Okay...so you're saying I should've pulled up next to them and yelled "Fuck you, you asshole!"?

I will say that I don't understand the notion of "knowing that you are going to heaven" implied in the bumper sticker. It's foreign to me. From my upbringing, no one can know whether or not they are headed to heaven. Believers must try to live a good life and "carry the cross" themselves. Only God knows.
(I'm not saying that the bumper sticker is wrong. I just don't understand it).

Well, brother, I don't understand it, either. And being culturally Catholic perhaps you didn't get the memo, now you can buy your tickets to heaven in advance through Ticketmaster.
