"Jesus, Take The Wheel" Day | Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/JesusTakeTheWheelDay)


On March 31, 2013, Christians all over the world will take to the streets in their automobiles. Relying only on the divine protection of Jesus Christ, they will prove that the Savior of Man will not abandon them when they remove their hands from the steering wheels of their cars for a total of 5 minutes. They will not be at a red light, or a stop sign, they will be on the highways. This is TRUE
FAITH. Jesus Christ does not abandon his children, and with the current state of the world, it's time to show Jesus that we have not abandoned him. Do not come to this page telling us that we are crazy and that we are going to die. Jesus is our Shepherd, and he will tend to his flock. Please join us and show that you are NOT AFRAID to place your life in the hands of Jesus Christ.

Sounds reasonable enough.
Who here will participate?

Isn't the world supposed to end on December 21, 2012?

You're mixing your religions dear. :)

Christians are not stupid. You probably made that page.

Note the accompanying photo shows a straight road, no other traffic, and a flat grassy field on each side.

On behalf of liability investigators everywhere I support this idea. I won't be participating directly, but I will be participating after the fact.

Christians are not stupid. Thanks for your bigoted point of view LOL.

Considering it's still mostly winter conditions here on that date it should be interesting.

You're right -- same here! Usually sleet and snow-rain mix that time of year.

Thanks for your bigoted point of view LOL.

It's bigoted for a Christian to say Christians are not stupid? In what world?

You really don't read anything before putting your virtual foot in your mouth do you?

I may need someone to help me with all the extra work. You in?

It's bigoted for a Christian to say Christians are not stupid? In what world? Maybe bigot isn't the best word. What do you call it when someone believes that mere membership in a particular group makes everyone in that group better than others?

Surely there are stupid Christians? There are stupid people in any group you can label. People are individuals my friend. It's a wise lesson to learn.

You in?Uh no. I'll leave that part to the pros such as yourself. :) I'll do a work-from-home day. Being geeky web-connected has its privileges.

I'm retired now (and have time on my hands). My qualifications for this would be that I was a State Farm bodily-injury secretary for two years, using a manual typewriter. Also, I don't mind seeing blood.

Anointed? Superior? Chosen? Wait, that's liberals.

Yes oh wise one there are stupid people of all stripes. Unlike the committed (or should be) leftists that wanted to levitate the Denver Mint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGha6OUOAc4), this page is obviously a hoax. The only alleged 'Christians' you might find participate come from the Westboro Baptist Church.

You're hired. Do you have a fake mustache and a fedora?

this page is obviously a hoax. Ah, you are one of the smart ones. :) But your faith must be weak to not allow your god to watch over you and keep you safe.

Ah, you are one of the smart ones. :)

Glad you finally admitted that. :p


But your faith must be weak to not allow your god to watch over you and keep you safe.

God never said to abandon common sense, nor did He abandon the laws of nature... like what happens to a car when the forces of gravity take over after it goes over a cliff.

P.S. It's just a metaphor, and a Carrie Underwood song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus,_Take_the_Wheel).

But yet he can levitate to the sky?? Weird.

He's God, he can do what he wants.

I guess he can choose to let people die who have worshipped him on their knees.

I fully love and trust the lord.
However, I also believe Christ when he said 'thou shalt not tempt the lord'

So no. I will not be participating, nor will I be driving that day, if this is even true.

I guess he can choose to let people die who have worshipped him on their knees.

Everyone dies, didn't you know that?

Has anyone stopped to look at the date of this piece, this "event" has already happened, so if it had been a catastrophe we would already know but since it is months ago and we are being told now to be mocked I would say to karma, be careful, what goes around comes around.

March 31, 2013 has come and gone?

Wait so is this for real?

(Goes off to charge camcorder)

Only in your dreams

Let me see, hold my coffee in one hand, my McMuffin in one hand, and talk on the cell phone with one hand, ( wait don't have that many hands, most of use drive without holding onto the wheel all the time

Natural selection at it's best.

Ever heard of using your knees, besides most cars have automatic centreing

Coming from someone who is agnostic. Can some of you indulge me for a minute regarding a question I have.

Say this was legit. Would God actually help them? It seems as if they're forcing Gods hand in the matter? Am I wrong? Just a thought that popped into my head!

Say this was legit. Would God actually help them? No, it's a suicide mission.

God doesn't protect you against stupidity but cars can be steered with knees and they have automatic centreing

God doesn't protect you against stupidity but cars can be steered with knees and they have automatic centreingThen Jesus isn't taking the wheel is he? You'd be basically saying that you don't believe that he'll watch over you and protect you.

