Most obnoxious highway billboard EVER
It's on Hwy. 41 between Oshkosh and Appleton, in Wisconsin:

"One Nation Under Me."
--God


I had no idea God had an ad budget. I wonder who he hires to do his ads?

1. Why did he even need a billboard? Couldn't he just use skywriting?

5. Do you have any idea who sponsors them?
I'd like to send them a note thanking them for spending money on signs instead of helping people....

Here's the site. These signs were news items a few years ago except then they said stuff like "Let's meet at my house Sunday before the game." Now they've gone political.

12. You know, they're not trademarked or protected by copyright
Nobody owns the trademark for "God."

I think Landover Baptist owns the trademark for "Baby Jesus."

Anyway, the point is...

We can make God say anything that WE want him to, also.



So, anyone wanna chip-in to pay for a God Billboard?

you know, something that i could verify.

14. go to Omro
Right to the west of Omro on Hwy 21 there is a billboard (facing west) that has a guy being stoned to death and all bloody (cartoonish thankfully). It says "Rejected God's only son". It's been there since I was little, quit disturbing.

15. Did God's son hit on him?
I thought they were in favor of rejecting that.

20. There are lots of these "Signed, God" billboards in Florida.
There's one that says:

What part of "Thou Shalt Not" do you not understand?
- God

30. Hate to break it to them, but
God doesn't really need a billboard to get his message out and he sure doesn't need people like them to do it.

And if they'd read their Bible correctly, they'd see that God doesn't even mind the separation of church and state. Really. (One of my former pastors loved to use that line!).
