It is and always was cultism.a big organization if not huge,but still a cult.

I would like to see a sticker which says.
"Cults are alive and well".

At least this is chocolate and not tasteless wafer.

otherwise it would just be mas.

And that would look odd on cards.

That'll freak out quite a few coworkers!

thanks for posting.

They said YES ON Proposition 8.

Mormons, mostly.

I vaguely remember seeing those on the news. And wasn't there a "Religious Freedom" sign done with the Romney "R" ?

Edit: this isn't the one but it was similar to this.

are a lot of people with plaster saints out in the front garden. Most of them are hideous, but at least they don't advertise the homeowner is a complete fool.

Think of these signs as a warning of who to avoid--or to put on your sucker list should you have to turn to crime.

I have a St. Francis statue in my garden! Watch it!

I like it. It is not one of those really tacky ones, but it is there. And it hasn't got any religious connotations to me since I was an atheist when I got it. I just liked it.

I have a junk sculpture cat I'd have out there only somebody would very likely steal it.

St Joseph is the really risky one since people swipe them to bury head down in the front yard so their houses will sell.

I have trouble growing plants, except for things that spread and take over, so I decorate with crap. I have some cool cats. And several flamingos. No St Joseph though, head up or ass up. If I go to sell the house, I will try that, if I can find one to swipe....I am sure that it will help. I mean what saint wouldn't be flattered to be buried head down in a front yard!

for years. Most of them are wooden, plain white with black print, and they are all scripture verses. Then there are all the churches with all the crosses on their lawns with signs about abortions. And we even have a lot of billboards with religious sayings on them.

Seems to me that your area's signs will disappear sooner than ours will, since they have been there for years. Apparently, yours are not meant to be permanent.

I am always tempted to send letters to these people about all the public proclamations, using Bible verses of my own to denounce them.

When I drive north and west of here I see them a lot. Usually hand painted. "prepare to meet thy God" "Choose Life" etc etc

Saw a pro life one painted on the side of a semi trailer parked in a field this fall. Paid for by the Knights of Columbus.

I think that the only reason that they are in business these days is to fight choice.

This is a semi-rural to rural area, so you are right about it seeming to be a rural thing.

"Your building is hideous"

coworkers have been talking about keeping Christ in Christmas, so I put up a wallpaper on my PC for "keep Thor in Thursday." I'd live one that says something about saturnalia or the winter solstice, if anyone has any ideas.

At least one Xian may have gotten it...he asked if I was going to watch the new Thor movie. Then he giggled.

Sometimes distributed by local churches, which tend to be a uniform size/message like you mention in the OP. Other times they are crudely hand-lettered with the homeowner's personal rant about prayer in school, abortion or our gawdless Kenyan President.

Then there are the billboards. HUGE billboards featuring suspiciously blue-eyed Jesi, commands to attend church, read the Bible, etc.

Happily - at least for some of us - the religious billboards along Interstate-85 are probably outnumbered by the billboards advertising topless/strip joints.

As Ogden Nash wrote:

God's plan had a hopeful beginning,
But Man spoiled his chances by sinning.
We trust that the story, will end in God's glory,
But for right now, the other side's winning.

need to go into the collection plate. Not G-strings!!1!
