"In case of Rapture, this vehicle will be unmanned"
Seriously - when you see bumper stickers like that - you just want to know what kind of dumbfuck is driving the vehicle

2. It's never a car I want, either.
Really, does it mortally offend Jesus if one of his followers gets more than 18 miles a gallon? :eyes:

4. Jesus hates efficiency.
It says in the Bible. Probably.

5. What is it with you and the rapture? Is that what makes Delaware?
:wtf:

Just curious, but is the rapture have something to do with DuPont dumping chemicals into the air and people disappearing?

10. No, the car gets left behind.
As do clothes. Apparently the faithful get raptured up to Heaven in their physical bodies. Butt naked.

I know, this is the stupidest shit I ever heard too.

What if you're indoors? Do you have to open a window? Do you bust through the ceiling?

13. The funniest bit of all...
is that they've thought long and hard about this shit, so much so it's almost scientific to them. Duh silly EVERYONE knows that your car isn't raptured with you!

number 5 or 6, where "god" needs to use the Enterprise and Kirk says "what does god need with a starship?"

The pious all know that God drives a Dodge Ram.

45. Nope.
God drives a Christ-ler At least the Christian one does.

I haven't a clue what Allah and Y-W- drive. But the Buddhist car never took off: it's tough to promote an illusion.


(BTW, the Buddhist vacuum cleaner was a bust as well: no attachments)

23. I read a plot summary of "Left Behind" and the whole beginning is a rip-off of "The Langoliers"
On a plane, people go missing, leaving clothes false teeth, etc behind.

Stephen King should sue.

33. Well they just beat the #1 ranked team on Saturday so
I'm hoping they pull home a victory. I think the Blue Hens have at least 2-3 NFL quality players on their team. Rich Gannon was UDel alumni!

Should xians be allowed to drive then if any day now the vehicle they are driving may go out of control on a public road?

when the car crashes. So that's okay. All the people who matter will be safe in heaven. :P

29. Oh sure but I guess my point is
this is another reason for us sinners to oppress the xians...by keeping them from getting driver's licenses...so that we don't get harmed as they leave. ;)

She's hasn't put one on her newer car, though... wonder if it's a change of mind or just a hesitation to put any stickers on. :shrug:

36. In Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"
they took their cars :)

~~~~~~~~~~~

Grim Reaper: Now, the time has come. Follow... follow me...

{Geoffrey suddenly runs forward with a revolver. He looses four shots at the Grim Reaper from about three feet. They pass through him. Pause. Everyone is rather embarrassed.}

Geoffrey: Sorry... Just... testing... Sorry... {He sits.}

Grim Reaper: Come! {Out of their bodies, spirit forms arise and follow the Grim Reaper.}

Angela: The fishmonger promised me he'd have some fresh salmon and he's normally *so* reliable...

Jeremy: Can we bring our glasses?

Fiona: Good idea.

Debbie: Hey I didn't even eat the mousse... {They follow the Grim Reaper out of the house.}

Angela: Honestly, darling, I'm so embarrassed... I mean to serve salmon with botulism at a dinner party is social death...

Jeremy: Shall we take our cars?

Geoffrey: Why not?

{Slightly to the Grim Reaper's surprise, they follow him up to heaven in a Porsche, a Jensen and a Volvo.}

41. Not just a dumbfuck.
A dumbfuck with one helluva sense of entitlement. A dumbfuck who honestly believes that the entire world has been waiting for their existence, that God himself was waiting until they were born before he'd get around to doing his Armageddon. And now that they exist, history can hurry up and finish itself.

Most of those cars are driven like they're un"manned" at the best of times.

46. "In case of rapture,this vehicle will be unmanned"
I have seen them too.It is pointless to tell the public
because if such a repture really happened.The world would be
screwed anyway.

However if it did happen and the world goes on.We will have no
more religious nuts to deal with.

So maybe it would be great that a rapture did happen.For the
rest of us to be free of them.
