Church Signs Once Again

2007 September 7
by Julie Clawson

So I'll put up a short post in my continuing series of rants on crummy church signs. Once again the local Baptist church has caught my attention with their sign. On one side it displays the evangelical pseudojoke – "And you think it's hot here!" Cheezy, but I've heard it before. Then the other side reads – "Free trip to Heaven. Inquire inside." Does anyone else find that just a tad creepy? Doesn't exactly inspire confidence to make me want to go anywhere near that building. It's a bit like a scuba place advertising "We'll help you swim with the fishies." True from a certain perspective, but creepy nonetheless.

    Wow. Crazy stuff. There is (was?) one in downtown St Petersburg, Florida, that said "Sign broken. Message inside." We always thought they should turn a letter backwards, or something.

    The creepiest church sign I heard of was spotted by my friend in Florida. It said,

    "He's making a list, checking it twice. Are you in the Lamb's Book of Life?"

    Creepy.

    Church signs are so important…why is such creepy rubbish produced…surely people can see the effect it might have!
