Father Luke Strand came up with the idea to create a God Squad car as a way of promoting the message of Christ and to garner some passing glances from motorists on the street. "When people see the car in public they usually laugh, and then it leads into lots of great conversations with strangers about faith and God," said priest Dan Janasik.
But despite the fact that the vehicle isn't used for commercial purposes, doesn't really advertise anything nor does it offer any sort of God Squad services -- they're not going to come over and set-up your wireless connection to Jesus -- the fact that the God Squad logo looks so similar to Geek Squad, and the use of a Volkswagen Beetle, has led Best Buy to threaten legal action against the preacher of God.
