For some reason my area is the home of stupid church signs. I use the word stupid in many different ways and thus have formulated my own simply four level “Stupid-Ranking System”:
“Stupid-Funny.”
These are the signs that are stupid but they are actually kinda clever, funny and even harmless.“Stupid-Stupid”
These are the signs that are the ones that cause you to violently roll your eyes. They either don’t make sense, they are not funny or are just plain dumb.“Stupid-Scary”
These are the worst signs. They are scary. Often because their message is so hostile to the world. I often wonder whether Churches think these signs would actually want anyone to come to their church.“Stupid-Not-Even-Doctrinally-Correct”
These signs are fairly self-explanatory. If you are going to put a church sign on, please make sure it makes sense theologically.
Here are a few local church sign sighting from yesterday:
“Sign Broken. Come in for Message.”
Ranking: Somewhere between “Stupid-Funny” and “Stupid-Stupid”.
“Need a new life? God has a replacement plan!”
Ranking: Stupid-Stupid.
Considering these signs change at least once a week, I am sure there are more to come soon…
