For me it’s much less to do with the message and more about the presentation…
I have to remind myself… we do have freedom of speech…I just wish they could find a way to express themselves that didn’t turn so many people off from the message of salvation…and that didn’t make themselves a joke in the town…(because I HAVE to believe that they have their hearts in the right place…and are doing this for what they believe are the right reasons…and that’s sad for them too…)
I just want to know who got a hold of God’s calendar and nailed down May 20 as “dooms day” for all those who fail to heed the warnings of their hand-painted bumper stickers. Is that a hard deadline or is my salvation retroactive as long as my repentance is postmarked by that date?
I will give them some credit. The signs (that I can read from the picture) don’t condemn the world to fire and brimstone and are encouraging people to get saved rather than demanding they smash their secular cds and stop dying their hair. Still, there are better ways to promote God, and I can’t help but sigh and roll my eyes at this failed communication.

I’ve considered stopping… (and while it appears I have till May 20th…) I don’t see that ending well for anyone…
My mom always said…If you can’t say anything nice…
(drive by really slow and take a picture with your camera phone)
So frustrating !!!

While we all might gasp and think that’s outrageous, at least they have the guts to say what they believe. I don’t know many people who would do that.
