Reply to "New car tags"

What possesses people to stick God's name on the tail end of their car? I prefer having God INSIDE the car with me. Eventually we'll be seeing those car tags (like all the others) rusting and rotting in a junk yard stuck to some gutted, burned, and/or demolished piece of junk. But not only have some decided that the tail end of a vehicle is an appropriate place to stick God's name, we have the audacity to tell God "whom to bless." God is an inclusive God - He loves everyone (even though we don't). The "new" car tag, in my humble opinion, would be slightly less "vain" if the blessing included all of God's creation . . . not just for the ones we like. This need some people have to plaster God's name on as many of their tangible material goods as possible is not unlike the ridiculous notion that whomever flies the biggest American flag is the most patriotic. Perhaps if some of this external, garish, loud, sometimes tasteless advertising were to take root within one's heart, soul, spirit, or whatever it could actually MEAN something. In the meantime, please drive cautiously . . . especially the tailgaters. We might be bringing the concept of using God's name in vain to a whole new level.
