kael — I don’t think people are “against” these billboards in the sense we want to prohibit them from going up. They have every right to put up their billboards.

That shouldn’t stop us from criticizing the message, though, and in this case, while the message is clever, it’s based on the belief that Satan exists and that’s just silly.

It is interesting to me, that many of your are so “against” these signs and their beliefs. However, some of you would put atheist boards up and proclaim your beliefs. That seems contradictory. I am a christian who’s closest friends are agnostic, buddhist, methodist, catholic, atheist..etc. and It is very frustrating to me that many of you bash “us” and put “us” in a box, without knowing anything about who we are as a person most of the time. Religion for me is not about rules and guidelines that I am suppose to follow, its about having a relationship with God, who sent his son to die on a cross so that I might live forever with him. ITs about loving people whether they are gay, transvestites, christians (who don’t act like it), or any other type of person. Maybe it would do you some good to stop condemning others because they don’t believe the same way you do and love “christians” whether they act superficial or not. Christian or not, we ALL make mistakes.

“When I lived in LA, I often passed a billboard that said, “Keep using my name in vain. I’ll make rush hour longer.” –God “

I love it when they make testable claims.

Were I a spoiled rich girl, I’d make a billboard out of Luke 14:26

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

This would be a good thing if the evangelicals embraced this and didn’t take themselves seriously, but they actually believe this crap.

I agree!

That “Love Thy Neighbor” one isn’t too bad actually…

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with it (although I question whether it’s going to get anyone to change their behaviors in any way). But is it by the same group? The second one pictured has a web link on it; the neighbor one is anonymous. Plus the tone is completely different from the rest.
