Disgusting attempt at increasing pregnancies to fill church pews.

For the first time in 2016, “No Religion” topped a survey of Americans’ religious identity, according to a new analysis by a political scientist. The non-religious edged out Catholics and evangelicals in the long-running General Social Survey.

Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University and a Baptist pastor, found that 23.1% of Americans now claim no religion. This trend has increased since then.

Don't forget to give your children loaded handguns as soon as they're able to hold them and pull the trigger - don't doubt God's power, because if you have true faith you know he'll protect everyone.

This goes directly to the comment I made regarding how religion and the religious try to control people's lives.

They're so busy trying to control our sex lives, they can't even root out the predators within their own flocks.

Makes me think that they really don't want to.

Why on earth would anyone trust what they have to say about human sexuality?

No one should. Ever.

How incompassionate and lacking in love.

Sounds like dirty minded Christians. Since, they watch more porn than we do.

And we all know where that leads. Often this is pure BS to get more followers of this sort of (non) thinking.

So stupid and pretentious

This was happening when I moved to the area. I was shocked. This is deep bible belt territory.

They also appear to have the same attitude about Covid..

Apparently it isn't a church anymore, but someone in town is (was?) always updating the sign with those types of messages lol

The church exhorts these views to generate mentally and emotionally disturbed people that the church can readily manipulate. It's as perverse as it gets; only murder would be more cruel.

This sign is doctored to get a rise out of us! Do you not see how some of the letters are carelessly photoshopped on top of the grid lines that should divide each letter's plate?

That sign has the worst advice I ever saw. It is hard to believe a church or anybody or institution would utter such garbage.

That's gasp funny, but not far from the truth.
So many fundy raised teens are either not taught birth control methods because "abstinence only" or think having a condom means they are thinking about sinning.
So when inevitable hormone things happen...girl gets pregnant...forced marriage by parents...rarely happy marriage.
Who of us would want to be with the person you banged at 16 forever?

Wow, what great pearls of unmitigated and unabashed bullshit.
This magical, imaginary, never to be seen, never has been seen and never will be seen Daddy in the Sky is so awesomely powerful that,
a) it could NOT create a male and a female human being, at its very best it, AND if you actually believe the twaddle called religion, created the Homo Sapien version of Dolly the Sheep, the mythological Adam, from DUST BUT,and here is the cruncher, NEEDED HUMAN tissue to create the mythological FEMALE counterpart, Eve.
How come that, did Omnipotent Sky Daddy suddenly run out of its eternally inexhaustible Supreme God abilities as well as not realizing/forgetting that " You cannot make an apple into an apricot nor can you make a silk purse from a sows ear", since reason and logic dictate that LIVING material taken from one source CANNOT become ANYTHING< gender speaking, but the same gender as that of the source of the material.
b) Well Sky Daddy has been such a GREAT Benefactor has he/she/it not?
6,000+ years, according Biblical Mythology of course, in the first few hundred/thousand years SKY Daddy either ACTIVELY encourages the SLAUGHTER of Thousands, if not Hundreds of Thousands of people, men, women, children, babies and even unborn babies, ( REMEMBER these too were the Creations of Sky Daddy, a LOVING Sky Daddy btw) then we have the Great Flood of Noah, reason for, Sky Daddy has a bad hair day, ergo EVERYONE but Noah and family MUST be ERADICATED, a rough estimate, Human Death Toll = approx. 10 Million give or take a hundred or so thousand, Wow what Divine and Heaven sent Protection ALL those dead received.
Yes, Sky Daddy protects everyone of course NOT.

What?

Let me know how that works.

The faithfools will believe in trusting god to protect them.

I'm curious to how you came upon such a sign for a church. It's very unusually extreme for a church to be so presumptuous. I'll go out on the limb and place a sense of conjecture that this sign was developed on a sign site where you can create you own message then copy it for comparison. They provide various types and styles of religious signs to do this for those seeking to purchase a new sign. These types of sites became very useful for racist to productively spread their hate and false narratives when we were facing large middle east immigration and asylum seekers as we were destroying their countries. Many false narratives from these and meme creating sites littered facebook during the Bush presidency.

Ok….. so in other words…..

Good luck with that.
