Holy Crap: Tail Lights Edition
Sometimes I wonder what we would do without the Super DeLux Brand Christians sending out daily devil warnings.
Okay, that’s a lie. I never wonder about that. Dream about it, sure, but never wonder. I think we’d be just fine without them. Maybe better, I dunno.
Case in point:
If you go to Memphis, Tennessee, there is a grown woman there named Robyn Wilkins who is outraged, outraged I tell you, that the devil hisownself is worshipped on public school busses.
You need proof, oh ye of little faith?
Robyn has proof. She took a picture.
In case this is not perfectly obvious to you, the red star lights near the bottom of the bus are not stars. No, sireeee. Those suckers are a pentagram and pentagrams are a sign of the devil.
Robyn Wilkins snapped a photo when she noticed the shape of an upside down, five-pointed star outlined in the brake lights of a school bus that was stopped in Cordova.
“Anyone who fears a God, if not God and Jesus Christ, should be outraged,” Wilkins said.
She says Christians should be outraged that a symbol that looks like a pentagram would be allowed in the design of a vehicle used to transport children to public schools.
And just to make her point very clear, she adds,
“If you can’t put a cross on there, you cannot put a pentagram on it,” Wilkins said.
Yeah. Jesus said so.
Holy cow, y’all, don’t let Robin come to Texas.
We have pentagrams everywhere.
Thelma even has one tattooed on her butt because she enjoys mooning people from Oklahoma. I wonder if it would even things out with the Lord if she put a cross on the other cheek?
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
Doesn’t a pentagram require a circle to touch the points?
1You mean like the ones all over our state capitol, John?
2“an upside down, five-pointed star” That’s sorta like saying an upside down ball. Who decided where the top is?
3Thelma has one tattooed on her butt! Awesome!! Any chance of replacing the leopard print reminder that this page ain’t loading with her tattoo?
Tennessee needs the ACA more than they realize, starting with proper medications for Robyn Wilkins.
4The Tennessee state flag has 3 (count ’em, 3) pentagrams on it, and two of them are upside down, or nearly so. I guess they’ll have to change those to crosses real soon now.
5I guess she never made it to the fourth verse of “Silent Night”
Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
Just goes to show you, a star can be followed by wise men, as well as an old fool driving behind a bus.
6It is a pentagram, and upside down, too. A pagan pentagram always has one point up.
7So what’s the problem MS Wilkins sees here?
I’m guessing Robyn spends her weekends hunting witches. Goodness, she might even go looking for them in Broomfield, CO, which by its very name must suggest to her a real nest of ’em.
8Robyn needs to get a life, or a job, or a brain – whichever comes first. She just ain’t fulfilling her destiny by being besotted with LED lights. And, Robyn, all of our school buses around here have more LED lights in each of them little rear flashers than yours do. Guess your school system couldn’t afford the larger LED units! Nannanannabooboo!
9Jesus spoke often about tail lights, I believe. He was against them…..also turn signals and shiny hubcaps.
10I agree with maggie, and it wouldn’t hurt Robyn to read another book, too. Or maybe even the one she thinks she’s already read. Dang, it must be exhausting running around looking for dumb stuff to get all outraged about.
As for the star, a five-pointed star with one point at the bottom in a circle is sometimes a Satanist symbol (or else it’s just a cigar). The same star with one point up in a circle is sometimes a Pagan symbol. The Satanists reverse the Pagan symbol and also reverse the Christian cross. In case there’s any doubt, Pagans aren’t Satanists because they don’t believe in Satan. But Robyn thinks that everybody who doesn’t think exactly the way she does is a Satanist, so sucks-boo to her and I hope her blood pressure makes her pop her clogs so the world average of sanity will go up a little.
11Fear God? Why would anyone “Fear God”? God is pure love, the Bible tells us. There is no reason whatsoever to fear Pure Love. Ben Franklin said beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to have a good life. Why should anybody fear a loving God?
12I bet she could get a job doing house cleaning. She needs something to do.
13W.C., I think the Pagan opinion is that chocolate is proof that the Goddess loves us and wants us to be happy.
But then people like Robyn Wilkins come along. I don’t know who’s responsible for them.
14A CAT scan of her brain might manifest a whole slew of Satanist configurations which, though God-given, might cause the doctor to administer high potency meds for this woman, or cut the offending shapes out to make her a better Christian.
15In the meantime, the school district needs a PFA to keep Robyn from abusing the busses.
