While on my commute this morning, a rather beat up burgandy Honda Civic cut in front of me. It's rear was covered in numerous of the usual Christian themed bumper stickers such as:
"GOT JESUS?"
"GOD IS LOVE"
"BUSH/CHENEY '04"
but one stuck out that I had never seen before. "GOD ALWAYS U-TURNS". This struck me as silly because if you pray to a god for something, you usually don't want him changing his mind. I tried to think of a positive aspect (from a xian perspective mind you) of this line but couldn't think of one. Taking it rationally it just doesn't work:
Xian Praying Person: "Oh dear lord my husband has cancer please cure him"
God: "Oh ok wait...GOD ALWAYS U-TURNS, Bam I'll strike him dead for ya"
Xian Praying Person: "Thanks, keep the tithe"
Perhaps xian irrationality is now transposed to bumper stickers, or is there some meaning I'm missing?
