Yo, God,
I passed a church today. The sign out front read:
DOES YOUR LIFE STINK? WE’VE GOT A PEW FOR YOU!
I think you need some new writers.
Love,
Jenn
Yo, God

Oh, wow. Church signs are the best. I saw one recently here in Pennsylvania that said “So you thought last week was hot?”

more and more! one of my favorite places to go for mindless internet fun.
He probably does need new writers, seeing as how all of His old writers have been dead for about two thousand years.
My word was FYGY. Maybe that means you are supposed to go to Fiji to look for new writers for God. Or GO to Fiji to be a writer for God. Hmmm…
I vote for going to Fiji!!!
I suppose it got your attention, at least. It must be hard to come up with witty things to say, but I’ll bet the old people in the congregation give the pastor an earful about that one!
When it comes to a Supreme Being, I still understand way more about what I don’t believe than what I don’t. To my long list of things I don’t believe: I don’t believe God or any other superior being would have anything to do with that punny church sign.
My personal favorite sign (this week): “For God, no financial need is too large.”
I’m considering joining the congregation just in time for the bags of money to rain down upon us.
I’m pretty sure I believe a little more in a Supreme Being after the experience of trying to leave that comment. I couldn’t master the code word on the first try and then just before my comment was submitted I realized that I said “don’t” twice in my first sentence–obviously the second don’t was a “do.” Clearly my punishment for sacrilege.
Supreme Being(s): 1(actually more like 4456000000001)
Me: 0
Oh. P.U.
I get no end of amusement from church signs around here. I should really carry my camera with me at all times.
Most churches that display such messages are typical the churches most in need of having God in the pews.
If they would simply show the love of Christ in their everyday life, there would be no need for such messages.
I meant to say… “Most churches that display such messages are typical of the churches most in need of having God in the pews.”
I get a kick out of those signs. I love when people mess with them and make them say something dirty.
This is getting weirder by the minute … Buddy and Masked Mom had to post twice and now my security code is HE DY … like maybe a Jesus message?
Since we’re on the subject of God, how about this from Woody Allen: “I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam. I looked into the soul of the boy next to me.”
Okay, pew, pew, pew.
I actually thought that was funny, as in smiles funny.
And Jenn, keep your eyes open, i kind of think that was writing on the wall for you. You were not supposed to comment on it (as in being God’s editor), i think you were supposed to sit in the pew, at least ’til your life starts smelling like it should.
Come on, pay attention!!!!!
OUR CHURCH IS LIKE FUDGE. SWEET, WITH A FEW NUTS.
IN THE DARK? TURN TOWARD THE SON.
SIGN BROKEN: COME INSIDE FOR MESSAGE.
WE HAVE A PROPHET SHARING PLAN.
There’s a church near me that always has a new message. I cringed at first. I enjoy them now.
My security code is OLORD. Just kidding.
Ali, I’m lovin’ your church signs but now my security code is DAM O … uh oh, I better get down on my knees and pray.
Church signs make my head hurt. I guess I’m a bit of an elitist, but what’s the point of going to a place that contains such… clever people? I’m afraid I’d go in and someone would approach me with a line like that, and they’d see the thoughts that follow flit across my face, and realize I just don’t belong there.
My wife regularly reads thsi blog: http://www.crummychurchsigns.blogspot.com/
It hurts my brain too much though.
I must admit, I have great respect for the Almighty But I’m not alwas very impressed by his ground personnel.
You guys are funny. I have seen some doozies in my day but at the moment I can’t remember any of them. I’ll get back to you on that one…
And my security code is AWER…maybe a A Werd Up??
it is one of their stranger ones, but they at least are trying to be creative. that churches sign is usually pretty plain.
personal favorite from hill country TX: “1 cross + 3 nails = 4giveness”
church’s
Da dum, dum….
I suggest that you do a post where your commenters figure out the meaning of the post based entirely on their security codes.
Mine, for example is MOXU. Which would mean…
Um…
Never mind.
Thanks for those of you who tossed out a link to CCS.
Stine: That quote is hilarious.
Ah, bumper sticker religion. I love when they try to be funny. They usually misspell something. And not on purpose.
Favorite ever: Let us give thanks for all the things we do not have.
Seen at the Little Church on the Hill in Flushing, Queens. NY nearly 20 years ago, and never forgot it. And I’m not religious!
