Tell me again why it doesn't matter what people believe. In most cases they will push their insanity into others.

(2,107 posts)Until kids started scratching off parts of the letters. Soon, it seemed like every cop car in the city had "BUILDING A FART SHIP." Over the rear bumper.
Apt description.

(9,356 posts)Something similar happened with the bumper stickers from In-N-Out Burger in Los Angeles.
Made funnier by the fact that In-N-Out is owned by a very devout Xian family. Their napkins etc. have tiny Bible verses printed on them. They're not real pushy about it, since you really have to look closely to see the verses.
So it must have mortified them when customers altered their free "In-N-Out Burger" bumper stickers. To read "In-N-Out Urge."
Aside from the Buy-bull verses, In-N-Out seems to be a good company. They have refused several multi-million dollar franchise/merger deals with bigger companies because they don't want to lose control of their quality.

(9,666 posts)They don't trust in God. They trust in their guns, tasers, mace and pepper spray. They trust in their corrupt thin blue line and chain of command, from fellow corrupt cops to captains, from DA's to prosecutors and judges who will have their back when they get into a jam and can keep them from being held accountable for their violent and racist urges.
It's a veneer of righteousness shielding a cesspool of sickness.
See? They can't be evil, they trust in God.
I wish I had the words to adequately express how distasteful I find this practice of plastering In God We Trust over everything. It is so far from the truth it makes me nauseous.
And all they have to do in many parts of the country is yell "Jesus Jesus Jesus" to get elected. Disgusting.
We would have much better government without all these religious nuts.

(28,246 posts)Why would we need their armed service if we placed "trust in god"?
Btw, this sheriff said he paid for the almost $1500 @ piece decals. I find that difficult to believe.
