I've even resorted to sticking my tongue out at people. Never mind the fact that I'm almost 30. But I find it much more comical than directing them to heaven with my middle finger and with much less guilt.

They had a nice parking garage and there were open spots right near the building, even though we were running late. We really thought the church was going out of its way to welcome visitors.... nope. when we got out of the service we realized that no one took these spots because they were virtually impossible to get out of. We waited 40 minutes (that is no hyperbole, we timed it) to get out of the parking spot and another 15 to get out of the lot....never went back to that church.

I know that even the parking lot at my church can get a bit crazy, and our volunteers do their very best. I do agree with you Jon, and would add this: "There is also no such thing as a Christian in traffic" Road rage affects us all. This is hilarious.

In my experience, those that display them either drive very, very slowly and take a verrrrrry long time to make their mind up at intersections, or they put boot to pedal and obviously believe that Jesus died to save them from having observe road laws.
