Just the thing I need, how nice

An actual sign in front of an actual church.

I'm not sure what to make of this.  Somebody needs to have his/her level of TV/movie watching drastically reduced?

What would Dr. Wertham do?

I think that church may thrive on weird signs: http://beable.livejournal.com/464979.html

No idea about Dr. Wertham.

I'd wonder about the constabulary's reaction, though.

Er, what constabulary?

The thing is, that sign isn't unreasonable if one just doesn't think along those lines at all, and is focused on the Platonic purity of God's love, or whatever. (It does suggest the value of having one's ideas vetted by someone who has a somewhat different viewpoint from oneself.) But I can't think of any point of view from which the current sign isn't over-the-top. All those exclamation marks..!

But he was. I can see it from the light in which those exclamation marks are meant to emphasise the horrible manner in which Jesus not only died for your sins, but was ...

That's essentially the Easter story!

Gurrrr, it's horrific. I kinda winced when I walked past it earlier this week thinking 2 things: "that's a very...different...sign for a church." and "uhhh...I don't think about Jesus that way".
Apparently, Jesus was on the Klingon path of Kalhia (sp?):Deprivation, Blood, Pain, Sacrifice, Anguish, Death
and then just to be mean, someone threw in violation.
