GOD WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS

I was stopped at a stoplight in Des Moines, Iowa, when I spied this

beauty. Grabbed my Canon G2 and snapped. It's basically unaltered.

...and very nice subject :)

i swear i've seen this same bus in new mexico!

God Moves in Mysterious Ways...

perhaps more ambiguous...

This image makes me feel my sane. Well done~! Nice capture. People are strange..

 

Yes, he does... well seen, well captured, cheers Jana

Thanks for stopping by and your comment.

This is a great shot David and I love the title too. Very good.

Thanks. I'm honored to have you see these.

You KNOW this means we're both certainly going to hell, don't you.

 

But, this image is another reason why I rue myself for not trolling your pictures more often. It is the COMMENTARY that makes this image. The high contrast works, too, as it really enhances the inherent strangeness of this character and his magical mystery tour.

Hey, I wish you trolled my images more often too. I so enjoy your commentary. As for hell, I'm not too afraid. I fear the cessation of life as much as I fear the afterlife. I've always wondered why the deeply religious don't live more recklessly. Worst case is they go to paradise. Now wouldn't that make you disregard any possible earthly consequences? Well now I'm getting carried away. Thanks for looking.

Actually, God doesn't work in mysterious ways, his followers--or those who outwardly claim to--THINK in ways that are a complete mystery to me. Yes, you picked up on their rather STRANGE fear of death. Last weekend, my evangelical church were trying to raise money to build a large fence over their compound in Ethiopia--a huge fence covering the space of four football fields. (As an aside, this is the same range as a hellfire missile, you know, the ones our useless "media" liars and prostitutes tell us killed "at least five people" when they report that it was dropped in a densely populated city "targeting al qaeda".) But, this is by the way.

 

We are talking about the salvation of those who want to go to heaven. The church said they needed that fence for "security", and to buttress this fact, he said that one of the congregation had been killed by a band of muslims for "believing in God" and nothing else. It struck me that this guy didn't understand the irony that he travelled half way around the world to ask another man to give up his religion and follow him to heaven, while locked up behind 10 foot walls, while the person he came to "save" has to walk through a war zone and minefield to come to listen to his message.

I don't want to get started on a rant about religion so I'll just leave it by paraphrasing Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland. Indeed things do just get curiouser and curiouser.
