Two cars are waiting at a stoplight. The light turns green, but the man in front doesn’t notice it. A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them. She begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn’t move. The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash.

The light turns yellow. The woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams curses at the man. The man, hearing the commotion, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red. The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection.

As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman. The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening. After she shuts off the engine, the policeman orders her to exit her car with her hands up. She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place her hands on her car. She turns, places her hands on the car roof and quickly is cuffed and hustled into the patrol car. She is too bewildered by the chain of events to ask any questions and is driven to the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects.

He hands her the bag containing her things, and says, “I’m really sorry for this mistake, but you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping that guy off, and cussing a blue streak at the car in front of you. Then I noticed the “What Would Jesus Do” and “Follow Me to Sunday School” bumper stickers, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally I assumed you stole the car.
 
That's why I don't pay any attention to what people "advertise". Most of the time it's just for show...

Ain't THAT the truth? Most of the time, you have to know someone for awhile before you see their "real" self. Quite often, it's not their "show" self, but a much less attractive self.

In my area it is more than just for show.

Many disreputable small business owners and contractors display the fish emblem as a way of "hooking" customers into believing they are honest.
 
On some cop shows I noticed that some of the cars the police stop for drug dealing have a
SAY NO TO DRUGS bumper sticker on the back of their cars.

True, I remember this one lady inparticular who use to come in my office and she tell me about all the good things God had done for her. And we'd discuss different things about church, Jesus, etc. She was a real sweet lady. Well, she had a bill that she thought was too high (and of coase it's always our fault when people use more water than usual).

Everything was checked and it all came down to she had to pay the bill. This lady completely flipped, lol. I mean she was cussing and fussing. It was b**ch this, and b**ch that. I just stood there not believing the words that were coming from this ladies mouth, lol. When I could finally get a word in I asked her, is this the same mouth that always talks about how good God is to you....LOL. (Ok so I said it kind of sarcastically) She left me with a two short words that I could tell came from the heart, lol. Me and the my co worker just looked at each other and laughed.
 
Just proves that it's not enough to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than buying a piano makes you a pianist.
