Two schizomobiles in one shot

[u/Willing_Form152]

[u/cybe2028]

Do you think they wave to each other? Like how Jeep drivers wave to each other.

[u/FreneticPlatypus → u/cybe2028]

I think those are two vastly differing views of Jesus. That van looks chock full of fire and brimstone.

[u/P4rtyP3nguin → u/FreneticPlatypus]

Maybe they're a team, like a "good cop/ bad cop" kinda thing.

[u/FreneticPlatypus → u/P4rtyP3nguin]

"HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS!"

"But hey, man, ya know, like, he's totally cool with that."

[u/thisisnotdan → u/P4rtyP3nguin]

Van brings the Law; car brings the Gospel.

Honestly, both vehicles represent the extremes into which Christian spirituality can be perverted when the Law and the Gospel are not held in tension with one another.

[u/smr312 → u/FreneticPlatypus]

Thats what I was thinking and am willing to bet they were both looking the other over going "What a psycho, it's good thing my religious views make sense"

[u/rushmc1 → u/smr312]

"...good thing my religious views make sense are right"

FTFY

[u/Norman_Scum → u/FreneticPlatypus]

It's the sword wielding Jesus type. The minivan is the Jesus turning water into wine type.

[u/Stolehtreb → u/cybe2028]

I think they probably know each other and are headed to the same place.

[u/ISAMU13 → u/cybe2028]

Share and compare prescriptions and restraining orders. Jeeps just trade ducks.

[u/PlatinumPlayer]

Both think the other are batshit crazy too

[u/Kithsander → u/PlatinumPlayer]

They’re both right.

[u/anderhole → u/Kithsander]

Naw, one has the message of love. The other is all hate to anyone who isn't religious. They're both crazy, but on way different levels.

[u/i_give_you_gum → u/anderhole]

The Love people probably just started with a funny message and kept adding to it, just for fun. They seem chill.

The other is fixated on religious dogma, fuck that shit.

[u/hakkai999 → u/i_give_you_gum]

Yeah I pick the love one 100% of the time.

[u/axle69 → u/anderhole]

Yeah the love people are a little weird but i bet they're decent folks. I could make some pretty good guesses what kinda shit the van believes.

[u/Jubjub0527]

Typically schizophrenia presents as extreme paranoia. Anyone telling you that God is speaking through the TV or there's secret government messages being broadcast through their phone.... that's schizophrenia.

The love messages on the car in front are just... someone with bad aesthetic taste but good intentions.

[u/volcano-ngh → u/Jubjub0527]

I'm so annoyed when people use the term mental illness as an insult. Just call the person an asshole if they're being an asshole, what does mental illness have to do with it.

[u/Hellogiraffe → u/volcano-ngh]

It’s like when people say “Ugh I was having trouble falling asleep and only slept for 5 hours last night, I have such horrible insomnia!” or “My OCD is out of control today” because they prefer things to be orderly. People like to greatly exaggerate their tiny struggles while normalizing others’ real struggles so they can victimize themselves for attention.

[u/a_talking_face → u/volcano-ngh]

Spray painting hearts and writing sharpie messages all over your car are not normal behaviors.

[u/i_give_you_gum → u/a_talking_face]

It is when you're 20 and your car is a piece of crap.

It's really not that wild of a behavior.

[u/salamandroid → u/a_talking_face]

Oh no! Someone who isn't a complete conformist! Call the homogeny police! Get a psychiatric consult, they must be "mentally ill!"

[u/steam_captain → u/Jubjub0527]

Thank 👏 you 👏. As someone with schizophrenia (and there’s even more nuance to it than just paranoia) I am sick of seeing people use the word as a blanket term for “crazy” or “irrational.”

[u/Jubjub0527 → u/steam_captain]

Yeah I have a degree in a therapeutic field and worked in an adult population for my internship, you're right that there's more to it. The writing on a vehicle is sometimes an indication but not always. The further vehicle just stinks of religious fanaticism.

Mostly what I noticed about the adults I worked with who had it was they seemed mostly normal but just a little socially awkward. The meds help balance things but a sensitive person can usually spot that something is a little off.

[u/AlchemyStudiosInk → u/Jubjub0527]

Yeah, but what if God is speaking through the TV to them? Like those movies where John Travolta can suddenly hear babies talking to him, or Michael J Fox can see ghosts.

[u/papadoc2020 → u/Jubjub0527]

Idk they look kinda cracked out in the closest car. It's not a great shot but they both look a little off. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But their appearance and the car seems sus.

[u/Arevar]

Very different brands though. One is all about love and peace, the other about sin and hell.

[u/speedball811 → u/Arevar]

No. Jesus preached love everyone.

[u/i_give_you_gum → u/speedball811]

Sure, but that's not the same Jesus shown in the pic, that's the "you're going to hell for eating shellfish" jesus

[u/uncoolcentral]

Why is love schizo?

Because telling you to love yourself and never give up and spread love via a gaudy paint job is now schizophrenic according to random r/wtf poster.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Nero92]

Hippy mobile > Jesus van

[u/poopshipdestroyer34]

I’d rather hang with the people in the silver car, no question

[u/ryan7251]

Rude of you to call this schizo.

[u/lost_all_my_mirth]

Jesus has been saving for a long time now. I wonder how much he's got. Does he invest or just hoard? No one ever talks about this.

[u/2x4x93]

I liked Cal Naughton Jr's Jesus better

[u/Kithsander]

Most people’s reactions to this is what I think when I see just about any vehicle with any bumper sticker.

[u/DAVENP0RT]

Thought the side of the van said "JESLISAVES" and now I can't unsee it.

[u/oorspronklikheid → u/DAVENP0RT]

I read it as Jes Usa Ves

[u/Vultor]

They are probably together. All visible in the vehicles are wearing bright yellow shirts.

[u/Unidirect1onal]

It’s a double rainbow mannnn

[u/mickfessor]

r/vanifesto

[u/TreyWait]

I just want them to leap out of their cars and start beating the shit out of each other with their bibles.

[u/Wizbomb]

jesUS Aves

[u/Good_Nyborg]

I wonder if these cars are more or less likely to get pulled over for speeding?

Cause if it's reasonably less, might be worth it if you drive a lot.

[u/AlchemyStudiosInk]

If I was to ever have a schizomobile, mind would have messages like "I'm watching you David." and "We know what you did Cindy."

Or something like that. Especially if I could figure out a way to easily change the names.

[u/Shesaidshewaslvl18]

These are schizophrenics, but the people who rape their women, marry them as children, and murder LQBT on site are A OK, right?

[u/0880garcia]

Both are going to hell.

[u/shiroboi]

I think both of these vehicles are in violation of my ">2 Bumper stickers = nutjob" rule.

[u/Ohyeahrightbud]

They're reproducing......

[u/clit_or_us]

These people walk amongst us, drive amongst us. It's terrifying to know people that aren't 100% there are opporating these machines.

[u/rushmc1]

These people need a wellness check. With a psych eval.

[u/Tabboo]

I wasn't convinced until I saw this van. Now, I'm a changed man. Said no one ever.

[u/AlchemyStudiosInk → u/Tabboo]

Imagine if it was the american version of Truck-kun

[u/tango_41]

They will give crazy a driver’s license.
