I saw another one of those black and white billboards with a message from God. It said…

“Keep using my name in vain and I’ll make rush hour even longer.”  
To which I replied…gawdammit. 😃

The irony is that the billboard is on this isolated stretch of road on the way to Goldboro, NC. I don’t imagine it _ever_ has a rush hour.

There was a Pit thread a long while back about these billboards–this one is the one that inspired my sole Pit-post to date, ranting about how incredibly _petty_ this sounds. I’ve already gotten it out of my system, so I’ll leave it at that.

I’ve heard that a group (associated with CoG?) has started the “Goddess Project” in response, posting Neopagan billboards like “The Goddess is within”. This bothers me a bit, but I do rather enjoy envisioning the stunned look on the faces of the people doing the “-God” billboards when they see them.

**Dragonblink** , I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of the caustic Pagan slogans you mentioned (not that you see many Neopagan stickers here in the Bible Belt). If no one objects to the hijack, can you list some of them–we can keep this (relatively) impartial and bash those, too.

This is one I just saw:

In response to all the “God/Jesus is coming” I wish had a car so I could make a bumper sticker:

God is a lousy lay. You can’t have both God and the Big Bang

I always thought this had something to do with oral sex.

ONe day my friend Gene and I were on the interstate in New Orleans. We were in the left land behind a slow moving boat-of-car. The car had its left turn signal on, and had been flashign it since we’d gotten behind it, five miles back. It also had a bumpersticker which read:

GOD is the pilot, I’m just the co-pilot.

When we were finally able to pass this vehicle, Gene rolled down his window and yelled to the perosn in the car, “TELL GOD HE’S GOT HIS LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON!”

The last four words of this bumper sticker are wreathed in flames:

“If You’re Living Like There’s No Tomorrow, You’d Better Be Right!”

Okay, this wasn’t exactly a bumper sticker, but recently I saw a tank truck that fills pools with water (who even knew such things exist) and it had an American flag on it and the slogan “Filling for Jesus”. I can’t even begin to imagine what that means.

For the Rapture stickers, here’s a link to the Darwin Awards. This has to be a fake submission, but it’s so funny. Super funny in fact.

There’s a dump truck company out here that has a slogan painted on the back end of all their trucks:

“Jesus won’t dump you.”

Oooookay.

There are some caustic neo-Pagan bumperstickers out there, but darned if I can think of any of the bad ones. The one I do remember is “Born OK the first time”.

One I wish I had for myself (don’t think I’d put it on my car, just take it out and giggle every now and then):

“Jesus Love You; Cthuhlu Thinks You’d Make A Nice Sandwich”

That was a song by Sammy Hagar back in the mid eighties right?

Jesus lives and fish don’t walk  
And they can’t touch my three lock box  
1-2-3 lock box…

I am Christian and don’t think folks should have such a problem with folks expressing their faith but I’ve never been keen on NFBSKing up a perfectly good car with bumper stickers.

Of course, if God hates nakedness how does one take a shower without sinning? Would it then be logical to say God hates cleanliness?

I don’t think she added anything to an existing bumper sticker. There have been bumper stickers for at least a few years that say that whole thing “God was my co-pilot but then we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him,” and t-shirts, and buttons…Guess there aren’t Newbury Comics stores (which, oddly enough sell CDs not comics) in your area, huh? They sell the “What would Satan do?” and " Jesus Hates Me" ones there too. Me, I’m still looking for one that says “Jesus saves, but Budda recycles.”
