Well, the Vatican has the Popemobile and Greensboro has this Toyota Camry with a giant "JESUS CHRIST" decal on both sides and scripture on the rear window and front bumper. "Repent your sins B4 it's 2 late, Ezekiel, 3:18-19" is what's on both bumpers. It takes a person who is confident in his/her message to wear this giant bumper sticker 24/7. We saw the car at the Target parking lot on Lawndale near the former Sears warehouse.
Let us know if you are out for a Sunday drive and see this vehicle or if you know who drives it. This is our religious contribution for this weekend. We make a commitment to provide our readers with something spiritual at least once a week. Look here for previous posts. Gotta enter this is Robert's (Athens Daily Photo)-- Sunday Psalms Challenge,8.
PSALM 8: O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, You whose splendor is placed above the heavens!
Umm, I think I prefer the less flashy Popemobile (which I actually got to see on the Mount of Olives, WITH the Pope inside).
Your post is unique!

Dina, I have gone in and linked to a wiki article on the Popemobile. You are right, they are less flashy. What many people might not realize is that the Popemobile is a concept, not an exact vehicle make and model. The Popemobile is a modified vehicle and is different depending on where the Pope is appearing, whether he will stand or sit, and whether or not he needs a bulletproof shield.

Psalm 8 is a tribute to the Lord our Creator. Apparently it inspires us all in some way or another. Sometimes it appeals to our feelings, sometimes it feels strange, like I feel uneasy seeing this car. Maybe it's my Dutch Calvanistic upbringing. The owner of the car is a very brave person!

It is definitely different.
(Consider joining us on Mondays for Odd Shots. This one I would consider a cross-over vehicle. Crossing over between the spiritual--somewhat in your face sprituality which is not my style--and an odd way to evangelize.)

I'll have to suggest something like that to our church council! I wonder what they would say?

Of great honour to see your participation ! Which reminded me of the saying, not to drive faster than your guarding angle can fly.
It would be a pleasure to see you soon again. A safe road ahead and a wonderful start into the new week for you all as well.

Interesting! I've never seen a car with such a message before.
