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.
>>>>>>>>>>>

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.

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!

In the parking lot of a costco:

"If you don't stand behind our troops, you can stand in front of them" with image of our troops aiming asault weapons at people

So, if you dont "support the troops", they should shoot you?! I find that disgusting and I imagine most of our military would as well

13.1 or 26.2 stickers. It's not cool to brag about your monumental sports achievements, particularly when they are not monumental (looking at you, half-marathoners).

"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.

I love this one! PP who posted the above must have one of those "My kid is an honor student at xxxx middle school" bumpers stickers on his/her car. Oh and even better are the ones that say, "My child was inmate of the month at xxx prison." Ha ha ha ha!

And yes, I'm a parent and I will never, ever put those stupid honor student stickers on my car.


I'm the PP you quoted. I do not have honor student stickers (or any stickers) on my car. Although I don't particularly like those honor student stickers and I would never use one myself, I understand that some parents are very proud of their children (and perhaps even the children are the ones who urged the parents to display the sticker...and what parent is going to say no to that?)

But a pet owner, apparently feeling threatened or offended by the honor student stickers for some strange reason, putting stickers on his car that says "my dog is smarter than your child" -- That's just mean-spirited.

Yes. ONE family with 20 kids. Endless families in NOVA alone that you multiply EACH by 4-6 kids.
Hope this helps.


Um. There are a lot of those similarly fundamentalist 10, 15, 20+ families in the US. Maybe only one is on national TV, but there are a whole ton of them. If I multiply my own family by 10, or there are ten of us with two kids, that equals the Duggars. What in the hell is your point? That you can do basic math?

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, if you are truly "offended" by seeing a bumper sticker like Romney 2012 or Obama 2012, it must be hard for you to live in a democracy.

A handful of the bumper stickers on here actually have been offensive, as in, "Whoa, where do you even go to buy something like that?"

And how do you drive that car to work? Around your neighborhood? On a date (e.g., the Calvin and Hobbes, the beaver-eater).

At preschool pickup?

I'm so tired of liberals being hypocrites when they go on and on about one family (the Duggars) and give the mountains of Muslim families in NoVa a pass for each having at least 4-6 children. But overpopulation is only a Christian-blamed thing, apparently.


I am so tired of Christians like you thinking that liberals are the only ones who can't stand the Duggars.


But they're probably the only ones who simultaneously can't stand the Duggars and are absolutely forgiving in the many-child aspect to the Muslims. Period.


Who says they give Muslims a pass to have large families? Overpopulation is overpopulation.


+1

Also, where are these Muslim families having 20 kids and advertising it? The largest family I know, has 5 kids. I know 3 families that have 3 kids. Most of the Muslim families I hold in my circle (and even those not in my circle) have 2, and stopped at 2.

Can you actually read Arabic (or other languages that use variations of the Arabic alphabet)? Or were you just assuming?


I am not 100% fluent in Arabic yet (currently studying), but I'm not just assuming. Really, there are many variations of ???? ??????? r?yat al-sawd?'. It's really just a replication of the original flag of Jihad flown by Muhammad during his conquests - it's not exclusive to just Al Qaeda, but to Jihadist groups in general, with minor variations. Some use the Seal of Muhammad, some use the Arabic text instead, etc.


oops, I guess this DCUM doesn't recognize Arabic text.

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.


Not accurate in the sense that they do so much more than kill. They build schools, rescue those in harms way, and remove leaders who don't allow females to vote or go to school. The vast majority of those [b]who serve [/b]never even fire a weapon in combat and certainly never kill anyone.


serve? They volunteered. They're getting paid. What else would they be doing if they could get a decent iob?


You probably say that about teachers, too. Hard to imagine why people would want to do anything other than for the money? I feel sorry for you.
