Jesus v. Satan

No, this isn't a "South Park" episode. It's a story that takes place in my home State of CT.

Honk for Jesus...Honk for Satan.

Jesus and Satan are facing off in a horn-honking version of Armageddon, the Waterbury Republican-American reports.

It began late last month when small-business owner Claudette Soden put up a hand-painted sign soliciting honks for Christ in front of a parking lot she shares with a tattoo parlor on Rubber Avenue in Naugatuck.

Her white "Easter: Beep for Christ" sign prompted Phil Young of No Regrets tattoos to put up a sign of his own. His black placard asked drivers to "Honk twice for ..." followed by a cartoon of a red devil, the paper said.

"His sign is not bothering me, but I know it's bothering Jesus," Soden, who runs Photos Onto DVD, told the Republican-American. "And children are going to pass by that sign and say, 'What is that? It looks like a devil.' And what are parents going to say to that?"

Young sees his addition as a complement to Christ.

"More people have been killed in the name of God than over anything else, and so I don't think people should fight about religion," he said. "Satan is part of the same religion as Christ, so it's a contrast, not a competing religion."

Honks and beeps have filled the air since God and Satan took their stands on Rubber Avenue. And it looks like it isn't going to end anytime soon.

Could be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Satan and Jesus are looking at the scene, arms folded in a disapproving manner.

Jesus sighs.

Satan says, "Yes, we both have idiot followers, don't we?"

Jesus replies, "True, but I love mine."

That whole "more people have been killed" meme is getting a little tiring. Whenever someone says it I am sorry to say that I immediately ignore whatever else they are saying since it usually signals that this person is nothing more than a smug leftist who is doing it for social reasons rather than any committed thought or ideology.
