Offensive Church Messages

Yeah, and if Christians aren't taking your money, they're walking off with your kids.

Evil can take on many forms, even someone pretending to be a Christian.

I was referring to what happened in Haiti just to be clear about it.

The easiest way to not be offended by a church sign is to notice that it is a building with a sign that has a church name and just simply, don't read the sign.

Or you could do as a tea party "patriot" might do, toss a brick through it and cut the gas line.

Or just be an illiterate Christian.

Holy Week starts this Sunday, Palm Sunday, and is celebrated through Easter Sunday, which is the highest Holy Day in the Christian calendar.

Passover begins the 30th and goes through April 6th. While Passover might not be the highest Jewish holiday, it is also a time of somber reverence and remembrance.

I respect those who choose other beliefs, but won't be tuning in to this thread next week. The ugliness and blatant disrespect simply due to ones' opposing beliefs speaks mountains. I have lived with an atheist, had a dear friend who was an atheist and work with an atheist. Never once have I heard such rude comments directed at Christianity as I have and do from you, Lucifer. Why not simply respect others' beliefs?

I started the thread with a simple enough question. I wanted to know if people ever found any of these messages offensive. From the responses I suspect that some others do as well. It only got ugly when people asked my reasons for finding this one offensive. I gave my reasons. No apologies or excuses from me on this one. Fact is I'm sure there are some devout believers a who find this sign to be offensive. What I learned from all this is that good taste is not a part of the Christian industrial complex.

Good taste isn't exactly part of certain atheists' mantra either. I didn't ask you for an apology nor do I think one is necessary. But, I do believe in respect. And, I have stated before on this forum, your belief system is respected here.

I don't find the church signs to be offensive. I do find your posts to be highly offensive though.

Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself.
