So feel free to post hell if necessary.

Anyways. I often get a kick out of the message signs in front of churches. Yesterday I saw the following:

TO AVOID SINBURN

GET SONSCREEN

HAHAHAHAAH. That's pretty comical.

If you know this is the wrong place, why post it?

Shrug. The first one (OP) is painfully unfunny. The second one, as far as I can tell, contains no abbreviations. Did you mean misspelling?

PATH TO HEAVEN:
TURN RIGHT
GO STRAIGHT
WORSHIP SUN(day)

Fixed the abbreviation (at least the way I read it).

Pretty damn funny. Sun worshippers are often considered druids, who were (are?) basically pagans. So putting that up on a church board?

Can't tell if the "right" and "straight" bits are directions or political/sexual leanings, but whatever.

No, I think it was a lame attempt to copy Monopoly.

No no no....funny in a goofy-ass way. Rarely are they clever, but they are often dorky as hell.

Ah . . . lol. That is actually pretty hilarious. It actually never occurred to me that they were talking about the day of the week.

The church I pass on the way to my parents house had a lot of really, really good ones. I especially loved the one they had during the last Superbowl:

GOD HAS NO FAVORITES,
BUT OUR SIGN GUY DOES
GO GIANTS!

And yeah, they're not "pull-over-to-laugh-uproarishly" funny but they're often quite clever and amusing. Almost makes me start wanting to go to church again. Almost.

EDIT: I forgot, I actually took a blurry pic of it while driving back home...

Since this is gonna be thrown down into PnR anyway, here's one I have seen pop up quite a bit:

OBAMA SPENDS, JESUS SAVES

I just wanted to post in a thread before it went to PH.

Slightly related, and been around forever:
MY KARMA RAN OVER YOUR DOGMA.

I used to have a button with that on it in highschool.

Damn it, I thought "PnRnN" was an obfuscation of "PORN".

Slippyblade · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2012, 09:55:50 pm »

Years ago a friend of mine got me a pin. I still have it.

God was my co-pilot
But we crashed in
the mountains and
I had to eat him.

Love that pin.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2012, 01:36:41 am »

I saw one a few years back:

JESUS SAVES
BUT WE DONT
DONATE TODAY!

Nothing in here yet that warrants even a move to PnRnN.

YTMND is notorious for not loading properly, but if you can get it to, this is great:

Not a bad prank.

Written on a bathroom stall -

Jesus Saves....
But Lemieux scores on the rebound!!!!

Duquesne University, Pittsburgh PA. Amusing to me even more, since it's a Catholic University. It was there from the late 89's when I started college, and was there throughout my 4 years there, and beyond. Guess the custodians were Pens fans.

Gray_Area:

That was from a church believe it or not. Apparently the collection plate had been a little empty at the time.

I saw a similar one in Vancouver in '96, but Gretsky.

Yah - from the spending! Looks bad, and is surprising to me, given the current economic state.

Has goodwin's law been enacted yet in this thread?

Fwiw, you'd have to be unusually damned sensitive to categorize this thread as religious or political.

Saw a new one at the same church:

SOULER NEEDS MET HERE

Or maybe souler power, but you get the idea. Pretty funny.
