"Baby on Board" stickers

[giant_mtb]

I may have seen a Jesus fish, but maybe I didn't notice or recognize it as such.

Exactly why I don't find them offensive.  They're nondescript and if you don't know what it is, it's not noteworthy.  Google "Jesus fish" if you're not sure.

Depends on where you live or travel.  When we lived in a rural/small town outside of the GTA, there were a couple of 'Reform' type churches and several people had Jesus fish stickers on their cars.  Where we are now, in the middle of a major municipal area, haven't seen a single one.

I don't really mind them that much, but I sometimes question the mentality of someone who would do that.  It's like putting a label on your life style and wanting everyone to know.

I have seen bumper stickers that say "WWJD" or "What would Jesus do?"  I can't say they bother me, though I become a little skeptical of people who are too "loud" about their religion.  Though it's less annoying to me than people who are "loud" about their political views, especially in a smug and presumptuous way.

They don't seem to be common anymore. They were all over the place like 15 years ago.

I think I have seen that.  I had no idea it was religious.  I paid no attention because I had no idea what it was.

Seems to be the case with bumper stickers in general.

Though most of the ones I see now are either craft brewery stickers, "I ran this far" stickers, or "my penis is tiny, here's my huge truck" stickers.

I don't find those annoying.  They don't really say/mean anything besides "I guess I believe in God."  BoB stickers carry a lot more pretense.

A Jesus fish says "I believe in god so much that I need you to know about it, even though I've never met you and will never meet you; I need you know that if you don't believe, when the rapture comes, I will be embraced in paradise and you will not, and therefore I am better than you."

Baby on board says "Hey guys, I'm driving slowly because there's a tiny human slowly ruining my life in the back seat and I don't want to kill it yet."

Yeah, the 13.1 and 26.2 stickers....why the 13.1, especially?  I don't celebrate doing half of something.

For the longest time, I thought WWJD was a radio station.

All I want to say about that is that you should only display the biggest one. The full marathon sticker goes Over the half marathon. You know, like registration stickers (people screw that up too)

Yeah; otherwise I have to force them off the road to ask them whether built up to the full marathon or they did the full marathon first and then got lazy and let themselves slide.

Religion is a political view. 

It can be, but not always.  The same is true with politics.  For some people, it can be a religion, but for others not.

[Soup DeVille]

And then some stickers wrote it "WWJD?" And I thought it was some semi-underground pirate radio station; so I had to find it.

I was really disappointed.

Yes. Very much this.

The 0.0 ones are the wierdest. I get the joke, and it's funny. But it's something you should see at the souvenir shop and laugh, then move on. You shouldn't actually spend money on it and proceed to put it on your car.

In America, it is.

Ehh, it's their car.

Another one I've seen that produces a chuckle was 26.3 and then if you look close it says "nachos in one sitting."

I want a "2.0. Because the army makes me" sticker.

I think that's a bit aggressive.

Consider the purpose of someone slapping a sticker on their vehicle.  What message are they trying to send?  What is the Jesus fish trying to tell you about those inside the car?

"I'm a Lutheran."

Anything beyond that is hyperbole, as is the case for most any bumper sticker.

Lutheran?  Catholics can't use it?

Was just throwing a random example.  But now we're just going in circles.

Sorry, I'm just bored.  However, as someone who often wonders about the various ideologies that tend to bind various groups yet put them in opposition to other groups, I find symbols like the Jesus fish rather intriguing.  I don't recall seeing vehicle stickers with the Star of David or the Star and Crescent.  Maybe elsewhere though.

Only time I see a Davidian Star is on these

Never saw that before.  Very interesting.  Without looking it up, not sure what the S signifies.
