God Used To Sell Food On Controversial Billboard

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial new billboard where God is apparently used to sell burritos and tacos for a local restaurant is raising eyebrows in Orlando's religious community, according to Local 6 News.

The large billboard for Moe's Southwest Grill is located along Interstate 4 and resembles one of the famous God Speaks billboards that began popping up on highways five years ago.

However, instead of the inspirational messages posted on the God Speaks billboards, God appears to be Moe's company pitchman, according to Local 6 News.

'I know a lot of people would get offended seeing that sign," a resident said.

1. It's as offensive as a sports player thanking God for winning the game.

2. WTF?

:wow:
That's so wrong on so many levels- and I don't even believe in God!

4. Reminds me of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (n/t)

9. Jesus Christ....

... for Technotron.


Love that movie!!

3. Better to sell burritos and tacos

using God, than to sell war.

5. These are parodies.

Some idiot floridian put up a bunch to sell all kinds of things: Bush, Creationism, etc.

e.g.: "Big Bang? Yeah, right." -God.

6. I don't see the problem. God would love Moe's!

7. I would think that would bother Christians more than secular types.

Seems pretty blasphemous.

From my standpoint, it's just stupid. And I've been to Moe's, it's a pale imitation of Baja Fresh, which is only passable Mexican food. Sadly, there is almost no decent Mexican food in Flori-duh.

8. Joey Bag of Donuts with black beans and tofu.... mmm.... God would approve

10. I hate those billboards

I'd eat at this restaurant... I'd go out of my way to eat at this restaurant... just to support their ballsy anti-fundie move.

11. Now I want to eat at Moe's!

and would eat there if there was one near me.

12. How is that worse than Rush Limbaugh saying he has

"talent on loan from God?"
