Mean Church Signs (Jesus, hell, doctrine, pray, bible)

[Jaymes]

There was a church not far from my school that, during the time when the Supreme Court was ruling on gay marriage, said "Homosexuality is the sickest sin".

Not really mean spirited, but there are several that make me go "... what the heck? I really live in the south." One church in particular had these gems:

"There is a God, and you are not him."
"Have you forgot what Jesus done for you?"

Thanks, 9/10ths.

That was well worth the trip, just for this one: Make your own church sign

Here's a twist on an old classic:

That really is mean. Here in the Pac Northwest where people are much more liberal, that sign wouldn't have stood one day. The church would have gotten probably 100 calls complaining.

I see some pretty strange ones on my way to the ren faire. I'll have to write some of them down.

My friend and I were driving down the interstate and there is a church with a scrolling sign. We thought it said "Tomorrow's your last day on earth. Are you ready?"

It wasn't until it cycled through again that we saw that it started with "IF tomorrow's your last day on eart . . ."

There was one church in the town where I work (an Assembly of God church for what it's worth) that regularly had some of the most mean-spirited and thinly-veiled vitriolic messages I have ever seen on a church sign. At some point they stopped. I wonder if enough people complained that they figured they better stop? It was on one of the busiest roads in town, and they often were very distasteful.

The Evangelical "insult for Jesus crowd" always makes an appearance at every LDS semi-annual general conference. They stand just outside Temple Square with their signs telling us we're all going to Hell, shouting obscenities at us and desecrating temple garments. Mostly, we just ignore them. However, a few resourceful Latter-day Saints have recently shown up with their own signs. Here are some of my favorites:

Hi! My name is Satan and these street preachers are my missionaries.

I have nothing better to do than stand on the street corner holding a sign.

If you can't be right, be loud.

People with signs are stupid.

I've been rebuked by a street preacher.

I remember when I as in Utah going to Job Corp and I went into Salt Lake one Saturday and the Malls are up by the Temple, and when I got close to the Malls the first thing I say as the Street Preachers, funny thing was it was my friends first time in Salt Lake and I was showing him around.
