And thus Shadow joins the ranks of Tweety Bird and Calvin, advertising someone's opinions on their vehicles even if it makes zero sense to their original character.

    Even if I read it as it's supposed to be read, I have no clue what they're trying to say.

    And when you pray, be not like the pretenders who like to stand in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets to pray, that they may be seen by the children of men, and truly I say to you, they have received their reward.

    Matthew 6:5

    It doesn't need to make sense, it's only a peacock-like display to show how much they don't know their own holy text.

    It is suppose to be saying that being sinful makes it impossible for you to go to heaven. That because of the stain of sin you aren't allowed in God's presence.

    The dumb part is it shows the owner of the vehicle doesn't understand their own theology as it has absolutely nothing to do with sin and all about relequeshing ones self to a god. You can sin all you want and as long as you believe (and possibly do works) you get in. It's why the religion is morally bankrupt. A repentant serial killer goes to heaven while a kind and generous atheist goes to hell.

    Don't forget unbaptized kids, right into the fire if they die

    This is a real lose/lose situation for Christians. If unbaptized babies do go to Heaven...then the merciful thing to do would be to kill the baby as soon as they're born. Otherwise, you risk that they'll grow up to reject Christ and spend an eternity in Hell.

    There is church doctrine that says there is an out for those who don't know about Jesus. So if you were never informed you are safe.

    I then go back to the Christians who bring their religion out of theis head and make it visible to the world and inform them they have now damned me to hell. Had they kept it to themselves I would have been fine.

    Shadow praying? Shadow is like the Sonic character not only likely to be an atheist, but he's probably on Reddit right now talking about how euphoric he is.

    Stupid word positioning aside; the message is "Do whatever you want, God will stop you if you're not supposed to. If don't get stopped God willed it."

    What a way to live, assuming all your actions are divinely ordained otherwise you couldn't do them. I don't really understand how that thought can be consistent with the concept of sin though...

    Anyway, I shouldn't try to bring logic into religion.

    Meh they know it ain't like that, as with alot of religious folks their narcissism is the primary motivator, the religious text is the excuse

    I read this as entirely the opposite. Something along the lines of "God won't put you into bad situations you can't make it through". Similar to "If you're going through hell, keep going"

    The kind of small comforts Christians tend to seek out when dealing with major hardships in life, like loved ones passing away. "Why would God put me through this?" Because if you have faith he'll take you through and out the other side.

    It's more logically consistent than anything else I've heard. God created the universe knowing every action that would be taken with that particular setup. He chose that one though, so it must be the one that caused everything he wanted. He could have chosen from literally an infinite number of possible options, and he can always change the starting conditions to create any result, so whatever happens he knew was going to happen.

    Those same people who believe he had this power will say something about free will. However, he isn't omniscient if he doesn't know which choice you will freely make, and set things up so you'll make the choice he wants. It just doesn't make sense.

    I refuse to believe that a religious decal with a praying Sonic isn't satire.

    In plain English:

    God won't where, can't

    God will never appear (to you), because he can't

    take you his grace, keep you

    Steal his power and keep it for yourself.
