It has been my experience that "Baby on Board!" and "Child on Board!"
stickers make for far more dangerous drivers than the christian
stickers do.  Just today a "baby on board" type with the baby crawling
between the front and back seats, up into the back windshield, and back
pulled out in front of me on a highway when I was doing the speed limit
of 55.  She was doing about 20 when she pulled out.  I almost rear ended
her and the baby we are all supposed to make special allowance for nearly
became road pizza.

Most of the chrisitan stickers I have seen have been on cars of old people
(remember, these are the ones I have personally seen.  No flames, ok?)
who are usually far worse drivers anyway.

Besides.  If they really believe they are going to a better life than this
when they die, why not drive bad?  Might speed up the getting there :-)

JUST KIDDING, OK?
