  This isn’t aneurysm and is just poorly laid out mixed with old timey language.

  Why call ye me “Lord”, and do not the things which I say?

  “Why call ye me Lord” is the same question verb/object ordering of when someone says “what say you?” … “why do you call me Lord”

  “Do not the things which I say” is just replacing “don’t do” with “Do not.” It’s really weird in modern english. But you don’t need a second do to make sense. Heck, the previous sentence didn’t need a “do”… “You need not a second do” is a perfectly valid sentence, that’s just not how colloquially we form sentences anymore.

  But more to your point, anyone who has a sign this big on their car is probably more concerned about the time Jesus said “homosexuality is a sin” [citation needed], and less about the time he said “love thy neighbor” [Mark 12:31].

    How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?

      How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?

      It’s literally the KJV wording of Luke 6:45

      And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

      The word LORD in Bibles is actually the same thing as when people put G-d instead of “God”… Anywhere LORD appears in a bible in block capitals, the original text actually had יהוה - the tetragrammaton. Which is “god’s name”, and they decided that printing the name would be using it in vain, so they replaced it with something else, so people could read the bible without sinning.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if “Lord יהוה” appeared somewhere in the original text and just got written out as “Lord LORD”… but again, actually knowing anything about religion isn’t actually the point of using religion as a bludgeon for controlling the masses. Why proof read your sign when you need to get out on the streets to let people know they aren’t doing things your Jesus’s way.

      Or it’s possible they just wanted it to be taller without being wider. and couldn’t figure out font sizing, so they just doubled it up.

      Or they think that doubling a word adds emphasis or something.

      Or they’re just complete morons. It’s probably this one.

      And either way, I dont think repeating a single word erroneously would make an an aneurysm.

  It’s not a good question, it’s based on an incorrect assumption. I don’t call Jesus “Lord” so I don’t give a shit what his followers think he said two millennia ago.

    It’s clearly not directed at you since you don’t call Jesus Lord. Whether or not it is a good question seems to be a different subject than what you’re addressing.

    Well, in context what he said was directed to people who did call him Lord. And you should consider caring, most of his modern “followers” are nutjobs, but most of the quotes attributed to him are based. Love your neighbor, call out hypocrites, keep your faith between you and God instead of flaunting it for social credibility.
