The God Billboards

[Mistress]

I am not too...comfortable with God over the last couple of years but I do believe in him, no matter how much he 'hasn't' come through for me in the past or present. However I always found the God Billboards amusing....

I saw my first one last year when I went to michigan for a week and visited with Xander,Valdimer,Ravenloft,NS,and NSW. It's a solid black Billboard with a message from 'God' written in white. This morning I got a email from my baby bro's mother with a few in it. I'm not sure if anyone else knows what I'm talking about but I'll post the list I have. I saw maybe a total of about 5 of these:


Tell the kids I love them.
-God

Let's meet at my house Sunday
before the game.
-God

C'mon over and bring the kids.
-God !

What part of "Thou Shalt Not..."
didn't you understand?
-God

We need to talk.
-God

Keep using my name in vain,
I'll make rush hour longer.
-God

Loved the wedding,
invite me to the marriage.
-God

That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing...
I meant it.
-God

I love you and you
and you and you and...
-God

Will the road you're on
get you to my place?
-God

Follow me.
-God

Big bang theory,
you've got to be kidding.
-God

My way is the highway.
-God

Need directions?
-God

You think it's hot here?
-God

Have you read my #1 best seller?
There will be a test.
-God


Do you have any idea
where you're going?
-God

Don't make me come down there.
-God

"You think it's hot THERE?"

There's more but I cant remember. These things are all over the place in Missouri along 66 and 70

I've seen a few of these around, though not the complete list.

I think they're pretty darned witty and a great example of an inventive and clever way to get a message across without getting into people's faces. Kudos to whomever came up with this one!

 

[Silverluna]

I think they are great....I even saw a bumper sticker with the Thou shall not thingy on them....It's nice to see them sometimes...usually thought provoking or draws a small smile from me .....^_^

While channel flipping I came across one of my favorite things -- a Christian Channel "sit-com" with cool high school kids who get into all these situations and, with the help of Jesus, get out of them. I love them because some writer sat down to make the kids sounds as real and ordinary as possible, just to show that Christians aren't kooky. The dialogue is SO awful, so mediocre, so forced, and so contrived that I just can't stop watching. I forced my wife to watch with me. "Wait for the Jesus moment, honey" I kept saying. "The moment when an adult or friends finally invokes Jesus, and all the problems are solved."

I could watch it for hours. That and the Billy Jack movies.

Dixon,

What channel is that? Is it national? I wanna watch.

Are you talking about Fire by Night???

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I have no idea what it's called. It was on one of the Christian Channels. The call letters have a "T". I've seen similair programs on other Christian Channels. I love them. I think it goes back to how much I enjoyed the "Davey and Goliath" claymation cartoons as a kid, which were superior in every way to this dreck.

 

[MissTaken]

"Jesus is coming,
are you ready?"



There is some mediocre christian programming out there, my kids seem to enjoy the programmin and the music. Whether or not this will count in liew of mass everyday, I guess that verdict TBA!



Yes, most of the kids are smiling so much and have such large teeth, they look like they have been dabbling in someones coke stash!

The first time I saw the billboards I thought they were clever.

Then I saw the one about the best seller - My questions is - which one? Bhagavad Gita? Koran? Bible? Torah? Book of Mormon? Latest Harry Potter? Chronicles of Narnia? Something else I haven't learned about yet?

Now I think they're a bit arrogant - kind of like the way I feel about most religions.

But the Mountain Dew Davey and Goliath commercial is great. It's what I always knew Davey was thinking but couldn't say - because the Lutherans were paying him to be so pure and innocent.

weird how God went from a burning bush to a billboard

That sounds funny.

Christian broadcasting powerhouse LeSea Broadcasting is in South Bend, so we get some entertaining fare (which makes up for the fact that they take out even "damn" and "hell" when they air "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" or "Full House" or whatever). I'll never forget the rappers. It looked like an ordinary rap performance on a talk show, until I heard phrases like "kickin' it for Christ" and "JC's in the hizzouse!"

I could not stop laughing.

I thought they were pretty clever: understated, witty, contemporary--until I saw this one.

What, god doesn't believe in science? SSDD.
