My favorites:
God is on the throne (Did they realize what they were saying?!)
and
**My last name is not Dammit – God **

I was driving along and saw one that said:
"To understand God, you must stand under God."
I drove along for a couple of minutes before I finally came up with, “To overcome evil, you must …”
Tell me about it. When I went to school in Pensacola (a seething hotbed of evangelical churches), there was one particular church that on several occasions featured “it’s” on their sign, when the context clearly indicated that it should be the possessive pronoun “its”–therefore, no apostrophe needed.
It bothered me so much that when I drove past the church late one evening, I pulled up next to the sign, got out of my car, walked up to the sign, removed the offending apostrophe, slid the “s” up next to the “t,” and, having edited the sign, drove off with the apostrophe.
I still have it stuffed in a junk drawer somewhere–maybe I’m expecting I’ll need it in an emergency one day.
But I like my god as a friend.
This one was up for a couple of weeks until I think some explained its similarity to gay/bi ads in magazines. “20 minute church… curious?”
One by my house that I thought was kind of amusing:
Is Satan chasing you? Quick hide in here!
I always thought it would be vastly entertaining to own a bar across the street from a church and do my own marquee.
Kinda point/counterpoint thing.
Church: God is my co-pilot
Bar: Bob is my DD.
Church: CH__RCH. What’s missing?
Bar: _ _ine, it’s in the toilet.
…With Fava beans and a nice Chianti…
Contact God through knee-mail
I bet whoever came up with that one just went through the rest of the day with a grin on their face. Like, it has everything. The whole prayer and humble thing and it shows that this is a place that’s hip to the new technology! So much that we can joke about it! Geddit?! Knee-mail??? Sounds a bit like… e-mail!
Hilarious!
Heh. I was just about to post about this one. Cracked me up when I saw it.
I hate to say this, but I like some of them. The first one was good.
There’s a church on my work route that, last year, went through some movie envy, apparently. In two subsequent months, the messages on the church board were (yes, direct quotes):
“Jesus is better than the Matrix”
and
“Bruce is not the Almighty”
I hate to admit this…
this was actually the sign at the church I attend 16 years ago…
“God’s favorite word is Come.”
sigh
Was there NO ONE in leadership worldly-wise enough to have suggested that might not be a good idea? L
So God and I have something in common. Although I prefer a slightly different spelling.
On the church between my house and ShopRite:
Be an organ donor. Give your heart to Jesus.
Since when does Jesus’s diet (bread, fish, wine) cause heart disease?
I like the bumper sticker that says something like that God knows we don’t need our organs there, so leave them here.
Hopefully, you know by Be an organ donor. Give your heart to Jesus., that means be charitible.
There must be a list somewhere of the church signs from The Simpsons–anyone have a link?
There used to be a Reverend Lovejoy specialty webpage. Can’t find it, though…
From the above link: "Temple Beth Springfield. Rabbi Hyman Krustofski. This Saturday: “Coping with Christmas”
The only one I remember offhand is, “GOD WELCOMES HIS VICTIMS.”
