Sign of the Times
I don’t go out of my way to do it, but a couple times a month I like to check up on the sign out in front of Christ United Methodist Church for their inadvertently revealing messages. Here’s two that have actually inspired me to stop and snap a photo.
Maybe I need to work on my comprehension skills, but I interpret the first one to read something to the extent of “I don’t care what the truth is, I’m happy with what I believe” or “Willfully ignorant and proud.”
The second one…wow. I’m not sure what they were trying to get across, but I read “Last stop: Crazytown, Population: God!”
I dunno, maybe those are inspiring if you’re not a cynical prick.

I bet pastor Thomas Cross is one wacky dude. He’s probably the pastor that goes to sleep at night thinking the kids are all saying ‘Pastor Cross makes religion fun and hip!’ I’d be willing to wager in fact, that he’s a one man revolution against tyranny if you liken ‘revolution’ to zany parables about Christ and liken ‘tyranny’ to a boring sermon. Example? Ok.
Pastor Cross - “So Jesus isn’t that unlike some of you bodacious dudesters, ripping around on your thrashboards.”
Kids - (Eyes flickering closed from severe depression and boredom) “Really pastor… tell us more.”
Pastor Cross - (Singing) “Jesus Christ went out to skate, Then he remembered about his faith, He got of his board, and Sin he ignored, to preach against the hate!”
Kids - “Go fuck yourself Tom.”

That reminds me of the time we changed the “No Skateboarding” signs at *unnamed local church* to read “Jesus Was a Skateboarder”.
Took em a while to get those things down.
