Glad to see you agree.
Seriously, I can hardly go anywhere without seeing someone promoting their religious beliefs. I went out yesterday and saw a guy wearing a hat that said "I LOVE JESUS". I can't drive down the road without seeing a car sporting a "GOT JESUS?" bumper sticker. I can't go to the store without seeing someone wearing a "Jesus is my savior" T-shirt. I was at Disney World and saw a plane skywrite the message "JESUS LOVES YOU". I don't know how many times I've gone into a public restroom and found some stupid religious pamphlet sitting on top of the urinal. I can't tell you how many times I've walked down a street and encountered somebody holding up a sign saying "REPENT!" while they loudly spouted "Jesus died for our sins!". And it's annoying as hell when some sanctimonious pinhead bangs on my door to hand me their religious literature.
Frankly, I don't care what you believe. But when you proclaim what I consider to be nonsensical beliefs as "truth" in a public forum, I'm going to speak up and challenge you to provide evidence that what you're saying is true.
THOR! That means just about every day you experience something that kind of makes you crazy! I'm just imagining, in your shoes, what it feels like to be...bombarded with pressure to love someone that you don't know or care about. It would be like me seeing signs about Vishnu or...Zues or...Apollo! Something that I didn't feel was real, all over people's cars, their faces, their bodies, in public places...wow, you're right that would be so irritating.
Secretly, I don't like any bumper stickers, religious or not. I just find them annoying, cars are cool enough, I don't think anything needs to be added to a vehicle. Hey, have you seen those fake vents people screw onto their cars to make them look expensive, they crack me up. I walked by a car with like three of them and I was laughing so hard I started crying...those things are knee-slappers to me.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
