"God hates homosexuals, and so do we!"
submitted by new contributor Sammi H., AR
John 3:16: For God so hated homosexuals that He gave His one and only Son, that....

What, no? That's not how it goes?

2 Peter 3:9: ....God is patient with you, not wanting any to perish (except those damned homosexuals)....

No? Not that either??

James 2:10: For whoever keeps the law and yet stumbles at just one point should consider themselves superior to other people and take every opportunity to be condescending....

NO?? REALLY?!?!

That Bible can be a pesky little book, especially when it totally disagrees with your "theology".

Hey church, I found Jesus for you. I think if you turn around about 180 degrees, you'll find Him.

Since today's post is completely unrelated to Crummy Church Signs, I thought I might throw this at you as well. Some of you know I used to play in a band. I finally got around to uploading our only music video. I thought some of my longtime readers might enjoy seeing this. I'm the bass player, and this was filmed back when I had hair :) . The girl in the video is my sister, frequent contributor to CCS Emily. Enjoy!

Christine's Crummy Vacation

Frequent Contributor Christine recently took a trip from VA to FL and back, and unloaded a slew of church signs on us. This entire post is dedicated to Christine's Vacation of Crumminess:

"Birthdays are good – the more you have the longer you live."
...and the longer you stay away from that "heaven" place.
------------------------------------------------

"He who has no fire in himself cannot warm others."

And he isn't nearly as much fun at parties.
------------------------------------------------


"Sunday: How *not* to get to Heaven."
Do we need help?
------------------------------------------------


"Trees don’t produce fruit for themselves."
For real? Has science screwed this one up too?
-----------------------------------------------


"Start the fire: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."
Put it out: Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
-------------------------------------------------


"Welcome truckers, bikers. Altar open daily"
Car drivers: Altar closed.
---------------------------------------------------


" 'I got robbed at Calvary Christian Center.' -Satan"
I robbed Satan at Calvary Christian Center.' -Some chump who is for sure lying.
----------------------------------------------------


"Sometimes the cross we bear isn’t ours."
Well, congratu-freakin'-lations.

Maybe at church, our focus should be one the guy who bore our cross for us. Just a thought.
----------------------------------------------------


Thanks, Christine! I hope your vacation wasn't marred by the crumminess of these signs. If the rest of you think she should have spent more time vacationing and less time writing down crummy church signs...well, I only used about half of the ones she submitted!


For those keeping score at home, Christine helped with the reviews on signs #3 and #5. In fact, #5 was all hers.

"Oops I did it again"

What....stole somebody's spouse, had a couple kids, got divorced, packed on 35 lbs., bounced in and out of rehab, showed the entire world your hoo-hah, and then shaved your hair clean off?

Or is that just a sermon title?

Seriously...God is blind? On your church sign?

Dad also saw a church named "Bright Idea Missionary Baptist Church". I think that's my favorite name ever. We can just picture their logo: God with a pensive look on his face, finger to chin, with a light bulb over his head.

I Can't Drive Sixty-Five

My full humor blogs dot com review has been posted.

I "earned" a respectable score of 65 (69 being the highest score given so far, I think), which I was somewhat surprised with, given the one-trick-pony nature of my blog.

Thanks to all the fine reviewers who took the time to peruse the site, and thanks for the suggestions. Thanks to Diesel for setting up the review process for all of us. Oh, and Diesel, about Dionne: You're right, I knew.

Tomorrow...back with more crumminess. But not TOO much, because I now want my post lengths to be shorter :)

Oh Say Can You Snark...

Back from my trip to St. Loo to see The Police in concert. Great stuff.

Happy 4th everyone! Be sure to check out my holiday-themed crummy letter over at Central Snark, if you haven't already. By the way, with my recent concert adventures you can expect another music-themed crummy letter shortly.
