Title: Funny/Stupid/Scary/WTF church signs.
Post by: rageaholic on November 07, 2012, 06:12:51 pm
A Baptist church I passed this morning had a sign "All that's needed for evil to rule is when good men do nothing" (not a direct quote but close).  Didn't think much of it at first, but then I wondered if the sign was just put up today after the results of the election.  I mean I drove by this church before and saw a sign that said "Heaven and hell are real, which one are you going to?".  So I suspect this is one of the nuttier churches out there. 

I also remember another Baptist church with a sign "Jesus is coming soon, are you ready?".  Same intimidating tone as the hell one.  Baptists are like this I guess. 

Then there's just the stupid ones. 

"God answers knee mail"
"Jesus is the rizzle forthe sizzle"
"A free thinker is Satan's slave"
"I kissed a girl and I liked it, then I went to hell" (though I admit I laughed at this one when I first saw it).

I'd have pictures, but I'm too lazy to link.

The Baptist Church down the road from me has had:
"God uses soular power."
"Vote for Jesus."

I remember one finnish religious poster that I thought was funny. Basically it could be translated as:

"Believe in Jesus and you will be allowed to live."

Granted, I know that the message they wanted to give was "those who have faith in Jesus will be given life eternal in heaven" or something like that, but the way it had been phrased was a threat.

One of the classics has always been "Are your worries killing you? Let the church help."

A Christian pre-school near me had a sign up with the sun wearing sunglasses, with a speech bubble saying, "Come have fun in the Son!"

Talk about poor word choice...

There is a Baptist Church in the town I grew up in that quite regularly has stupid or insane shit on their board.  (Un)fortunately, I rarely go by there anymore, and it has been so long that I have that I can only remember two gems.

"Don't be so open-minded your brain falls out"
"Islam:  America's greatest enemy"

I found the second one to be particularly fascinating/offensive.  Despite the fact that I was 15 or 16 and considered myself to be a conservative, my immediate response was something along the lines of, "Wait, what?  No, Muslim terrorists don't accurately represent Islam.  The problem is people who take their religion too seriously and are willing to kill for it.  The problem is radical fundamentalists, like the people of that church."

There's a Baptist church around here that sometimes has weird stuff on their sign. A couple of months ago I drove past and they had:

JESUS IS COMING
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Yes, we've seen Raptor Jesus and Zombie Jesus, but it's the world ready for Borg Jesus? I'm still kicking myself for not pulling over to take a pic.

The funniest thing is there's a huge Mormon temple that's almost right next door to this church. Both buildings have been there since I moved here four years ago, but apparently the temple just opened about a week ago. I happened to be driving by when they were having. opening services or whatever, and there were at least half a dozen people standing on the sidewalk waving anti-Mormon signs with huge ass long URLs on them.

I know this is a necro-thread, but this was just too funny not to share and I didn't want to start a separate thread for it.

But apparently, he can't supply his followers with a spell-checker.

I've seen some funny ones. For example:

"Free trip to heaven! Details inside!"

Reminds me of a comic I read where an especially top-heavy werewolf female ran into a fast food joint and basically acted like a puppy when offered hamburgers. One of the female workers approached to touch her breasts, telling her coworkers, "It's not lezzy once they get to a certain size!"

It's from the webcomic 'Peter Is The Wolf' (the adult variant).

The quote, in specific, is "If the tits are over E'sies, it's not gay to give them squeezies"


... Frankly, even with the artist and writer both being into the small side of hyper, and breast expansion, the comic's pretty damned good, and is incredibly entertaining.  You just basically get 'bonus material' on the adult side, whereas the clean version might take either a different slant on the same scene, or replace it with the comic version of 'and now for something different'.
