say "ruh-roh, Raggy," and jump into Raggy's... I mean Shaggy's arms.

Or do that mad legs-a-pinwheeling-getting-nowhere thing for 10 seconds before finally gaining traction.

I love that one, I've had it for awhile. My mom thought it was kind of blasphemous, I asked her to who, Jesus, because it substituted Scooby for Jesus, or blasphemous because it was a bumper sticker about Scooby, and Scooby is not to be trifled with at my home.
She didn't think I was funny.

If your mom is like mine she didn't think we should say words like Jeez, gee whiz, and Crap and son of a gun etc. etc. because you were just substituting blasphemic words for other words. But she KNEW you were swearing/blaspheming.

Yeah, no crazed conservativism there. No wonder I rebelled so hard in high school.

yes, a VERY popular one in berkeley too. and i think they're purposely trying to be blasphemous.

I've got one that says:
"Only sheep need a shepherd".

Oorgo, that's it exactly. I thought I was the only one. I've become quite the agnostic since then.
And Simon, exactly too. Only I thought Jesus was a carpenter. Or was it a capricorn. Whatever.
Religion scares me anymore.
Actually the only religion I can kind of even get behind at all is maybe native american which is based on earth/sun worship mostly, (broad definition), and is the only religion that has not been used as an excuse to fight a war.
They fought for honor, land/range areas, booty, tribal differences etc, but not because "you don't believe in MY god, so I must kill you."
Amazing how all that religion down your throat works huh?

Did I mention that my poor car gets keyed pretty regularly? So much for christian tolerance. Makes me feel like dragging the key down the side of some hypocrite's bourge-mobile with the 'fish' sticker on the back - you know, the one that's actually a vagina symbol co-opted from pagans. Ostentatious displays of piety are against god's law, anyway - it amazes me how atheists tend to know a lot more about religeon than those who practise it.

There was a church in my city that had one of those cheap do-it-yourself signs out front and it said, and I swear to God I'm not lying: "The truth doesn't need justification." In other words "I believe it, why question that?".

Most of the churches here that have that kind of sign in the front has something to make you feel guilty, or unworthy. I hate that. On the other hand, the jiffy lube has a sign in the front that says "All you need is lube." I like that. I can get behind that.
