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.
I always thought of the repeated “Lord” almost to be like, a mocking repetition of those who come running to you for advice or wisdom and then disregard it entirely when you don’t instantly solve all their problems.
Like “Oh yeah sure, you kids come running ‘Dad, dad!’ when you want something, but where are you when I need help in the garage?”
But there could be other interesting explanations. Never really thought of that!
Or it could be because of the weird old timey sentence structure. And it’s actually equivalent to:
Why do you call me (the Lord), “Lord”
Similar to “Why do you call me, your boss, ‘Boss’, but then don’t do the things I tell you to.”
Once to establish “I am Lord” and once to establish “And you call me that”.
Either way, it’s a translation, and not the original text anyway. So I dont know why people feel the need to put borderline gibberish on the side of their car.
