crap, a model T and religon thread, LOL
Amen!
All kidding aside to my uneducated eyes that aint a bad deal on that plug.Shame he aint got a set of 4.
Mack
he does have a set of 4 click on the link then click on (other items) you can see all his listed auctions.
And all auctions have the same sermon...
Do I know Jesus Christ? What kind of question is that? His name isn't in the phone book. I guess he must have something to do with some of the businesses around here. I see him hanging out on the outside of some of them. He doesn't seem to be too interested in the local Mosque or Synagogue. Does he own a Model T? Would he be able to help me build an addition onto my garage? What would that cost? What about repairing a cupboard? I have one shelf that's really loose. If he has a T what does he use for oil? Does it have a waterpump? What kind of timer does he have on it, or is he running a distributor? Where does he buy his rebuilt coils. How are they setup on a stroboscope or on a hand cranked coil tester? No I don't want your spark plugs. Or your religious drivel.
Aaaaahhh,.........Mike? Aaaaahhh,.........let me see,........how could I say this? Well,.....aaaahhh,.........oh, never mind.......
Reminds me of an old George Carlin joke where he sings a song.
"Drivin' fer Jesus!
Drivin' fer Jesus!
Makin' all the lights!
Look at this Jesus - right turn!
(Doesn't translate well to the printed page. Forget I brought it up.)
I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
I can drive a hundred miles an hour
As long as I've got that divine power
Riding on the dashboard of my car.
There has been some discussion about what kind of car Jesus drove, and someone has figured out that it must have been a Honda, although He was reluctant to say so. In John 12:49, Jesus says, "For I did not speak of my own accord..."
I forget. Is that Hud or Cool Hand Luke? As to what Jesus drove: Some one joked about the Pope's car. Called it a Christler.
Someone has bid over $77.00.
Sorry I didn't say which auction. Someone has bid over $77.00 for the set of 4, he has listed.
Sooner or later, whether its in a fox hole or layin in a bed eat up with cancer or when that time does come NOS Model t spark plugs really wont make any difference. Just an opinion.
There's a whole webpage with some clever Biblical car references:
http://www.elmo.ch/private/Stories-from-a-great-country/what-would-jesus-drive/h ighrock-web-page/index.html
It was Cool Hand Luke. There's more to the song but I don't remember it. It has something to do with Old St Joe magnetizing the radio. John I believe your right. I never would have been able to kill sappers in the wire with Champion X spark plugs.
John, I agree, a fearful thing to be placed in the hands of a living God. We all will face him weather we believe or not. KB
I had to much happen around the time of my mothers passing last year to believe I am the product of a couple germs that got happy a million years ago.
I have to admit,that is a unique ebay lister to put that on his ads.But,it is a free country.
Strange irony.
This man offers a lump of iron for $77. over which we drool, and a free gift which no amount of gold or riches can purchase, yet we scoff!
Sadly, many of us who need Him the most desire Him the least.
I didn't post the ad to scoff, I posted it to combine Model T's and religion together. Your choice of belief or dis-belief is an individual one.
Many religions have various gods: moon, sun, harvest, and the unknown god. I guess that's a way to keep all the bases covered.
I've seen other ads where the seller starts out by explaining that he's a former Marine....like that's going to influence my purchase choice, any more than my belief in Christ.
I'm truly sorry if I have offended you William or any one else on the forum. I sincerely did not mean to.
My comment was a purely a philosophic observation on the nature of mankind in general.
Our beliefs are the most personal issues we have to wrestle with in life. And no man, certainly not me, has the right to criticize them.
Gee, I don't know William, if that spark plug is the same as a Champion "X", and if you hold it a certain way, an "X" is sort of a cross, which could be a reminder that He is everywhere........maybe that's why a Model T runs so well with Champion "X" plugs.
John Semprez - Brilliant! I wish I had a way with words like you have! Comparing your post in this thread to mine should make that very obvious.
John - I was writing at the same time you were. I must repeat; I certainly wish I had your way with words!
All other issues aside, it's interesting that a man in Arkansas, who appears to be a strong believer, spells 'Saviour' the British way. I wonder what that means......
