I drove past a car that had 'God Is An Awesome God' as a headrest cover on one of the seats. It was set, naturally, so that people driving behind could read it. ::rolls eyes:: Except the language used finally caught my eye and I started giggling. Most Christians are monotheists and think there is only one god. But once they stick an article into that sentence (a, an, or the), they have just joined a polytheistic world. In this particular case, 'an' means there's other awesome gods out there; theirs is just one of them.
Pardon me, I'll be giggling my pagan ass off over here about the bad usage of language and theology.
(Yes. I know the phrasing 'no other gods before me' implies more than one God. I also know the vocal, obnoxious Christians cherry-pick the Old Testament to suit themselves, too. The general opinion is that there's God, Satan, and a lot of false gods. So, this amuses me a lot.)
