“Jesus may love you, but everyone else thinks you’re an asshole.”

Which accurately sums up my opinion of those who feel the need to proclaim their religious beliefs.

My all time favorite button includes a visual, so it’s hard to get the full impact… it’s a picture of Gumby with a long walking stick, dressed in a simple white tunic-y thing, and the text reads: “Mahatma Gumbhi, Man of Peace.”

Cracks me up every time I look at it.

God was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him.

My other car is a figment of my imagination.

My other bumper sticker is much funnier.

Honk if you love making irritating noises.

My parents went to a planet where the dominant lifeforms have no bilateral symmetry, and all I got was this lousy F-shirt.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Born again Pagan.

I’m diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

[www.northernsun.com](http://www.northernsun.com) has a lot of these…it’s a little left leaning politically for me, but the pagan bumper stickers crack me up. I especially like “God is too big to fit in one religion” and “In the case of rapture can I have your car?”
