Yeah, I know freedom of religeon, but quit fucking painting up your old tires and hanging them on fencepost of central Florida’s highways! Are you just too poor to pay those couple of buck for tire disposal fees? Do you think that because you can paint red and white two tone letters, I’ll be soooo impressed I’ll head off to church this weekend? Maybe those guys that have all the fun of riding 4 wheelers around the interstate cleaning up don’t have enough to do. I know, you want to increase the mosquito population in hopes you’ll be spreading West Nile virus to all the heathens who don’t believe! Quit ruining my view, Fucktard!:mad: later, Tom. ---

I wonder just how many people decided to become “born again” or convert from other faiths to Christianity upon the sight of a Jesus Saves billboard, sign, graffiti, tire, or what have you. ---

Wait… People paint used tires and leave them on the side of the highway because of God? Edit: Okay, I think I get it. Do they look like life savers? ---

I’ve often wondered where those old school Jesus Saves signs come from. I mean they’re screwed in, high up on a tree. They are also very rustic looking. I wonder if they’re put up by some sort of weird ass Christian cult. I once saw one that said " Jerry Saves" ---

As a follower of Jesus, loathe to identify “Christian”, this is a behavior that really annoys me. I call it being “Jesus-y”. People think being a Christian is “good” so they go out of thier way filling their time making stupid signs and writing letters to NBC about how they were offended by this or that and flying the flag. These things letthem have all of the “feel good” benefits of being a Christia, with none of the actual work or sacrafice.
