This bumper sticker has always bothered me......It sounds so..seclusive? When I see it just makes me want to puke. I mean what kind of message is that sending to men who dont love jesus? That they arent a man? It just seems so rude to me. I don't see anywhere in the Bible that says you aren't a man if you don't love Jesus. Maybe it does, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like that. I studied the New and Old testament in College, and dont once remember focusing on the fact that loving Jesus makes you a man. A man to me is a mature male who does what he can to take care of and provide for his family, who loves his family, doesn't act like a child and isn't irresponsible. Sure, I would prefer a man who loves Jesus, but on my list of what makes a man a man, that isn't like the only qualification.
I dunno, I guess it just bothers me all these little "Christian" sayings we have. Some of them seem so demeaning to those who choose not to believe...it's just embarrasing sometimes.
