Church signs keep getting more and more creative, here are some that will make you laugh.
Growing up, I loved the idea of mindlessly following a bunch of rules that don't really mean anything to me and hoping that these arbitrary traditions will yield me an eternity of happiness.
Plus there's the benefit of a superiority complex that comes with it, so that was pretty nice, feeling chosen and special and all that.
After a while though, it wasn't really working for me anymore, maybe because I felt that talking and studying about having a great life instead of actually living it was kind of a drag. But also because religion always seemed so serious and hallowed, which seemed kind of silly.
Maybe if my house of worship injected a bit more humor into the whole glorification of God process, I'd be more keen to visit the mosque on a regular basis.
Like these churches who came up with brilliantly current and hilarious signs.
There were socio-political commentaries.
The sign in front of a Dallatown church reads, "Blessed are those from the $*!*holes Lk 17 11-19."
"It wasn't so much the President ... but more specifically, the way the conversation was developing around it," Pastor Christopher Rodkey.https://t.co/Q5ocitN7sR pic.twitter.com/l99wP0F1ii

A sign outside the Assembly of God church in Brockton listed service information along with the message, "Pray for Tom's Hand, Go Pats!" https://t.co/13BXtAmQ4x pic.twitter.com/7ycazWfADZ

"Shock your mom. Come to mass." -sign on a Portland church.
— Annie Zak (@annie_zak) January 19, 2018I mean if there was a direct correlation between praying on weather and an improved climate, I'd be at church every single morning.
"remember last winter? repent or I'll send more snow" --a church sign
— Malori (@muhloree) January 21, 2018Let's just hope there are some content filters.
Just saw a church in D.C. with a sign advertising free Wi-Fi. That’s either that most awesome or most pathetic thing I’ve seen.

Church sign in the country:
“Be an organ donor, give your heart to Jesus.”
Jesus: like hot soup for the soul.
Church sign: let the son warm your winter days
— Jessica Pruitt (@pruittyo) January 19, 2018I wish the the places around me growing up were filled with jokes.
Turns out if I just broadened my worshiping horizons when I was younger, however, I would've discovered that church signs have been cracking jokes for a long time now.
If only I had known!
All of this glory would've been mine.
I mean religious retail jokes? Come on!
Straight savage some of these signs are.
I mean that's a pearl of wisdom right there.
All right so some of them indavertently make fun of themselves, but still.
Good point.
Um...
Well, I mean, there's a guarantee...
Again with the puns.
Now some of these signs are just victims of unfortunate wording.
And some are straight-up manipulation.
How did this one even get put up?!
Holy Moly these are funny, intentional or not.
