line eater food.... Is it only my experiance or have others found the same thing that I have: It seems to me that christians, (or just some who pretend to be) can't drive very well. Very often the car that pulls out in front of me and causes me to slam on my brakes, will have a sticker proudly proclaiming something like "God is my Co-piolt". Or "Born again Christian at wheel". Does anyone else notice this? These opinions are my own.........

It has been my experience that "Baby on Board!" and "Child on Board!" stickers make for far more dangerous drivers than the christian stickers do. Just today a "baby on board" type with the baby crawling between the front and back seats, up into the back windshield, and back pulled out in front of me on a highway when I was doing the speed limit of 55. She was doing about 20 when she pulled out. I almost rear ended her and the baby we are all supposed to make special allowance for nearly became road pizza. Most of the chrisitan stickers I have seen have been on cars of old people (remember, these are the ones I have personally seen. No flames, ok?) who are usually far worse drivers anyway. Besides. If they really believe they are going to a better life than this when they die, why not drive bad? Might speed up the getting there :-) JUST KIDDING, OK?

I especially like the ones I used to see in southern Oklahoma in the heart of the bible-belt. The ones that say something like WARNING! This car will become driverless during the Rapture! I know that I always try to keep at a safe distance from these cars :->.

It's only your experience, Arthur. Perhaps you could, if pressed, come up with a neato reason why that would occupy us for weeks to come. As everyone here knows, Christians are bad at nearly everything except trying to take control of the government, right? If the smiley or the wink necessary? How come so many fatal traffic accident photos I see clearly show copies of women's magazines on the auto seats? And now that I think of it, lots of women pull out in front of me in traffic. About half of the people who pull out in front of me in traffic are women, in fact. I guess that there is a such thing as a "woman driver", huh? ;-) -- "Once I was young/Once I was smart/Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves."

When I was in high-school, I once went with a friend and several schoolmates to a prayer meeting that was held by a local businessman, in his home just out of town, on a highway. The ride back, with a carload of born-again Christians, was one of the most interesting rides of my life, with, ah, considerable potential to be my last. One of my carmates said "What do we care, we *know* where we're going to go." But then, these were teenagers. Perhaps born-again teenagers grow up (*if* they survive long enough) to be born-again adults and develop saner driving habits. -- David Canzi

I guess that there is a such thing as a "woman driver", huh? ;-) These are obviously Christian women. The reason that you see more women than men driving like this is that women are increasingly outnumbering men as active, practicing members of most Christian sects, at least in the US today. > -- > "Once I was young/Once I was smart/Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves." > Gregory Taylor (....uwvax!astroatc!gtaylor) Astronautics, Madison, WI -- ============================================================================ Dave Haynie {caip,ihnp4,allegra,seismo}!cbmvax!daveh These opinions are my own, though if you try them out, and decide that you really like them, a small donation would be appreciated.
