Church Signs

Does anyone know how the church sign messages are chosen? I've seen several messages repeated; it makes me wonder if they have a booklet or email list with sayings in it.

Nah, it's just "cornball meme transfer mechanism". See also: sophomoric philosophy, philosophy 101, Whitney Houston lyrics playing on the secretary's radio, et al.

I used to drive by a tree nursery and they had different similar sayings on their sign every day.

I just saw another one:

Christians aren't perfect,
just forgiven

Blech.

Not that I'm advocating vandalism, but if someone ever changed that 2nd line to "they just want you to be", I think I would laugh for hours.

Which comedian said that when he was a kid, he prayed for a bicycle. But later, after attending Sunday School, he learned that he had been doing it wrong: he learned Christians are supposed steal the bicycle and then pray for forgiveness.

I saw a good one yesterday, and I wished that I had the camera to take a photo of it to post here on JREF.

Anyway, it said:

"STOP, DROP, AND ROLL DOESN'T WORK IN HELL"

Ugh!
 
My favorite sign was on a brick/plexi construction in front of church. Someone had run into the sign with a vehicle, so one of the brick pillars was destroyed. On the board?

'OUCH!'

:D

I saw another one today:

Jesus: Don't leave Earth without him

Someone should alert NASA ;)
 
For Church - there is the all time classic:

:::::::CHCH - What's missing? UR!::::::::

I saw 2 religion related related bumper stickers this week that made me laugh:

1) Get a taste of religion - lick a witch. (was very funny until I saw the driver)
2) Born right the first time. (I need that one on my car)

I have that one on my motorcycle helmet. I also have, "Short form of the serenity prayer: F*** it!"




My favorite church sign: "Going out of business".
 
I remember a year or two ago the church at the corner of my street had it's sign read 'Screaming babies are the sound of a healthy church.'

Wouldn't you love to see "God told me to change the stupid sign, so I did" just once?

This came up somewhere else and apparently there are books you can buy with all these lovely sayings. A search on Amazon shows way more than any one church would ever need. Yowza!
 
Just saw this one -

"God grades on the cross, not on the curve."
 
From yesterday:

"Church that loves" - That's all the sign said.

"Get to heaven in 2007" - Yikes! Do they know something we don't?
 
For All You Do
His Blood's For You

At least I managed to get through two consecutive Easter seasons without seeing one "Easter 'Son-Rise' Service" sign. Do people actually think that's clever?
