You traded the popemobile for this?!

He did not, in fact, trade the popemobile for this.

That car provided more protection than god ever could
- I mean that's an extremely low bar. a metal folding chair in the back of a pick-up also would....
- Because the vehicle exists?
  
  No, because the dude got shot without it.
- You'd think god would protect the pope so they wouldn't need bulletproof glass.
  
  Almost like the pope doesn't trust him or ... gasp, doesn't believe it to exist.
  
  Man was in a terrible flood and climbed up to the roof to avoid the water that kept rising. He was very religious and so when a boat came by and offered hep he said, " God will save me" and refused to go. The water rose higher and a jetski came by and offered to help, but again the man said, "God will save me". The water rose even higher and a helicopter came by and lowered a ladder, and again he refused and said "God will save me". The waters kept rising, swept the man into the flood and he drowned.
  
  In heaven, the man speaks to God and says" why didn't you save me?"
  
  God replies, "I sent a boat, a jetski and a helicopter! What more did you want?"
  
  He could but he just doesn't feel like it
- God gave us the power to make the popemobile. Checkmate atheists.
Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say 'stop calling it that'?
- As stated clearly in the article, the term is not “popemobile”, but rather “undignified”.
  
  /s
  
  🤦‍♂️
- All I know is that his request was ignored
  
  But what alternative would you suggest?
  
  Pope Force One.
  
  Pope-Porter.
  
  Move-a-Pope.
  
  Sacral Scooter.
  
  Pope-box.
  
  The Holy Whip.
  
  Christmobile.
  
  Holy Rollie?

- Does anyone in that cult ever suggest alternatives, or just say ‘Don’t do that’?
No, I traded it for a microphone.
- A microphone?!
  
  Okay I can see that
  
  Can you though? It’s micro.
- Plus, it's a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.
  
  I didn’t realise the ramifications of this statement until right now
I love that description! "In 2002 he asked to stop calling it the popemobile, (so anyway...) in 2008 the popemobile..." lol
If everything in his crackpot sandstorm hallucination of a religion is correct I imagine his toes are quite toasty about now.
Ah, the God Force 1

Best read in Ron Howard's voice
Man with science made object to protect a man of all-powerful god.

He-he
- I sent you a truck, a boat, and a popemobile 😢
"Take me seriously" says man in absurd robes, silly hat and one of a kind noddy car.
It's got a holy motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got holy tires, holy suspensions, holy shocks. It's a model made before the protestant reformation so it'll run good on regular indulgences. What do you say, is it the new Popemobile or what?
- Fix the holy cigarette lighter.
