Deva Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I must start another thread on this subject because of the absurd mess I saw today. It was a drawing of a man's hand with a nail being driven through it. The caption read "Body piercing saved me." Even if I were still a Christian, I would be disgusted. Really, some of the stuff I see on cars on the road makes me despair. There is a megachurch in the area that has about 25,000 members regularly attending. Their sticker is a cross shape, an equal sign and then the word "Love". I see this thing EVERYWHERE. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOHO Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hey, @Deva, I think you were after bumper stickers, billboards etc that reflect the xtian/religious mindset - especially those that are really insulting or just plain stupid. My county is re-pleat with a billboard that says "For the truth, look here!" Then there's an arrow pointing to the Bible. Obviously, if i twas the truth, they would not have to continuously pound it into the sheeple that it is. I wonder how much it would cost to rent the sign next to some of those that says "NO! Here!" With a picture of Richard Dawkins's latest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Then there is the group that has raised millions of dollars to erect giant metal crosses along the interstate roadways. These are actually significant construction projects but for what purpose? What are they attempting to accomplish? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the sheeple go they are trying to attain the highest xtian honor possible by converting the masses. As far as the heads of state church are concerned they are trying to amass more money and political clout. Let's hope it backfires - WHOLESALE! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure this is not the only thread I have started on this subject. I go for years and then its like an overload of the stupid. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Fuego ♦ Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Portland has a handful of stupid billboards like "Beyond Reasonable Doubt - Jesus is Alive!" "Heaven or Hell? Call --- - ---- to find out" Vancouver's county had to install the motto "In GoD we trust" (the d is actually a different sized font for some unknown reason). The former commissioners were corrupt GOP suck-ups intent on getting the religious vote, now we're stuck with that damn motto overhead. The annoying sticker I see on vehicles around here is "Only God". I've been thinking about printing up some "Only Thor" and similar. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they lease or purchase space on private property, mostly from farmers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffodil Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 There is a single story barn with the following message in huge letters along the major highway in our state: NO GOD . . . NO PEACE KNOW GOD . . . KNOW PEACE Funny thing is, in all my 20 some odd years as a Christian, I never felt any peace! In my last few years as a Christian, I had a bumper sticker on my car that said, "Is this all there is?" It was advertising the Alpha Course at our church. Now when I see that around town, I silently say, "Yes, as a matter of fact, this IS all there is!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Europe, I wasn't looking for bumper stickers, so I didn't take notice of that. Anyway, the notion of trying to get others to think the same here in America was probably borne out of evangelicalism. 2 hours ago, Vigile said: Saw a post on FB the other day that was pretty funny: "God loved you so much that he gave up a weekend for you" (in the image, it showed Jesus' jet ski sitting in dry dock.
