In fact, it’s worse than bad; it’s bloody disgusting. It’s just wrong, on so many levels. First, let’s look at the citation. Exodus 20:3 in the book of myths and hearsay enjoins you to have only one god. Well, news for you, whoever put the sign up – the desert god, the god of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, is the same god. The three monotheistic faiths are simply different factions. If, and I say if, America ever has a Moslem president, he or she will still worship the same god as Christians and Jews. Exodus 20:3 will not be broken.
Then the claim that Barak Obama is a Moslem. Yes, a lot of idiots were screaming about that before the election. The same idiots used to foam at the mouth about the radical pastor at the church that Obama attended for years. Yes, church. Somehow, he attended church and yet he is a Moslem. How do you work that out? Was he an undercover Iman perhaps?
But what is worst of all is that some pig-ignorant pastor or priest, a man whose job is to lie for a living, especially to children, has taken the time and trouble to spread this garbage As we know, there are certain rather dim people who think “If the pastor says it, it must be true.” and will believe anything these charlatans say, without bothering to examine it. Thus this sort of poison spreads. I am in favour of free speech so I agree with the man’s right to say this, but that doesn’t mean anyone has to believe it. Everyone is entitled to his opinion, but not everyone is entitled to have his opinion taken seriously. I would like to think that a lot of people in whichever town that sign has been erected will show their contempt by staying away from that church. Sadly, I am sure a lot of people won’t.

I'm tired of this. Tired of people who are actually smart and thinking people falling for stupid crap like this. I have friends who can look at this and see it for what it is, and others who believe the stupidness. It's exhausting. I keep thinking that once we get past W in office, things will get better. But really, I think I'm kidding myself, and there's no reason to think this crap will change.

N, it's always amazed me (no,... AMAZED me) how many righteous Christians have no clue that their religion was born of Judiasm (or that Jesus was a Jew and not a Christian - heh heh heh). And how many don't realize the same-God thing you're talking about.
NO FREAKING IDEA!!
Scary really.
Whomever put up that sign needs to be de-collared.
I only hope it was a badly misinformed volunteer and not the pastor him/her self.

I really can't think of anything more terrifying than ignorance in large groups.
Oh, wait...yes I can. Throw some fanaticism into that group.
It's funny how often the people pointing a finger & shouting "sinner" in the name of God are the ones acting less Christian than the people being pointed at.

It's insanity. I can't believe the lies that people believe. The truth has so little value today.

surely it shouldnt matter what race or religion the president is as long as he does a good job.

I was wondering why the country seemed to be going to hell.

I love the slogan "A Church Without Walls." Apparantly there's a few they don't count.

Actually, Christians worship a trinitarian God. His name is Jesus. Jews and Muslims pretty much disagree with us on that quite vital point.
Politics is ugly. People can be uglier.

Clearly a church without wall - or ethics, or brains of their own for that matter. Scary!

Where did this sign appear? Is it real or photoshopped?

plus, in the bible it says to PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS. lets see, and as a christian you're supposed to be encouraging right? it just makes me wonder...is that a CHRISTIAN church?
