There are churches of all varieties, denominations, and cultures in every corner of America. And a lot of them have lighted signs in front to speak to you as you drive by. What messages are they sending?
Some are intended to get you in the door on Sunday, even if their messages sometimes have double meanings.

Accidentally pornographic Baptists ^ | |
|
SEXY ^ |
|
^ And SEXY Catholics, too! |
|
I love sarcasm! |
Some are shaking an angry fist at the world! (As if some righteous indignation on a sign is going to change people's behavior!)
|
^ Dude! These are the FUN people! Count me in! (Vegetarians?) |
|
Shouldn't faith make you a kind person? ^^ Why all the FEAR MONGERING?! |
|
^ I agree with the "HA HA HA" part. ^ |
Some take a softer, more humorous approach.
|
^ AMEN! ^ |
|
Is this the modern "opiate of the masses?" ^ |
|
Nice! Some Methodists get it! ^ |
|
G R A C E = 5 letters, Lutherans. ^ |
And some have particular issues that MUST BE ADDRESSED IN A LIGHTED SIGN SO EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE WWWWRRRROOOOONNNNNGGGGG!

I now have to Google "surgically augmented genitals." ^ |
|
Tsk Tsk Tsk Church of Godders. Politics is a no-no. ^ |
|
Does this even make sense? ^^ It's like they changed half the sign. |
|
So, kissing is a mortal sin now? ^^ I'm guessing this church has no children. Yikes! |
|
Maybe they are dyslexic and don't believe in Dog? ^ |
Churches are congregations of people. Some are good and some are not so good. Some are educated and enlightened, and some are Pat Robertson-esque. Some will lift you up. And some will tear you down. This blog isn't particularly deep or meaningful. I just saw an internet post with a sign and thought, "What a weird thing to post in front of a church!" So I found some more and voila, blog post.
I was raised in the Assemblies of God denomination. You know, the one with the "WHY ARE YOU LEADING YOUR CHILDREN TO HELL?" sign. You can understand why I had to get Above My Raisin'.
In our own church bulletin recently... "Bring your cans to church" (a recycling effort) followed by "Easter from the Backside" (a bible study).
