Bonanza of God's Billboards

Posted: Jan 23, 2007 | Comments: 1 | Views: 598 | Bookmark and Share

Once upon a time, Americans traveled the highways searching for the latest word of God. But not anymore! Those same roadside messages, plus a batch of new ones, can now be viewed anytime at home on your own personal computer. Google currently lists nine sites carrying these "messages from God."

Do you remember the original billboards? Someone in Florida started the ball rolling with eighteen messages in white type on black billboards all "signed" by God.

South Florida motorists spotted such disarming “quotes” as:

* Let's meet at my house before the game. -God

* C'mon over and bring the kids. -God

Others messages spoke in a friendly but more serious tone:

* What part of "Thou Shall Not ..." didn't you understand? -God

* That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing ... I meant that. -God

Now the messages have gone from billboards to cyberspace. A couple of sites include the original eighteen sayings as well as a good number of new messages. Evidently, God keeps coming up with new ones. Hey, the graphics are great! Check them out! Just plug "God's Billboards" in Google and click on the top sites.

Like the originals, these new "quotes" vary from witty to thought-provoking. For instance:

* All I know ... is everything. -God

* If you must curse, use your own name! -God

* The real Supreme Court meets up here. -God

As a public service (or disservice depending on how you look at it), I've rounded up the whole lot of God's Bilboard messages for your edification. If I have missed one, let me know.

    Am I in a “Jesus-only” church? Funny thing is, you might be in one - a Jesus-only church, that is - and not even know it. The sign in the front yard of the church you enter on a Sunday morning might identify it as a Baptist or a Lutheran or a nondenominational community church, but don’t be so sure - according to the MPAA, a Baptist church produced a “Jesus-only” movie last year! Read this article for the details.

    –“Philosophy (nature) is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes. I mean the universe, but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in the mathematical language... without whose help it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word of it, and without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.”

    Can you play the guitar? Is it your hobby or you are the professional guitar player? It’s very easy and comfortable performing before your friend or peer. But the same performance, if you need to do in front of aliens in the jam-packed room and before the audience, you will surely drench with sweat. Of course, we all love to be a rock star to pick up all the chicks.
