God Doesn't Drive Unparked Cars, Either

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (CBS Cleveland) – Usually when someone says “Jesus take the wheel” it’s meant to help them through a rough patch in life.

But police say an Indiana woman took the phrase literally on July 11th, when she took her hands off the steering wheel as she was driving.

The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette reports 25-year-old Prionda Hill told authorities she let go of the wheel because “God told her he would take it from here.”

It appears here that religion could have easily played a roll in the natural selection process.

. . . which constitutes a twist on recent inscrutable comment from a right-wing public figure.

"Jesus is my airbag."

Based on the tone of the other bumper stickers, it was meant as a joke.

But I imagine the woman in this story would've put it on her car after having the airbag disconnected.
