Evangelizing with, well, pretty much anything has become quite the fad in Christian culture. They use bracelets, T-shirts, hats, necklaces, shoelaces, buttons, posters, music, movies, bumper stickers, and whatever else upon which one can slap a nifty slogan. it's all Jesus Junk, of course, but still it makes for good business. I can't help but notice bumper stickers, and decided to come up with my list of the best worst Christian bumper stickers. These are in no particular order...
"Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."
There's something rather sanctimonious about this one. Ironically, I'm sure it's an attempt by Christians to be humble.
"Real Men Love Jesus."
So I'm not a "real man" unless I'm a Christian? I saw one that was even worse: "Real Fathers Love Jesus." What a slap in the face to any non-Christian man who has done his best to be a good father to his children.
"In Case of Rapture, This Car Will Be Unmanned."
This is another in your face "we're better than you" declaration from Christians. The sticker might as well say, "In Case of Rapture, I'm Leaving - You're Staying - And You Can Deal With The Mess That My Unmanned Car Will Cause After it Crashes. I Don't Care."
"If you think there's no God, you'd better be right." (with flames on the bottom)
Christianity is nothing if not a source of thinly-veiled threats meant to scare people into believing.
"God said it. I believe it. That settles it."
I could write a book on this one. Basically the believer is saying he's quite comfortable with his beliefs, and sees no need to actually think about them.
"Truth, not Tolerance."
I saw this one in a college campus parking lot. To the left of the message was a clenched fist. To the right was a cross, which indicated that this was a "Christian bumper sticker." But this bumper sticker was much more confrontational than average Christian paraphernalia - it even appeared combative. A bumper sticker declaring, "Truth, Not Tolerance!" communicates the notion that Christians are closed-minded, prejudiced people who think the Inquisition was a neat idea.
"Honk if you love Jesus."
Good rule of thumb: if they're honking at you, it's definitely not because they love Jesus.
"1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given."
1 Christian + 1 car = 2 many ridiculous slogans on the back bumper. This rates rather high on the cheese meter.
"Hell isn't cool."
I'm sure it will be a bit chilly if the Chicago Cubs ever win the World Series. Here we have another high reading on the cheese meter.
"Read the Bible... It Will Scare the Hell Out of You!"
As much as Christians like to pretend to cuss, no one thinks it's clever.
"Are you wrinkled with burden? Come on into Church for a faith lift!"
I know it's supposed to be a play on words, but it just sounds like the Christian has a lisp.
"Too blessed to be stressed."
This slogan denies the self-evident truth that sometimes life is hard - sometimes too hard for a person to act like everything's fine. But hey, people still sport this slogan and try to maintain that plastic smile for as long as they can. Truth is, it's okay to admit there's a real struggle going on. Maybe if more Christians were real with other people about their struggles, mistakes, doubts and difficulties, they wouldn't be dismissed as self-righteous spiritual aristocrats who look down on the bourgeoisie.
"For all you do, His blood's for you!"
Do I even have to say it?
"God wants spiritual fruits not religious nuts."
Irony. I love it.
