Not a large percentage of the discussions on this thread have much to do with the topic of Religion and the philosophy of religion. Seems to be mostly about personal beliefs and how to draw attention to those beliefs.

But speaking of birds and windshields:
Had a turkey destroy a windshield in a car of mine also, and I still have a dent in the hood of my car from the Owl that committed suicide by diving into it while I was driving down the highway.
I also hit a deer on the highway late at night when I was going about 90 mph on the freeway. That deer was wearing the front license plate when it launched from the impact..

Don't know if there is such a thing as an animal impact proof windshield.

I was addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but then I turned myself around!!
