I'm atheist, but I recognize that it is fellow atheists who have been
the worst villains in history, at least in total numbers. When you
add up Stalin and Pol Pot...
Marx described the church in Germany at the time as "opium." In
modern America, I would say that it is sports that is the opium (GO
TIGERS!), giving people something to feel like winners about when they
are obviously losing in the cold war of class relations. The
Christians in this country have been at the forefront of most of the
positive, progressive movements. That said, the Religious Right are
my sworn enemies.
Anyway, America has one TRUE RELIGION, as described in The Bonobos'
lyrics:

Yeah, Right

I got some buddies who tell me they're Christian
Yeah, right.
And I've got some friends, you know they tell me they're Pagan
Yeah, right.
This guy that I work with, he says he's a Muslim
Yeah, right
But we all bow down for the worship of Mammon
Allright!
We all bow down 'cause we're worshippin' Mammon
Allright!
We all bow down 'cause we're worshippin' Mammon
Allright!
And we'll all bow down 'cause we're worshippin' Mammon tonight
Let's go!

I sense you are under a certain age. It wasn't about the Mercedes. I
think
you had to be there. On the bad side, if you were there, you damn near

Do you go off road? If not, why would you want one of those? They
are really crappy on pavement. I know. I drive a '97 Wrangler. We
have it because we go camping way off grid, where there are obstacles
that require a 4WD with plenty of ground clearance.
Our other car is a Kia Rio, which was a replacement for the Geo Metro
that I sold to a junkyard.

Right.
Since I have no further aspirations in the auto department, I think I'll
just get dressed and take a mile walk on my own trail and listen to the
birds and look at the beautiful skies. I believe the Indians traversed
here. I'll give thanks for their land which I have purchased.

Toodle-doo.

You mean an Alfa? Like a Spyder? I used to have a Fiat Bertone
X-1/9. A piece of crap in some ways, but a joy to drive when it
wasn't at Tony's Car Repair.

what difference does that make? believing in god doesn't guarantee
you won't be a villain, just as being an atheist doesn't mean you have
no morals.

also, it doesn't take killing people to be a tyrant causing great
misery.

We had a Fiat Spider for years. I always said it was made on a
Tuesday.... because we never had problems with it until it got old and
was supposed to have problems.

The car I want, they stopped making in 1989... by the time I can afford
to be choosy about another used car, I'm afraid it will be even harder
to find one.

My parents used to drive old Volvos. Before that, they had a red and
white VW microbus with the words "Too much magic bus" that my mother
painted on the back...

When I drove a Lancia, my kids wanted me to drive a Volvo. Those were
the days of the commercial when they pushed on off a cliff. The kids
tried to convince me to switch for the safety factor. They were still
in elementary school and real conformists. All the other moms were
driving Volvos and I didn't conform.

My Alfa wasn't a piece of crap. The people who always attended to Alpha
R.'s warranty were in the same dealership as Jaguar in California and
something else - Mercedes? - in Washington State. It was nice to not have
your car attended by some guy that looked and acted like a total idiot. It
was not until we moved to Hawaii that it fell under the auspices of the Ford
dealership for warranty. Then when we came to Virginia, we had no choice
but to take it to another 'one size fits all' repair shop near Washington,
D.C.

I sold the car to a kid from PA. It was his graduation present. I was
thrilled to see that someone nice got the car. The car served me well and
was a lot of fun to drive.

Here's the way it went with me -- I got leather seats and proceeded to cover
them with the fluffy wool - IIRC they were "Napa Valley Wool seatcovers."
Lordy, my!

Actually it probably saved the leather, as DH was just too darned big to
ride in a small car. He has a way of destroying seats.

I've never resorted to seat covers. Hubby isn't a "big guy" by any
stretch of the imagination, so he's easy on seats too. In fact, he
babies our cars so much that sometimes I think we should take a tax
deduction on them.
