"When Claudette Soden put up a sign asking motorists to beep for Jesus outside her business in Naugatuck, Conn., fellow business owner Phil Young took exception. He thought it smacked of religious intolerance, so he erected his own sign."

I'd honk twice for Satan.

it also proves that atheists (or at least non-christians) are more creative.

When ever someone starts a sentence that way, all I can think is:

I'd hit that.

And considering how smart & cute Phil is, it's all the more appropriate.

But seriously, look at their signs. His is so much better than hers. If you were to pick # of honks based on quality of the signs, you'd pretty much have to go with 2.

Her sign is so craptastic. He died for her sins, and that's the best sign she can make?

what would be the point of getting people to "beep for Christ" other than to annoy nearby home and business owners? Does Jesus respond to car horns now?

I lived in that town for 10 years. I almost got a tattoo there, while I was with a friend. They're good guys. Plus, their sign is way cooler.

Am I the only one who automatically reads 'beep' as 'swearword deleted?'

I'd be totally down with an Easter fuck for Christ.

Religious intolerance

His sign is great... but on a more serious note, I don't see how her sign could be viewed as "religious intolerance".

She's using her First Amendment rights, as is he.

If anyone attacked either of them, or tore down their signs, that would be intolerance.

I'm guessing his "religious intolerance" jab was meant to be sarcastic considering the sign he made.
