Thank you for that! That was great.

Most are funny and quite witty. Lucifer, that nail thing might have something to do with Holy Week coming up next week.

Of course, but that makes it no less dumb and offensive.

Maybe you're the only one offended? It's a harsh statement, but I am not offended.

I also find it a little graphic/distasteful.

My upbringing was focused on the positive messages of Jesus, not the crucifixion and I find it rather creepy. I know the theology behind it, importance etc. but that doesn't make it something you want to get a visual of while driving down the road.

I could do without the messages period, but some of them are kind of amusing and funny. Some are witty, some are funny because they're dumb. Some use scare tactics and I wonder whose attention they are trying to grab. The non-believers??? Give me a break. This kind of imagery is why some of us saw the light (at least in our opinion) and rejected Christianity in the first place. Anyway, this is the first time I saw a message and was offended to the core, for my own unique reasons of course, but I figured maybe others have had similar experiences based on their beliefs or lack thereof.

Same vibe I get in Walmart.

Ha! It's not just you. Wal-mart has that vibe for sure. I can block it out if I need to though. Always end your shopping someplace else.

Signs in general can be offensive. This appeared on a BBQ joint in PC after the local gay bar burned:
