I've had a long love-hate relationship with Chritsitan bumper stickers and billboards. Sometimes they make me cringe with their puns and cliche's, and sometimes they are genuinely funny and poignant.
On a recent post, Acuff created a scorecard of sorts, based on real stickers that are available. Here are some of his scores:
Your sticker features a bit of wry Christian word play. “Jesus accepts knee-mail.” Or “This car is prayer-conditioned.” = +1 point
You give America a bit of a “talking to” with the sticker. “America needs a faith lift!” = +2 points
You find a sneaky way to have a swear on your car. “God’s last name is not dammit.” = + 5 points
You find a way to work topical, relevant issues into the mix. “Jesus Recycles.” = +2 points
Acuff then offers up some of his own bumper sticker ideas:
“Quit judging! I direct deposit my tithe.”
“Sorry I cut you off. I’m a Christian, but I drive like an agnostic.”
“My other car is a chariot of fire.”
Good stuff! I'll leave you with this one I saw the other day:
"Jesus Loves You! Then again, He loves everybody."
Have you seen any good, interesting, or gosh-awful Christian bumper stickers lately?

Well, after i stopped driving, i used bumper-stickers to spice up my poetry slam notebooks. One of my favorites was "God Bless the Freaks!" Another said "Jesus Taught Love . . . How About You?"
