The ones from here are absolutely and definitively out of this world. Full of religious insinuation, but many are mostly religious claptrap. Harsh? Well, try this.
GOD PUNISH THE DEVIL.
All words written in bold capitals, the second word is in bold red.
Now tell me, what is God punishing the devil is got to do with anyone? Indeed, does God punish the devil? I don’t know. Anyone who does, let me know the answer to that question. Please.
Why would anyone put such a sticker on their car bumper anyway? Well, it beats me also but I think I can guestimate. I figure it’s something to do with this. Hmm: our religious belief that the devil is our greatest enemy. So far so good. Then, the further belief that this devil is the cause of most if not all of your woes. Then the further, further belief that this devil has colluded with other human beings to frustrate your life. So, God should punish the devil for imposing on your territory.
So you go round announcing to everyone you meet that God should punish the devil.
Never mind that God is omniscient, omnipotent, kind, gracious, loving. The God asking all those who are weary come to Him so that He can give them rest. His mercy is everlasting, as is His love.
Why not focus on worshiping Him in obedience to His Word? Why not focus on the greatness of the love of this God as opposed to asking Him to punish the devil? Why not?
GOD PASS THEM.
The other bumper sticker that caught my attention.
Okay – I actually think everyone of west African descent would understand this statement. Never mind the grammer.
But, for all others, what the sticker is saying is this: God is omniscient and omnipotent. Amen to that.
And, the bumper goes on in implication, that being the case, God is greater than all those pursuing me for evil. Amen to that also.
Come to think of it, that bumper sticker is actually apt, deep and extra.
Selah.
