Most people with that bumper stick are the "poor."

Huh? I did what?
From context, I'm guessing you're stating that I play better football
than Jesus? ;)

Our version of that one is: JESUS SAVES

Here in New Jersey, I've seen it on some very expensive cars. (Of course, the
owners could still be poor, I suppose.) But I suspect that JC would have meant
"the poor who don't even have cars, or jobs, or enough to eat" in the modern
context.
And there are obviously other quotes (although I don't have the cites with me).
The one about praying privately, and the parable of the pharisee and the
publican (do you know, it took me forty years to finally understand what a
_publican_ was?) come to mind. The story of Ananias and Sapphira. For the
John Knight types, the story of Philip and the Ethiopian. The OT story of
Naaman the Syrian.
Sometimes, I idly think of having cards or bumper stickers printed up with
chapter and verse, and leaving them on the expensive cars (or cars that make
clear that the owners are very well-to-do, or consider themselves superior)
with the GSI bumper sticker. I won't because I respect their privacy, property
rights, and right to an opinion. But the inconsistency and apparent hypocrisy
bothers me.
[Note I've almost certainly got my own problems, But I don't claim to be one
of the elect, or to have an inside track on the straight dope.]

I'd say go for it. As long as you don't damage the car in any way,
(cards placed behind the windscreen wipers should be fine) and only do
it to cars parked in a public place (not a private driveway) I'd say you
have every right.

Pegging the vulgarity meter, a t-shirt:
Jesus loves you -- I know, because he moans your name whenever we
______.
John R. Owens
Heh. When I was young, I made up a favourite joke of my very own
substituting Joseph for the shirt wearer, God for the "you" of the
shirt, and Mary for Jesus. Punchline about "screaming ex-lover's
name". I think you can fill in the blanks.
As far as I know, I've never heard it anywhere else. I find it hard to
believe that no one had ever come up with that joke before, though.
