at least the police knew enough to void it before it went too far

ya know im no bible thumper {ask me about my Jesus patch} but if the enemy of my enemy is my friend then im getting closer every day

I don't place much stock in old books about invisible friends but I do love Christian and American society

glad the ministry of truth is there protecting us {sarcasm}

im waiting for someone to be offended that no one is offended {greg gutfeld}

From the article:

Quote
Religious studies and history senior Matt Cooper said he does not agree with the message Smock and his colleagues are preaching or how they go about interacting with students near campus.

“I definitely don’t agree with the way that they’re spreading that message,” Cooper said. “It seems to me that it’s more hurtful to their cause, and I don’t really think that’s what Christianity is about.”

Cooper said he does recognize everyone has the right to free speech and that Campus Minisitry USA cannot be kicked off the public sidewalk for that. Cooper said he thinks the best way for students to react is to not give them attention.

“It seems to me the best way would be to just ignore him, because I do think that he is seeking a reaction,” Cooper said. “That’s what that type of preaching is intended to do — either in a good way or in a bad a way — but I think not giving them that reaction would be the best way to deal with it.”

Sums it up pretty well I think.

Dan,  the Bible is and old book, and even though your depiction "about an invisible friend" is basically true, I personally don't like that particular way of referring to the Lord.  However, It doesn't offend me and I would defend you right to say it all day long and twice on Sunday.

When I see bumper stickers that I disagree with, I don't get upset or offended either.  I would defend their right to stick it!
