OMG! I just saw the fundie bumpersticker to end all fundie bumperstickers.

[Initech]

It had a picture of a hand with a nail through it and it said "BODY PIERCING SAVED MY LIFE".

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[RoadRage]

1. Yup.. that one makes the morning sickness come ALIVE...

Where the fuck do they come up with this shit?

Those repugs sure know how to come up with mainstream ideals. IDIOTS.

[Initech]

2. I don't know... I was about ready to blow chunks in the car.

I have never seen a bumper sticker that graphic... shit.

[skater314159]

32. I might've smashed into them...

... shades of Simpson's Road Rage or some other video games I enjoy.

[qnr]

3. And yet, they're not even familiar enough with their savior to know that

it went through the wrist, not the hand.

[Initech]

6. It was through the wrist...

I was so disgusted by it that I forgot that detail.

[qnr]

7. Ah, ok, I'll give them that point then ... ugh n/t

[skater314159]

33. Yeah, forensically speaking...

... putting the nails through the hands to put up on a cross would cause them to tear, and the person would fall off.:evilfrown: No crucifixion then!

But then, mebbe you didn't wanna know that... mebbe this is why forensic pathologists and archaeologists aren't popular at cocktail parties... but at least I didn't post the links to the actual experiments with cadavers that proved that. :evilgrin:

[zabet]

4. The only thing wrong

with Baptism is...
they don't hold them
under long enough.

[zingaro]

12. lol

is it wrong that I can't stop giggling at this?

:rofl:

[Lady Freedom]

18. Hey! is that a nice thing to say? You hurt my feelings! Just remeber...

[skater314159]

34. My dad had that bumper sticker on his car!!!

Wait his said "The problem with Baptists is that they don't hold them under long enough". It was next to some of his anti-war and zen stickers.

But he had people stalking him, slashing his tires, and giving him death threats on the windshield - usually written ON a tract! - so he put something else over it.

Baptist/Fundie people in the South have no sense of humour!

[Aristus]

5. As a Christian myself, I have to shudder a little any time I see those ghoulish testaments.

That one, or 1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4given. :puke: right?

I stayed away from "The Passion Of The Christ" because it seemed like a study in torture porn. The so-called "devout" who went to see it in droves really worry me...

[jgraz]

8. Well, the symbol of your religion is a guy nailed to a tree

It's kind of hard to get away from the ghoulishness when most of the faithful are wearing an instrument of torture around their necks.

[Aristus]

9. Yeah, it's a little hard to deal with. Christ on the cross is a feature of Catholic

crucifixes. Most Protestant denominations use simply the cross by itself. That seems to lessen the impact of the cross as an instrument of execution somewhat.

Actually, if it were up to me, the symbol of Christianity would be an empty tomb. After all, it is the resurrection, and not the death itself, that sparked the new faith. I just don't know quite how one would go about representing an empty tomb...

[jgraz]

14. Tell me about it. I was raised Catholic -- it's definitely a torture cult

Every serious catholic I knew was obsessed with the crucifixion. Creepy.

[Hardrada]

16. Can you say STIGMATA?

I'll bet you can. How about the lives of some women saints who had the stigmata when on their death beds? I was raised a Lutheran (we have our own interesting problems) but I have read a LOT of Catholic lit, living in a county where ALL the county officeholders are RC.

[Initech]

10. Yeah, those disturb me.

I had an INSANELY fundie coworker who kept trying to get me to see The Passion and I resisted. :scared:

[skater314159]

35. Yeah, especially since they don't know/speak Aramaic, Greek or Latin...

Why go see a movie you can't understand?

I read/speak all three, but avoided the movie because of the whole "blood libel" and "anti-Roman Pagan" aspect. (Yeah, a Jewish Pagan protest, go figure!).

It reminds me of their gettin' off to footage of the Towers - who the hell gets off to bodies falling from a burning bldg? Repukes! Arrrgh!

[Kutjara]

11. Gotta love those death cults.

The twisted piety and fetishistic adoration of torture.

No wonder these clowns take to waterboarding like a duck to...er...water.

[skater314159]

36. Dude! Don't bash Mithras!

Or Osiris either!

Shut your mouth!

[allalone]

13. that's gross

[NNadir]

15. My wife got a christmas card from her boss that said sweet little baby...

...soon you be tortured on the cross for our sins...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. You have got to be kidding!

Now that is gross :puke:

some people :eyes:

[Mad_Dem_X]

23. !

:wow:

[Initech]

27. WTF????????

That is perversely sick. Christianity has to be the most violent religion on the planet.

[skater314159]

37. I'd say some perverse, violent mother fuckers are the most VOCAL believers on the planet.

But I don't think they are representative of shit. I mean Jesus was a peace-nik... anyone who is pro-war is against him!

Tell THAT to a hate-filled fundie next time you have a run it:
"YOU are anti-Christ because of your hate! Matthew 5.23-26 mother fucker!"

[krispos42]

19. Shouldn't that be "Body piercing saved my soul"?

I mean, that's ultimately what religion is about, right? Making sure your essence, your soul, doesn't wind up someplace where it rains magma and you have Jerry Falwell as a bunkmate?

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

22. Yea, but Jerry Springer would be there to help us work out our problems, fo it's all good.

[krispos42]

25. Thank God for Jerry!

[WilliamPitt]

20. "In Case Of Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?"

My personal fav.

:)

[Orsino]

21. I don't want to see torture-fetishists discriminated against here at DU.

We're supposed to be liberal, and tolerant of alternate lifestyles.

[Initech]

26. I quote the late, great Bill Hicks:

"A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? That'd be like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant."

[badgerpup]

24. When hanging out with Catholics...

...it is probably NOT a good idea to refer to a crucifix as a 'trophy'.
:hide::yoiks:

Recovering catholic...
It's OK to poke fun at your own gang.
George Carlin

[BlueIris]

28. I'm reminded of the Bill Hicks bit in which he said he didn't understand why Christians kept using

the cross as their primary symbol of worship while still actively anticipating his return to earth. Because Christ might have some not-so-great memories of that particular apparatus. Like, carrying around those things is gonna get him back here faster?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Bumper stickers in general are idiotic

I don't care what cause one is advocating, but I never saw the purpose of trying to reduce an entire argument into 4 or 5 "witty" words.

[Initech]

30. I know they are stupid.

I try not to let my political affiliation known since I live in a very conservative area. I have a new car and I would like to keep it looking like new.

[Maraya1969]

31. I remember seeing one that said something like "Where do you want to be

seated when you die....smoking or non-smoking?


It was something like that. Tacky and disgusting.
