Bumper Sticker.
Just got back from lunch with family and, through the window near our table, I saw another bumper sticker I'd never seen before.
If God hadn't made homosexuals there wouldn't be any.
On the one hand I find this a shaky statement as an argument -- you could just as easily say if God hadn't made alcoholics or murderers or pedophiles, etc., etc. And I'm not equating any of those things by the way, just saying you could justify any and all behavior with that statement.
Bumper Sticker.
Over the past couple months of traveling I've seen some fascinating bumper stickers and car art. I'd be interested to know where this phenomenon came from -- slapping our cars with our feelings and beliefs! My favorite bumper sticker, though profane, still remains one I saw years ago "Romeo, Romeo, Where the Hell Art Thou?" :p
Yesterday I saw a sticker that made me really sad. It said "Jesus, protect me from your followers." I wondered how this person had been hurt by one or more of my brothers and sisters. Heck, I didn't look to closely in the window, so it might have even been me who did that to her. On the long list of things I don't understand about God's ways is that He uses us -- hypocritical, mean and small -- to represent Him here on earth. God help us to do it better.
