Church Signs

I found a hilarious post on myhattiesburg.com with dueling church signs between the Baptist one I generated and a Catholic one I guess they've added since I was there. I'll post a link shortly.
 
Spotted this week:

"Live by the the truth and the Spirit, not by feelings and perceptions" -- ... the irony ... it buuurns ...

"Sorrow looks back
Worry looks around
Faith looks up"

--and self-righteousness looks down


Earlier this summer:

"Faith requires prayer, not proof" --why, yes, we should all stop thinking immediately and "just believe"

A bit down the street from the above sign:

"The way to be a Christian is through practice, not prayer" --the proximity of this to the other sign made me snort


I pass a Catholic church every morning and it has the most boring sign of all. It usually says "Bingo - Jackpot" and the time for the event. It occasionally advertises seasonal activities. The most amusing church signs around here are usually the "Free" Methodists (used to be "Free African" Methodists), and the "Church of fill-in-the-blank" people.
 
I saw this one on a water tower near my aunt's house. I forget the name of the town, so I've made one up.

"Carlisle, PA--Home of Jesus since 1947."

So, I guess all those people who have been searching for him now know where to look.....



Additionally, many years ago there appeared bumper stickers on cars with crosses all around the edges. The text of the bumper sticker said "I found it!"

Not long after came another bunch of bumper stickers, these with Jewish stars. This bunch said, "I never lost it!"

Car in the parking lot at work has "God doesn't believe in atheists", the logic of which has always irked me. It's really just a "I know you are but what am I", which seems a little petty for the omniscient, omnipotent creator of all things.

Read more of the bible, god is all about being petty.
 
I always liked the pyramid scheme ads you could find on the back of some of the old christian comics my grandmother used to get me:

"Jesus Saves Souls... and Redeems Them for Valuable Prizes."

In the same vein, I've seen bumper stickers "Got Christ? It's Hell without Him!". Now a simple "Got Christ?" would have been an excellent culture-jam, terse and pointed as the original. Then they go and ruin it with a lengthy follow-up. Just to make sure that the really idiotic don't miss the joke, there's flaming graphics in case you didn't get the double-meaning of "Hell". Ha-ha!

Technically, that wouldn't be a double meaning, as "it's (i.e. something is) Hell" means exactly that.

This one reminds me of the "Reader's Digest Convention" in a hall on an episode of The Simpsons.

Reader's Digest Convention: Brevity is...wit."
 
I saw this on a sign outside a church a few years ago:

The answer is God.
Now, what's the question?

I can understand the message that the church was trying to put across, but another interpretation might lead you to conclude that if god is always the answer then why bother asking the question in the first place. I find this alternative interpretation to be amusingly ironic. :D
 
TITHE IF YOU LOVE JESUS
ANYONE CAN HONK

At least they're honest about admitting what they want.
 
Give him an inch and he'll take a mile≠give him an inch and he'll become a geometry tool.

And this is said where in the Bible? Oh, wait, you heard it from someone who heard it from someone who had it personally revealed to them. Right.

My neighbor has that on the back of his pickup and I have to look at it everyday on my way to the bus stop.

I'm still debating on whether to do anything equally offensive in my yard for him to look at.
 
I was watching Dawkins on You-Tube a week or so ago where he mentioned a bumper sticker which said,"


Blasphemy is a Victimless Crime " :)
 
My wife has a design in mind for a new bumpersticker to sell in the shop. It reads: Jesus touched me

and I liked it.

The message n a church sign near where I once lived was the straightforward,

"COME TO GOD, OR GO TO HELL!"