My guess is that it is just someone 'having a shot' at religion.

Then Jesus isn't taking the wheel is he? You'd be basically saying that you don't believe that he'll watch over you and protect you.

What I am saying is he does protect me from the stupidity of others, but if I make a choice to be stupid I will probably get a warning but I'm on my own, it's called free will. I have not been involved in a serious accident in years and even then no harm came to me

Same here. I've never been involved in a serious accident. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with religious affiliation.

My guess is that it is just someone 'having a shot' at religion.Your guess is likely correct but I suspect some actually will believe it and try it.

Nope. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm a diligent good driver. I take responsibility for both the good and the bad. I don't believe in luck, I'm not superstitious.

You are a rare breed then all we got around here are yahoo's

Liberum Arbitrium.. Humans are responsible for their actions and the consequences of their actions .

So praying is pointless then as well.

This depends upon who you ask. Without a relationship with God, we call him Jesus around here, you had better be sure what you are asking for lines up exactly with his Word

So praying is pointless then as well.

I believe that would be what you call a red herring.

You don't see a disparity between praying for something and "humans are responsible for their actions and the consequences of their actions"?

You don't see a disparity between praying for something and "humans are responsible for their actions and the consequences of their actions"?

No, I see you changing the subject. The fact that we are responsible for our actions does not render prayer irrelevant.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 6

The fact that we are responsible for our actions does not render prayer irrelevant.So those prayers circles or request for prayers for a sick person, or people praying before sports events for them to dominate, those are not in conflict with responsibility for own actions? Just wondering.

Just religion in action, if you pray for a sick person the Biblical method is to lay hands on them or anoint them with oil, Christianity is a hands on relationship. This idea is therefore unbiblical and outside God's Word, just more religion

Who here will participate?Hello NK:

Not me... I took part in National Dance Day a while back.. I prayed to Jesus to make me a good dancer.. Didn't work.

Now, you want me to ask him to drive my car??

So those prayers circles or request for prayers for a sick person, or people praying before sports events for them to dominate, those are not in conflict with responsibility for own actions? Just wondering.

First of all, praying before a sporting event to "dominate" the opponent is probably rare and it's misguided. I've never, ever heard such a prayer at a sporting event so I'm going to call that another fallacy.

Generally it's a prayer for safety for the most part and I'm positive God answers those prayers on a regular basis. Doesn't mean you won't get bumps and bruises, that's a consequence for your actions. But it could be worse. So you got cancer from smoking, you're going through the consequences but it doesn't mean God won't grant a positive outcome.

For example, I bet Mark Martin had God on his side Sunday...

I acknowledged the laws of nature several pages ago. Bwa ha ha!!

Momentum carried him into that wall, aerodynamics, gravity, a lot of forces were in play... nice scientific stuff. He still crashed hard, but who's to say God didn't keep that car from smashing into that barrier a foot closer to the front of the car?

Me. I was watching.. Mark Martin is MY man... I saw his car approaching the wall.. I WILLED it not to hit, and it didn't. Who's to say that I didn't keep him safe?

Oh but it did hit. And if you were a god I wouldn't be kicking your a$$ in baseball again. :p

Where was God?

You think He left?

He saved the atheist and not the Christian?

So much for personal responsibility again. Apparently we are all controlled by a being in the sky.

I was under the impression God loved ALL his children? I guess I don't know. I'm not sure I even belong on this thread...

Yes It God loves all his Children but in order to enjoy his blessings you need a relationship with him. Not everything I do would necessarily please my father, but if we are close we can work it out.

He saved the atheist and not the Christian?

Do you have a problem with that? I don't.

So much for personal responsibility again. Apparently we are all controlled by a being in the sky.

Presence = control? You need a dictionary?

Apparently that isn't so. I have zero relationship with any god and I seem to be protected.

Presence = control? You need a dictionary?
So he's just 'there' but never does anything? Weird.

And you're a parent?

And you're a parent?
I'm an awesome parent at that! I am active in my parenting. I show them stuff, teach them stuff, take them places, mend their wounds, etc... I don't even require that my kids get on their knees and worship me. Cool eh?

But you never let them do their own thing?

Sure I do.
If you're equating this to your god, this'll be interesting.

Equating? No, just demonstrating the obvious you can't seem to recognize.

Ok, explain the obvious I am missing.

So you are active in parenting, "show them stuff, teach them stuff, take them places, mend their wounds, etc." but you still let them do their own thing.

What's the difference?

Do you actually hear voices in your head from your god? Does he come down and pick you up after you fell of your bike?

Sigh... the issue was "Presence = control?" Obviously presence does not equal control.
