not studying the Word in Spirit and in Truth -- then I would guess that you are not qualified to interpret Scripture. By the way, the Scriptures you quoted do not mean we are not allowed or that it is sinful to have material possessions. They mean material possessions should not have US. We are to "...Seek ye first the Kingdom .." And it is ridiculous to assume that someone who drives what YOU consider to be a luxury vehicle is not a "good" Christian or is not being 'charitable'. You have no idea what you are talking about. |

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

| It wasn't a bumper sticker, but last week I was behind an SUV that had a flag in the back window - the black flag of Jihad that Al Qaeda uses. I wan't offended, just flabbergasted. |
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. |
