Well when he returns he’s going to have to get around in _something_. Maybe he’ll just borrow the vehicle that has the most unmistakable “This is a Jesus Car” message. Come to think of it, what would have happened if the Apostles had brought Jesus the _wrong ass_ on Palm Sunday? ---

I once had to borrow a van from a neighbor because I was moving. The van had a gazillion jesus stickers on it. So, I’m driving the JesusMobile down the Kennedy Expressway and other drivers started pointing and laughing and THROWING STUFF at me. It was not god-like by any stretch of the imagination. ---

I once saw a car with a bumper sticker proclaiming “JESUS PAID FOR ME.” Maybe that guy’s trying to get Jesus to buy him a new van. Lousy Jesus never bought me a car…oh, right. I guess only believers get Free Cars From Jesus ™. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LouisB \* > \*\*I’ve always thought that God didn’t really need PR agents. Bumper stickers in general suck; religious based bumper stickers really suck. MHO, YMMV. \*\* Much better PR would be if Jesus himself came down and saved me from the car wreck caused by other Jesus-freaks tailgating that guy to stare at his bumperstickers. Then I’d be all like “Thanks Jesus, that was awesome” and he’d be all like “No problem, dude, glad to assist” and then I’d be all like “No, seriously Jesus, that was totally way cool!” Then the people who manufacture Jesus could put out a great commercial, and I’d do the testimonial, and I’d be all like “Check it out, this Jesus dude, like _totally_ saved my ass from a car wreck…Jesus is way cooler than that GEICO lizard, that little punk waited until _after_ the accident, when I’d of already been dead, and made me get 3 frickin’ estimates, man! I recommend everyone gets a Jesus…today!” Then God would have gotten alot of great PR, with pretty little effort really since that Jesus guy would be doing it all, and how much effort is considered “alot” for an omnipotent being anyway? My dad is an out-of-work advertising executive, I suggest God give him a call. He totally remade the image of Eagle grocery stores, I know he can do it for Jesus too. I have his resume on my computer, God, give me a call and I’ll fax it up to you. I know this great manna place down the street, let’s do lunch. ---

There are quite a few Deadheads who have at least 20 Grateful Dead-related stickers on their VW Microbuses. My car has several Grateful Dead “dancing bears” in the windows, a Central Michigan University Alumni sticker, a University of Michigan-Flint decal, two Ralph Nader/Winona LaDuke for President/Vice President bumper stickers, and one Douglas Campbell (Green Party candidate) for Governor of Michigan sticker. ---
