> [@](#): > > I saw one that said `The Big Bang Theory: God spoke, and BANG! it happened.'' The one right next to that one said `University of so-and-so, Science Graduate’’. The Big Bang theory can be summarized thusly: In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded. It states nothing about what happened before the beginning. It is not inherently irrational to believe that God gave the proto-universe a ding round the ear, and let things take their course from there. ---

So **nothing** exploded? Awfully quiet for a Big Bang. ---

Oops, sorry, it’s better to make a stupid joke when **also** attempting to contribute to the thread. I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said “Jesus” and an adjoining one that said “I love my kids.” My poor brain always wanted to put them together: “Jesus, I love my kids!” ---

Only one bumper sticker on this one. “Live simply so that others may simply live”-- on a brand new(no plates) Mercedes. ---

Best combo I ever saw - about 7-8 years ago when the Dallas Cowboys had been having a run of drug-related incidents, I was sitting behind a car with a few different Cowboys stickers on the rear window and bumper. Also on the bumper, on the left side? You might have guessed. A DARE sticker. ---

I am a gun owner and I saw a remarkably cool bumper sticker recently, on the rear window of a late model pickup was a small “HK” sticker, that was all it said, I remember thinking “now there is a truck I plan on leaving alone!” (for those who don’t know H&K make some fine firearms). A small, unobtrusive sticker that carries a HUGE message!, I love it!. unclviny ---

> [@](#): > > Back in college, I used to see a Neon with a sticker on either side of the rear bumper. One said “PHISH”. The other said “Dole/Kemp”. Huh. When I was in college, we used Wite-Out and Sharpie’s to turn the Dole/Kemp stickers into Roll/Hemp. Maybe this guy was just high when we stuck it on? ---

I would be more confused with a “got Jesus” and a “save the whales” pair. Firearms is a tool of self determination, of not being dependant on a government for basic needs such as food and protection. This would be more likely to cause a closer relationship to God then todays anti-individual-ownership of firearms and anti-religious government (sepperation of C & S gone amuck). If you think of firearms as a tool of peace instead istead of destruction I will think you will see the relivance of the OP pair. ---

Not exactly bumper stickers, but displaying a similar gap in logic was the cyclist I witnessed wearing a T-shirt that read “One Less Car”. No problem with that other than the fact that he was loading his bike into the back of a car. A car that was double-parked in the middle of Harvard Square during the morning rush hour and was backing up traffic for several blocks. ---

I see guns as inherintly violent. And Jesus as inherintly peaceful. That’s why it seemed odd to me. ---

There are many of us. And there are effectively, in the U.S., only two sides of the aisle. While mainstream media (can) only concentrate on what they can pitch in a few seconds, and thus play to whatever stereotypes they think will move, they’re hardly reliable. You’ll never see it in the papers, but there are many atheist conservatives, liberal christains, gay conservatives, anon, blah, blah, woof, woof and on down the line. One siting I remember was catching Monica Lewinsky’s (purported) website when the storm broke, just before she went down (oops); amongst the five organizations that website professed her allegiance to were a Pro-Life organization and Greenpeace. Might’ve been WWW BS, but it’s hardly unbelievable. ---

I once saw a car with a “Baby on Board” sign, and a bumper sticker that read, “If you’re rich, I’m single”.
