Object: A GOOD CHRISTIAN
THE BEST ROAD RAGE STORY EVER!!!
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard.
Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right
thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red
light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof--and the horn--screaming in frustration as
she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in
mid-rant and fully using obscenities, she heard a tap on her window and
looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer
ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police
station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in
a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer
was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your
car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you,
and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate
holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday
School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated 'Christian Fish' emblem on the
trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

Well, some Christians are pretty nasty (as are some from most groups).
According to the Bible though, Christ/god burns people for all eternity
if they don't follow a complex set of poorly defined, sometimes
contradictory rules. To that extent, I'm glad Christians aren't like
Christ.

Fundamentalism makes them nasty, but as you say it's not just
Christians. What makes Christianity worse though, is that it is an
evangelising conversion religion which tells its followers to spread
the word - but it doesn't equip them to do it.
So they enter other people's space and insist in "discussing" it from
the presumption that it is all true, and accuse audiences of all kind
of personally nasty "reasons" why they're not interested. In the
audience's space where only one POV counts - the audience's.

having seen the symbols. Maybe he does not come into contact

Or the ones I do every day on the road. I have a lot more respect for
the little old lady with the "Women are soldiers too" bumper sticker
than I have for the people with the Christian signs and symbols all
over the rear of the car who give you the horn and the finger if you
dare get in front of them when they're in a hurry.

You should see the ones we have *here*.
I'm cynical enough these days that whenever I see someone acting like an
***** on the road, I start looking for one of those "fish" symbols or some
