Got Jesus?

On my way to work, there was a silver Chrysler Caravan driving wildly and changing two lanes to take the exit at the last second. It was my exit also and I was behind of the van in the next lane at the ramp light. Then I saw the single bumper sticker on the rear window that read "got jesus?"
She was inducing "JESUS CHRIST!" from other drivers every time she cut in, braking hard to make the exit.

Perhaps it wasn't the owner's car.

And perhaps the car was bought used and it was the previous owners bumper sticker. Jesus tends to get blamed for a lot of things that aren't His fault, and I'm sure I'm even responsible for some of those.

Don't you know, that if you're sportin' one of those stickers, you're automatically forgiven?

Remember when the Hooked on... bumper stickers were popular? I was with a friend at the time driving and there was a vehicle (can't recall which) with a "Hooked on Jesus" sticker who was really bad in traffic. I wrote a country/western tune that I entitled, "You May Be Hooked on Jesus (But you can't drive worth a S***). It was fun at the time. ;P

You're right Hellion, it probably should have been posted in the Off topic-Off Topic forum. Though, to be honest, I'm surprised that a self-described hell-raiser would even bother reading a thread titled Got Jesus.

Mirrim, did it make it very high on the charts, or was it something you just wrote for your own personal pleasure?

This thread reminds me of Dane Cook's skit, WWJD. He rocks! I think he drives a MINI.

Unfortuniately, not all Christians follow the example they are suppose to be trying to set.

Even so, I have it on good authority that He likes your MINI.

There was a study done recently that showed drivers that sport bumper stickers and custom plates tend to be more aggressive drivers on average regardless of what they said.

I just discussed this thread at length with Viola, who is currently plotting world domination through MINI Motoring culture. She had the following to say in response to this post:

"There was ever any doubt?"

Thank you, that is all. Motor on.

But Officer, I was just ...

Some years ago, our Senior Minister, Doctor ZZZ, and his family were traveling from California to their new church in the Southeast. Their plan included travel over a weekend.

On Sunday morning, they began their trek rather early planning on stopping somewhere in west Texas for church. As 11 AM approached they found themselves far between towns or cities. Not to be dissuaded, Doctor ZZZ declared "We can have church right here in the car!" After suitable hymns, he began a spirited sermon and was "getting with it" not realizing that as he was emphasizing his key points, his foot pressed more and more on the throttle.

Soon, he noticed a State Trooper had slipped up behind him with red lights ablaze. Knowing he had indeed exceeded the speed limit by a non-trivial margin, Doctor ZZZ asked the Trooper if he could explain the situation. A highly skeptical Trooper said "OK, go ahead sir" with clear body language indicating this ought to be good. Upon hearing the story, the Trooper said "Sir, no one would dare tell such a story if it were not true. Go ahead and finish your sermon and service ... with a little less zeal and gas pedal, please."

Doctor ZZZ did just that ... he and family arriving safely a couple of days later.

Now, now, Hellion, since you're an athiest and you don't believe in any of this stuff, it should bother you least of all.

Actually, judging from bulk of crazy drivers I've seen out there, I'm more offended by pagans, athiests, and Nascar enthusiasts on the road than anybody else. Hard to tell from their stickers, but it is scandalous!!!!!

Saying this as a Christian, I always *with tongue in cheek* thought that the fish on the back of some folks car must have something to do with aerodynamics given the speed they were driving.

This was confirmed on afternoon coming home from work. I pulled over into the left lane of a four lane city street to get ready to turn left at the upcoming intersection. A girl was going about 30 over the 35 mph speed limit in my new lane - honked, got over into the middle turn lane, flipped me off, and continued on - fish placed prominently on her rear bumper.

This is how you will know one another, that you love one another.
