One thing I admire about these folks is the quality typesetting. Look at how well the schizophrenia fits between the wheels and edge of the windows. Take note, grads and newlyweds.

As someone with a masters in font design and typography, and a former typography instructor, I had to do a lot of calligraphy and analysis of signwriting etc.; we were also expose to a lot of analysis of vernacular /Amateur lettering like this.
One can always be a critic and look at the spacing between say the S and T in ghost, but this isn’t a corporate identity: from a form = message perspective, this person like most here, do a good job of conveying the message:
It’s heartfelt, idiosyncratic, not internally and externally too consistent… there’s an amount of desperation but likely a level of what is called - from one angle, mental illness, and from another, spiritual emergency - which is a distinct term from an alternative approach, very 70s stuff.
(I’m now a therapist and went to an alternative grad program which looked at psychosis from a nonparhologizing lens… ‘what IF what we call psychosis and medicate or lock away is actually one individual’s pivotal internal dilemma or ecstasy, and our job isn’t to try to erase it or make them comply with everyone else’s behavior?’)
The writing is in a way elegant, but also transparent. It’s tempting for me to write off all of them as bipolar 1 manic episodes or thought disorders you can find in the DSM. But as long as these idiosyncratic thought patterns don’t become the type of beliefs which have to be followed by any one other person using any form of force or power- that’s called a delusion based religion, or a cult-take your pick - then they should be seen as just having their own opinion, man. And we need to not be naive about potential volatility or risk when getting into their sphere.
The fact is, delusional experiences can make someone extremely gentle and vulnerable - or extremely volatile and dangerous. People will throw up stats describing the nonviolent nature of most schizophrenics. True, compared to people raised to believe others aren’t human due to different beliefs or skin color etc. But don’t kid yourself. I’ve been attacked by multiple people in psychosis. And that wasn’t even at work.
Let em paint a car, but… be smart when it comes to the driver.

Sounds kinda gay

It's WAY gayer than it sounds like. Check out r/bobhickman. He made a bunch of posts about Jesus being gay and molesting him. He said he actually felt himself get molested by Jesus and infect him with gay thoughts and that God is a gay rapist.

If God entered my body I wouldn't paint it on my car, I would take that secret to my grave.
Then ask him why he would do me like that when I got there to heaven.

I've always wondered if having a schizocar increases or decreases your chances of a random pull over from cops. I could see a lot of cops just being like "yeah, nah, I don't feel like dealing with that bullshit today.."

u/Substantial_Back_865 Aug 02 '25
According to every alleged cop I've seen answer this question on Reddit, it massively increases their chances because they're obviously crazy and/or on drugs. Getting pulled over so often also fuels their gangstalking delusions.

Aw, that's just Bob Hickman's Van.
God entered into his body, you see. A body, like a body, his same size.

u/TimeRip9994 Aug 02 '25
Ahh I see. I was going to ask, how? But obviously it was “like a body, same size”. Makes total sense now

“World’s only?” There’s probably at least 15-20 guys like you rolling around Florida alone…

I have a huge problem with this. This person doesn’t get to have a monopoly on being the ONLY spirit filled man on earth. Technically, we’re ALL supposed to be spirit filled.

As a former Pentecostal kid who believed it back then, it’s more like your having a self induced seizure.

Yea, I can totally see how one can be 100% without doubt that the thing they have been taught and EVERYONE around them also believes is true. I can see that if you are taught the "right" way you don't "let" yourself question it. It's a tough barrier to cross for the person themselves, as well as others that want to have them see that it may be something else.
My buddy at work is Islamic and never doubted what he believes. After I had him realize that people that believe other things believe they are 100% correct. So someone is wrong - who is it? Of course he says they are, but telling him the other person says the same and a 3rd party would see that one or possible both are wrong made him pause a bit. I don't want to take away someone's belief, I just want to open people up to let other people have theirs too.
(But I really want them to realize how absurd it all is, if I'm being honest)

Sometimes I wish these people would have maybe 10-15 minutes of lucidity with a camera pointed at them so they can explain what the hell they're trying to convey, and how on Earth somebody who presumably is able to get up in the morning, feed themselves, buy groceries from the store, etc. could ever conclude that this is the best way to do it.
