Mississippi: Let Jesus take the wheel.

20 years ago I was rear-ended by a DUI woman’s car while I was driving a company car which had a white rear bumper cover. After I stopped to check out the damage (there was none) and before I saw the cops chase and arrest her, I could read on my rear bumper the reverse imprint of the black text from her front bumper tag - “God Is My Copilot”

True, it’s not always easy to get innocent bystanders to quickly sign a waiver as the bus smashes them flat.

So, what they need to do is require that the buses be painted safety orange and that they emit a loud screech while in motion. Everyone benefits then, including the personal injury lawyers, who can add unlicensed church bus-related hearing loss to their ads on the back of the phone book.

Boy you atheists are having a good time with this one.

The churches I’ve been involved with take this issue very seriously after mistakes were made in the past. Any church that I know of now uses contract vehicles that have their own drivers. Actually very few churches have there own church buses or vans anymore and those that do use them alot for transporting people to jobs who dont have any other access to a car.

What’s your point then? That there is no need for this bill at all?

I love how the comments went from being about sex education and free contraceptives to let’s blame Blacks.

This does remind of a guy that apparently got fired for putting Jesus as his co-pilot, or co-driver, in his log book.

The same Baptist who authored the “Let Jesus take the wheel” bill (in the hands of God and the Senate) also authored the state’s"The Lord will protect us from vacinations" bill (died on the table) and the state’s “Save the endangered semi-automatics” bill (shot down).

It’s a race to the bottom among many states.

Not sure where you’re from but around here nearly every church, including the one to which I belong, has one or more vans/buses, all emblazoned with the church name, in the parking lot.

Next up: God wants us to shoot atheists, muslims, jews, pagans, democrats, hippies, and probably some other people.

Here’s a wrap-up.

Great. Just great. They get 3.5 shots at me. :mad:

Indeed.

So why don’t they just tell them to get licenses instead of crafting a special law just for them?

Here we just mostly have vans (15 or fewer people), where all you need is a P on your license.

A few churches have buses, but they are big enough where there are several licensed drivers.

I have to wonder if god likes Mississippi better than Florida, because this is their probable future.