A five pointed star is NOT a pentagram. No circle touching all 5 points.
16My favorite pentagram is the badge for the Texas Rangers. It is stamped on and cut from a Mexican silver 5 peso piece and has been since 1962, returning to an early tradition of the Rangers. You can still see the coin image on the back. When the Mexican economy tanked in the 1980s and ’90s, the Rangers went and bought all the pesos they could to have a guaranteed future supply.
You can read about Ranger badges here: http://www.texasranger.org/history/HistoricBadges.htm. The part about the Mexican pesos is at the bottom.
17Taking a photo of a school bus is enough to get you arrested for potentially stalking school kids in some locales.
18Mayhaps K Watkins and his ilk can ship over to Tenn. with their little shootie guns blazing and take out them there taillights. If it is meant to be no kids will be hurt while riding and ducking.
19Hey, I have a great idea!
Let’s show Robyn a satellite photo of the Pentagon!
20I swear that some people will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to get their names in print. So, our US flag is one big old homage to Satan, amirite?
21Lots of pentagrams on Air Force insignia!
22Help Me. I’m beginning my 16th year here in Music City, USA….it gets worse each year…and ya’ll think the Texas Lege is full of Morans, get a brian…
23The pentagram was NEVER the symbol of satan!!!
24It was again another pagan symbol (like all of xmas) stolen by xtians for their perverted use.
Besides as other have already stated a 5 pointed star is not a pentagram, this woman is not only unstable, she aint all that intelligent either!!
I’m still waiting for one of these Kristianists to notice that the GOP DELIBERATELY flipped the patriotic stars upside down on their elephant logo just about the time Dubya got in. Coincidence? I think not!!!
25WC, read the Old Testament and you will know why believers could have a reason to fear God. I figure God will either get around to smiting me or not. We’ll see.
26Look at the GOP elephant the stars are upside down! What does that mean?
27Henry, given the all too sad number of believers perverting their God, stand in line and take a number. You should be safe for a century or two. However, if anyone in front of you turns into wine and bread, you might want to consider allowing a few of them cuts in line.
28Correcting W.C. above:
The actual quote from Ben Franklin referred to wine, and to the miracle at Cana (John chapter 2):
In an undated letter to the Abbe Morellet, Franklin wrote (this is a translation of the original French): “We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!”
Beer, schmeer. Give me a good Pinot any day.
29Show her a vaginal ultrasound of Dick Cheney’s soul. Someone from the largest state checking out the next largest state? Hoary marmot.
30There’s an old saying: If you go looking for the worst in people, you’ll find it. I guess it’s the same when you go looking for Satan…
Does she know The Church Lady? Could it be…… SATAN!!!!!???
Isn’t that special.
31Twain @10-
Yeah, but Jeebus liked glasspak mufflers, pipes, big chrome exhuast tips, mag wheels and suicide knobs…oh, and dingleberrys hangin’ from the rearview mirror.
Rhea @ 14-
“But then people like Robyn Wilkins come along. I don’t know who’s responsible for them.”
How about: Pre-conception gamma ray gonad mutations…or “Better Living Through Chemistry” (meth, pesticide, whatever).
Will we ever find the lower bound of ‘Murakin stoopidity???
32I don’t think there is a lower bound to be found.
33Superstition. Nothing but.
34If we are going to remove all the five-pointed stars, let’s remove all the crosses in the name of fairness, highway intersection signs, railroad crossing signs, and especially all road signs that contain a lower case t.
35Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the ass that took them to Egypt, sometimes a brake light is just a brake light and a star is just a star.
36I bet no piece of toast is safe around this woman: http://blog.f1000.com/2014/09/25/seeing-jesus-in-toast-the-2014-ig-nobels/
37“The Tennessee state flag has 3 (count ‘em, 3)”…
38Well, i didn’t read every post here word for word so this may be redundant, but… the flag of the hew ess hay is bristling with them. not exactly point down but certainly leaning a bit to the left.
I wouldn’t hire that woman to clean MY house. She’d be screaming her stupid head off at what she found. (First, that i’m not a good housekeeper. Second, that I write science fiction and fantasy, voted for Obama twice, am an Episcopalian (which she probably thinks isn’t Christian–I’ve run into that in Texas), see nothing wrong with gay marriage, have firearms but don’t carry them every time I leave the house, and…so on. She wouldn’t like me; I wouldn’t like her.
