But today I found a new favorite, which probably just displays my own personal warped sense of humor. It said:
And I said to myself, I thought that was Huitzilopochtli. I couldn’t help imagining the good, civilized members of this local Baptist church on Sundays. “Do you accept Jesus? Praise the Lord! Come on up to the altar! Bob, get me my obsidian knife.”
The church on the corner of my street has an honest-to-God (if you will lit marquee advertising their Easter Passion Play. The thing I like best about it is that the name of this play is “He’s Gone.” Every tiem I go past that sign, I think, “But he’s coming back!”
The church down the street from me has a board that they change frequently. My favourite one read “God prefers fruits of the spirit to religious nuts.” Ah, to have had a camera with me that day.
Whenever the weather around here passes the ninety degree mark, the church a few miles down the road always puts “You think it’s hot HERE?” on the sign.
