Signs you may be in the Bible Belt








This sticker was especially funny because it was on a box for a totally innocuous free women's newspaper. They don't mention what percent of murders are committed by happily married folks...

or the percentage of Bible thumping men who preach family values in church yet cheat on their wives.

I can look past the british spelling of offence, but the real offense is the use of 'a' instead of 'an' as the article for adultery.

Interestingly, the adultery rate is something like 30-40% (Most certainly above 22%), so adulterers are apparently even LESS likely to commit murder than a faithful person. Whoever wrote that particular piece of propaganda failed statistics!

I didn't think I was in the Bible belt, but on the bus the other day I saw a woman wearing an "I *heart* Jesus" head scarf -- in English (like those socks...).

Great post. I really need to start bringing my camera with me more often. As someone unfortunate enough to actually live in the bible belt, I see this sort of thing every day.

I thought at first the bumper sticker said, "yo mama was pro-life, Darwin", suggesting that Darwin should have been aborted. I'm sure someone out there has a sticker like that.

OMG. These collections of Bible Beltisms are killing me. Better than the phonetic menu at the Chinese restaurant.

If only they could craft a sentence that wasn't rife with grammatical errors.

Scott, you are braver than I. We considered going into those religious megastores, but were afraid it'd be too creepy. That, or we'd die in convulsive fits of laughter right there on the spot...
