Hello world!
There are a lot of hilarious bumper stickers out there. When stuck in traffic, I can appreciate the comedic value of a good bumper sticker like "Watch out for the idiot behind me" or "CAUTION This Vehicle makes frequent stops (at your mom's house)" and how about "No Baby on board!" (Complete with the durex brand symbol)
The thing is... There are a lot of annoying religious bumper stickers out there. I'd like to vote "THE BLOOD OF JESUS" as being the most annoying. Not only do I find it distasteful, but it's also an incomplete sentence. Not only is it a display of bad grammer, but it makes me ask the same question that you are probably asking about this post.. "What's the point of this???"
If you'd like, please cast your vote. I'd love to see what you come up with should you choose to.

"Real Men Love Jesus"
Can you imagine how goddamn annoying the person who came up with this one has to be?
I hate the self-righteous prats with little chrome fish symbols stuck on their car. I think it means "Watch out for me. I have the brains of a goldfish."

But the irreverent hijacked versions are sure entertaining.
I really need to incorporate the term "prats" into my daily vocabulary.
Yes! I've seen this thing so many times. What is it's significance exactly?
@Secular: "What is it's significance exactly?"
The letters in the Greek word for fish are a kind of acronym for the phrase "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour." Also, Jesus did some tricks with fish (feeding the multitude, walking on water, etc.) Early Christians reportedly used the fish symbol to mark their meeting places, etc. It's certainly a more pleasing logo than the cross.
I think the significance today is "I'm a smug and self-satisfied holier-than-thou Christian. I belong and you don't."
Then there are the pretentious vanity license plates with some version of "SAVED" (SAVD, SAVD1) on them.
The other week I posted the plate JCDYD4U - (J Christ died for you).
The bumper sticker that bothers me most is the "God said it. That settles it." bumper sticker. That's what passes for persuasion with most Christians. Ask them what they think and they'll point at a bible full of cruel stupidity and don a smug facial expression and confident demeanor to complete the offending communique.
After that I'd have to say some of the anti-choice bumper stickers that act like a woman attempting to control her own body and life and future are the equivalent of nazi war crimes, but in an effort to remain relatively placid today I'll avoid listing any examples.
There was one that I will always remember that plainly read "I don't care about you...fuck you!" The young woman driving had zombie make-up that, at the time, was the so-called punk fashionable look.
Otherwise I think the most poignant recent stickered wisdom read "Grow a set. Vote Trump". Right.
@Truett - I've read that sticker many times. The annoyance has worn off. I saw a small red pick-up truck that has the vinyl version of it plastered all over it from grill to tail gate. You can't help but feel a pang of sullenness but I mostly think of the person as being a pathetic, uninformed minion of some theist meme who cannot think for himself. Or, maybe he's being compensated for billboarding the sentiment and defraying his vehicle's cost.
Compensated? Yeah.. in juicy layers of Trident Gum.
I personally think that the only vehicle that anyone should be allowed to display bumper stickers is a '68 Volkswagon microbus. The exception being campers on old pickup trucks should be allowed to have stickers of where they have been.
This thread reminds me of a political cartoon that was in the Los Angeles times. The one cell cartoon had a VW bus coming down a hill road with 2 stickers that read "No Nukes" and "Save the Whales". It had a huge 70s era Cadillac with a driver wearing a cowboy hat that was going up the road and hogging most of the road with 1 stcker that read "Nuke the Whales."
"My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter" is one of the worst. So is "God is my Co-pilot". One of my favorites is " Jesus is coming! Look busy!".
My two favorite nonreligious stickers were "Die Yuppie Scum!" and "Visualize Whirled Peas".
I hate "Jesus Saves" and "God is the reason for the season"! I abhor any sticker that tells me what to do like "Repent now".
"Protected by Angels" was one I saw recently driven by what I assumed is another self righteous theist. My car is protected by Allstate insurance and defensive driving skills. I don't rely on magic or assume that gods and demi-gods worry about my safety.
I have a bumper sticker that created some consternation among my uber religious relatives. I'm a big fan of snow skiing. My sticker says "When Hell freezes over I'll ski there too".
Lol I like that
