My encounter with a moran.
I was just dropping my daughter off at the urgency care clinic and some guy motioned for me to roll down my window. He's a Christian and finds my "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" bumpersticker offensive. He was explaining to me that Jesus would not bomb anyone. I said, yeah, I know, that's the point. He says, so why do you have it on there? I find it offensive. I said, yeah, bombs are offensive. I have it there so maybe people who think * is a godly man will think about where he's taken our country. He said it's not about politics, it's just offensive. I said, yeah, I agree; it IS offensive, but it IS about politics. My daughter said, "break it up, you guys, this isn't the time or place, you're blocking traffic."

What a moran. He looked fairly intelligent and well-educated, but obviously irony is lost on him. I felt like I was doing the "Who's on First" routine, because this ASSHOLE kept explaining to me that Jesus would not bomb anyone. :banghead:

2. what a tard!
It never occurred to me that people wouldn't *get* the irony of that sticker. Then again, whoever buys into this war can't possibly be a strong thinker.

As a side note, can you imagine anyone of a religion *other* than Christianity having such a sense of entitlement that they would ask you to roll your window down so you could hear about their offended state?

4. Well, if that happens again
be prepared with some stickers that say:

"Jesus Would Not Bomb Anyone"

And give him one.

6. Irony is dead post-Bush. Why?
Because appreciation of irony requires a level of self-deprecation and self-awareness absent among the narcissistic, i.e, Bush supporters.

9. Well, sir... you're a Christian, right? Who would you bomb?

I think that's what I would ask the freeper.
