Alarming!

Or, This Is Why I Am Nervous Driving Next To People With A Lot Of Jesus Bumperstickers.

I just saw the most alarming expression of personal faith as relates to driving a motor vehicle ever. On the back of a Very Large SUV:
"If God is your co-pilot, switch seats!"

There was fear, then. In the way of "Who would be driving your car, exactly?". Pope Feathery would like to remind people that while receiving inspiration from your deity on how to drive is more or less acceptable (depending on who your deity is), actually getting into the passenger seat and expecting Them to drive is one of those things They think are Funny. That is all.

If it was the only bumper sticker on the car I'd take it as a suggestion to others who plaster their car with Jesus bumper stickers.

You're saying they were saying that other Jesus-people were crappy drivers and they ought to let someone else have a go at it?

[agrnmn.livejournal.com]

More that they were not Jesus people and figured having the Jesus people rely on God to drive would probably get the Jesus people killed and...oh Hell it just isn't my day for humor.

I got it.

Double entendre?

[kcgreenman.livejournal.com]

It could be taken two ways. One is daring people to let Gawd drive. The other is challenging people to let Gawd control their lives rather than be a back-up.

This does lead to an observation regarding an interesting phenomena. That is replacing sound practiice and belief for pithy and interesting sayings. Sort of theology by sound bite or punch line. Hmmm....

DOG is my Co-Pilot.

An altogether different propostion.

Generally when the dog has been my co-pilot in the past, he has tried to mutiny and sit in my lap, which would be fine, if said dog were of the small, yippy variety, mais non. He has to be of the large, bulky, can't see over variety.

"If God is your co-pilot, switch seats!"

Ma'am, I have another question. Should they change seats while the vehicle is in motion?

[fred-smith.livejournal.com]

It depends which seat he's switching to. One in another car could be a good idea. Get away from the God bloke.

If they're that faithful...

Why don't they just stay home & ask God to pick up a gallon of milk & some unleavened bread when she's on her way home?

"Our Father, who art in heaven, here is a list of errends..."

Re: If they're that faithful...

Our Father, who wert going anyway, hallowed be thy name.
The milk is gone, we will want some,
With dessert, as it is with breakfast.
Get us this day our daily bread,
And don't forget our molasses
As we've forgotten to get any before this.
Leave us not without Temptations,
And deliver us some pizza.
For on thy list are the Ring-dings,
The flour, and the cacciatore.
And don't take forever and ever, either.
Amen.

LOL, wonderful.

Besides, don't you trust my god?

Your god, maybe.
