God is My Co-Pilot --- Pics for Christians with a good sense of humor |

You know all those cars that have lisence plates and stickers on them saying
"God is my Co-Pilot"... do they ever end up in accidents? Of course they do,
just like anyone else can end up in an accident.
Well, bad things happen to good people... I guess when people crash God had
something to do with that too?... why doesn't God keep everyone safe in
their car, since it's written God is not a respecter of persons?
Acts:10:34: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons:
Acts:10:35: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him. (KJV)
(Well, many God-fearing Christians have had car-accidents, and even killed).
I'd say since the majority of the American population is Christian, then
common sense would say that the majority of people killed in car accidents,
are Christian. Many non-believers or skeptics, believe there's nothing
beyond this life, so they go out of their way, to use reason, and careful to
avoid dangerous situations (i.e., obeying road rules) which makes sense,
because if you really believe "This life is the only one I have..." you're
prone to likewise reason "I better take care of my life, the best I can. I
may not get another one."
Mt:5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust. (KJV)
The DMV maketh the road rules for the evil and the good, because traffic
accidents occur to both the just and the unjust. (SLM)
Hmmm, that's what the Bible says about it.
Meanwhile I think most accidents can be avoided by learning and obeying the
Safe Road Rules, and obeying the laws given by the Department of Motor
Vehicles, and God simply has nothing to do with it.
Why didn't God prevent these accidents from happening?

You know all those cars that have lisence plates and stickers on them saying
"God is my Co-Pilot".
I think originally some fighter pilot turned fundy wrote a book by this
title. Theists are, of course, just plagiarizing as usual.
.. do they ever end up in accidents? Of course they do,
just like anyone else can end up in an accident.
Have you seen that BMW commercial where they have these four cartoon-like
angel figures flying on the sides of the car to protect it? I think it's
for the BMW "x-drive". It seems to be pretty blatant religious
pandering. Here's a link if you haven't seen the commercial.

It's pretty stupid really. The lead angel is all happy about getting mud
splashed in his face.

You're right - it's silly.
(Kids will love it.)
