Hard-hitting theological commentary

Posted on August 17, 2003 @ 7:09 pm

While driving to Atlanta today, I couldn’t help but notice several “God billboards” alongside the highway. These billboards have been up for awhile in several states, and some of you have probably seen them yourselves. They feature a simple black background with white text spelling out such messages as:

“Let’s meet at my house Sunday before the game.” - God
“What part of ‘Thou Shalt Not…’ didn’t you understand?” - God
“Keep using my name in vain, I’ll make rush hour longer.” - God
“Have you read my #1 best seller? There will be a test.” - God

Although I’ve seen these billboards a zillion times, today something struck me. God (or, more accurately, His public relations staff) is really quite passive aggressive. With that kind of attitude, just imagine if the competition started running ads:

“I’d sacrifice a couple of goats for you.” - Satan
