You're not going to get very good cars, though, are you, bearing in mind that whole camel and needle thing.
That bait-and-switch tactic must be a favorite with fundies. Back in about 1980, some Campus Crusade for Christ guys (without mentioning who they were) invited a bunch of us in my college dorm to "come see a great sports blooper reel" they had set up in the dorm's rec hall. True, it had some real doozies in it, some of which still make me chuckle when I think about them -- but the whole bit about bloopers in sports was just a lure to suck us in long enough to then let Tom Landry (and other sports figures) proselytize in the film; the last 15 minutes of this half-hour program was pure preaching. My respect for Landry fell tremendously when I realized what a deceptive program he was associating himself with.

this is goddamn hilarious. And you have INDEED got to be fucking kidding me.
Incidentally, David, forgive me as a foreigner, but - wow! Tom Landry is a real person? I thought he was just someone from King of the Hill!
Yeah, TDR, he is ... or, rather, was. I live in Dallas, where he's more commonly referred to as "St. Tom." Despite my utter disdain for sports, it was impossible to grow up in this city in the 1960s and 1970s and not be able to recognize his name and face.

David, we still get the same kind of crap today. Woke up one morning to find some website that looked like a typical college community site written in chalk every two feet all over the sidewalks throughout campus (I counted and had to walk past about 20 or so just to get to the caf). Didn't say what it was. I know better than to go to a site I've never heard of before, but I was almost dead certain it was a fundie site (no one else would have written it every couple of feet). About a week later, I saw a flyer that proved me right.
"Soon... you will see hundreds and hundreds of cars suddenly "abandoned" by their owners. Cars parked on your street will be left unattended for days and days. On the road, cars would crash! Accidents all over! You may get stuck on the freeway because thousands of cars would'nt have anyone to drive them! Then you find out this happened not only in your area but in the whole world!"
Oh, come on. I know they break a lot, but people aren't going to just abandon their american automobiles on the side of the road en masse.
Now, one every few miles of highway, is a lot more realistic, and pretty close to what I see, anyways.
What's that? He wasn't talking about how shitty american cars are? Eh, I still think my response is more relevant to the real world than his point was.
No, thats not an old bait and switch, it's bullshit you just made up to feed your desire for everyone to die. Someone might sue you for scamming, and seeing as you aren't getting any money off your little scam(and maybe your one of the nuts who stoped working since they think the rapture is coming)you won't be able to afford the legal fee's.
Nah, it's useless to me. We're not allowed to import left hand drive cars into South Africa any more.
Now if any Australian fundies get raptured - then we're talking!
I'd have to give it one heck of an airing, though. The smell of hypocrisy is very hard to get rid of. Not to mention the overwhelming stench of bullshit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
