I don't know what to call them. The signs right in front of the church, out by the road, with plastic letters that are changed every week. Everybody that drives by sees the clever catch-phrase of the week.

Ah, I'd call that a marquee.

The ones that piss me off are the puns. "We pray on the weak and defenseless" and crap like that.

Not really sure why, but this really tickled me.

Fear and hate are not useful states of mind.

This is exactly the problem I have with anybody who uses such rhetoric. They are ENCOURAGING people to hate. Hate what? Hate WHAT I TELL YOU TO. The minute a person, group, or government gets to make the rules about what you are supposed to hate and reject, you get charming social exercises like the Holocaust and Rwanda. You also get silly perversions of religious philosophy and produce stuff like the Shakers or the Mormons. And eventually you get Dubya, who by the same logic can tell an entire country that if you do not agree with his agenda then you are "Against Freedom/Pro Terrorist" and must be hated by Real Americans.

Usually Catholics avoid such things as the movable letter signboard. Unfortunately the Catholic Church up the street from me is trying to be hip, perhaps to attract more Protestants, since nobody listens to the Pope on that no birth control thing anymore. Two recent signboard notices have been ...

"If God had a wallet would your picture be in it?" and "The best vitamin for a Christian is B-1."
