Repeal the Second Amendment Bumper Sticker

jesus-gunThe 2nd Amendment is a disaster and should be repealed.  The NRA and gun lobby are doing a huge disservice to our country. IMHO, their actions and positions are immoral.  For the various reasons that I think this way please read:
Hey Ted Nugent…Guns are not toys

I briefly considered making a bumper sticker that read, “Repeal the 2nd Amendment”.

I do not have any doubt that it would be the end of my vehicle, or at least the end of my vehicle looking nice.  The gun “rights” nuts would not respect my right to free speech.

And yes I am an agnostic, but the Jesus that I read about in the New Testament was a socialist and anti-establishmentarian.  The likelihood of Jesus being a Republican matches the likelihood of Ayn Rand voting Democrat.  I personally believe that Jesus would throw the NRA out of Congress along with the money changers aka lobbyist.

So it goes.

The 3 Abrahamic religions explained

This is one of the best succinct explanations that I have seen.

It is from this blog   DJ Allyn – The Soundtrack for my Life

The following is an accurate Description of the three Abrahamic Religions:

There are three major religions in this world — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  All of them worshiping the same God — the God of Abraham.

Each has their own religious book that outlines their story, their history, and rules to live by.

Think of each of them like a movie.  The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel.  Then the Qu’ran comes out, and it reconstructs the last one like it never happened.  there is still Jesus, but he is not the main character any more, and the messiah hasn’t shown up yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignore the sequels, (Matrix Trilogy) Christians think you need to watch the first two but the third movie doesn’t count. (The Godfather Trilogy) Muslims think the third one was the best (The Starwar prequels), and Mormons like the second one so much that they started writing fan fiction that doesn’t fit with ANY of the series canon.

 

Of course, the author of this seems to have forgotten Hinduism and Buddhism which are also major world religions, but they do come from a different movie studio.
