Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

She writes: Dear Grand-daughter,

The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker .

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..

So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed.

It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!'

'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach..

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.

I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.

He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.

My grandson burst out laughing.

Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.

So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.

So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon,

Love, Grandma

For religious humor, which is usually as dull and humorless as the adherents of religions, I thought that one was OK...

[Professor Tiger]

Here's a religious joke: which organization has earned scorn and ridicule for enabling and protecting pedophiles:
A.) The Catholic Church
B.) Obama's Pentagon, that just kicked a Green Beret out of the Army for stopping an Afghan officer from raping an Afghan boy on a US base.

Answer: both. Except liberals could care less about B.

A priest, a rabbi and a imam walk into bar. The bartender says "what is this some kind of joke?"

[sardis]

A priest and a Rabbi were walking down the street and came across the playground of an all boys prep school. The priest says, "let's screw them!" The Rabbi says, "out of what?"

So this blogger wishes Putin was U.S. president instead of oprama. Because Putin claims to believe in God -- a dubious proposition (hey, he also claims there are no Russian troops in the Ukraine). And Putin is anti-gay and willing to look away whenever gays get clubbed and beaten en mass in public. Yep, wants him because he's an old school Old White Guy. Those are her words, too. Inflation is rampant and their are food lines in Moscow, but Putin wins out with GOP evangelists. Great - GREAT find, probably the rwnj rant of the year.

I encourage everybody to read that article. Again sardis...well done.

Hey, I'm just jumping on the communist bandwagon because the Bible tells me so.

[hedge]

Whatever else he was, Jesus was most definitely a communist...

[Jungle Rat]

I hear Putin is a good hockey player.

[Professor Tiger]

And a karate black belt.

Comrade Putin knows how to deal with houliganism.

[Professor Tiger]

Hey, I'm just jumping on the communist bandwagon because the Bible tells me so.

In Orthodoxy we treasure voluntary religious communism. We call it monasticism. The monks and nuns are our heroes and heroines.

[hedge]

And you criticize Stalin...

[Professor Tiger]

Please note the terms "voluntary" and "religious."

Begone houligan lest Comrade Putin give you a polonium sandwich.

I don't think the Jesuits saw much difference b/w involuntary and religious: "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man."

The Chicago Cubs are going the the NLCS for the first time since 1903. This is a sure sign of the Apocalypse.

Well 1984, 1989, and 2003 would have something to say about your statement.
