Christian clutter
• Christian Fundamentalism
A talk with Thomas Schultz, the Christian evangelist who has masterminded bigger, impossible to ignore born-again car clutter. He appears to be a mildly demented old coot who fancies himself a man like the early Apostles but gets asked to leave skid row missions.
The decals are hard to miss: "Jesus Is God. Read the Bible," they proclaim, in 3-inch-high gold letters stretched across car trunk lids, emblazoned on rear windows, or crammed into the rear portholes of utility-style vans. Some read "Jesus es Dios. Lea la Biblia" in red- or gold-lettered Spanish; a few advertise the same message in bright blue Korean characters.
And unlike the ubiquitous fish plaques, garden-variety Christian bumper stickers or even the increasingly common "Praying Calvin" window appliques, the yard-wide decals are impossible to ignore, particularly by drivers confronted by the inscription in heavy traffic.