Listen up Mike you gall darned heathen !! troop

Thanks Jeff. Oh by the way I was a heathen until 1982, then I was a catholic. (not much difference) Now I belong to a new ministry; "Our Lady of the throbbing vein".
I don't care if it rains or freezes
'Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car.
Comes in colors, pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it with you when you travel far.
Get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sittin' on a
Pedestal of abalone shell.
Goin' 90, I ain't scar-ied
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assurin' me that I won't go to Hell.
John, you did not offend me. not in the slightest.
Folks,
This stream is basically rude and obnoxious and has no business on this forum.
People hold their beliefs sacred whether they are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or whatever. Let's try to be a bit civil when treading on religion. I may not agree with your faith choices or lack thereof but do my best not to mock the beliefs of others.
Walt
Easy Walt. Take it easy. It's not like any of us spit in the holy water. And I figure I've got every right to portray my disbelief as you've got to show your belief. Oh and by the way, I hold that right as sacred. I guess you might say I'm whatever. So please stop being rude and obnoxious.
Mike,
We are all welcome to our own beliefs whatever they may be. This is a public forum, no need to gratuitously show our butts.
Walt
For a country founded on the motto "In God we trust" we have traveled a long way in the wrong direction. The advice is far more valuable then the spark plug.
"We are all welcome to our own beliefs whatever they may be. This is a public forum, no need to gratuitously show our butts."
Ah yah, the pot gratuitously calling the kettle black. Make up your mind walt. In one post your censuring us and in another one your defending this as a public forum. So put your butt back in and think before you leap.
His name is mentioned quite often in my garage, but usually when things aren't going well and not in prayer.
Hey Mike... I used to pay-to-pray as a catholic. Then I went to military school and after a forced 2 mile march through town at 0700 Sunday morning to church which began with confession (whats a 13 y.o. have to confess?) the priest asked me if I got "feelings" looking at playboy magazines. Hmmm. The light went on. Im just glad I wasnt a band member; they had to wear kilts!
NOW, Im a one man band. troop
The country was NOT founded n the motto "In God We Trust". It was founded on the motto "E Pluribus Unum" which means "From Many - One" or "Out of Many - One" or "One from Many" depending on where you look for the translation. All basically mean the same thing. It refers to the individual states coming together to form one union. Unfortunately while it was used as the defacto motto from 1776 and is what is on the Seal of the United States it was never officially adopted by law. In God We Trust was adopted as the official motto by law in 1956 during the McCarthy era to differentiate us from the godless communist countries.
I agree, we have traveled a long way in the wrong direction.
First politics and now religion
Is nothing sacred here?
One of the best foods I cook is meatloaf. I make it simple but I cover it with some of the most delicious sauce you'll ever eat. It's a recipe I worked out myself and people really like it. Between my Chili and my meatloaf I'm know as a pretty fair cook. Now I'm going to try to master dumplings and then homemade egg noodles. When you don't have some old bag in the kitchen trying to tell you how to do things, it's pretty surprising what you can come up with. Oh I forgot, I make a mean pan fried potato. I call them Model T pinions.
The other day I was driving home from work, stressed about life and all of its struggles, then I saw a sign. It said Need help.......Call Jesus. I felt the stress melt away and made the call.
A Mexican showed up at my house with a lawnmower!
The only thing I think about when I see this religion stuff is my Sunday school teacher who tried to molest me when I was about 11 or 12.
He didn't get anywhere...I ran like hell.
I put it out of my mind for years and didn't think of it.
But now the older I get the more it pisses me off.
Haven't been to church since.
My guards go up when I hear "I'm a Christian. You can trust me."
No PJ on my dash. I have this instead.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)
Gary - my dash doesn't have room for that kind of stuff. It's full of junk with just enough room for the defroster to clear the windows. It's a good think Model T's don't have dashes.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." "(Joshua 24:15)"
And that's commendable. And in my house I respect, but I don't fear the Great Spirit, Our Father.
Oh Great Spirit, Our Father, help us and teach us in the way of the truth; and keep me and my family and my tribe on our true father's path, so that we may be in good condition in our minds and in our bodies. Teach all of the little ones in Your Way. Make peace on all the world. We thank you for the sun and the good summer weather again; and we hope they will bring good crops of grass for the animals and things to eat for all peoples.
