Thanks to Micah for the post title as well.

submitted by frequent contributor Rev. Randall HildrethWe've already had a memorable guest review of this sign: Who can forget my sister Emily's classic "A Hemi?" riff?
However, I did like the review that Rev. Hildreth sent in with this particular version:

Sin in the Garden of Eden was God's plan all along.

Isn't there a verse in Proverbs about not counting your chickens or something??

Ironic Catholic is hosting a series of "Interviews" with Christians bloggers regarding their view of the role of humor in Christianity. Today it's my turn!! Check out our interview and please leave comments. Thanks for the great questions, IC!
Be sure to look at the previous interview, too, and look for future interviews (including some with a frequent contributor or two here at CCS)

Keep 'em coming.
Seeing the word swallow on a church sign even when referring to the bird is just icky.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I've heard that pride is chock full of protein, too!
That's a tough one.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to come up with something tasteful for the Messiah Lutheran sign.
Hey, thanks for the great answers. Now that I have time, I inserted some of my own comments to your answers in red (reminiscent of the words of Jesus and all).
ReplyDeleteFYI--Plan B sign--referring to the generic phrase or the "damn I may be pregnant" abortifacient? I tell ya, it's a crummy sign either way, but that makes an interpretive difference!

I hear that it helps to drink pineapple juice before you swallow your pride.
ReplyDeleteI've heard it's a myth that pride contains no calories, nor is it good for a sore throat.
ReplyDeleteI find it a little saddening that one of my favorite sites would imply that God does have a plan B.
ReplyDeleteSome of us don't limit our belief in God's sovereign action to "good" things that happen.
However, if the sign is intended to refer to the medication, it leaves itself open to fantastic ridicule from about six and a half angles.
You know what, "anonymous"? You're right. I totally agree with your post. God is Sovereign no matter what
ReplyDeleteSo perhaps my review is indefensible, but I'll say this: Though true, this sign possibly not the best way to introduce the gospel to a complete stranger passing by on the street.
I'd love to have more of a conversation about how I might do it differently if I had to do it again, but I find it hard to interact with anonymous internet entities.
