Poll: Is this Church sign offensive or just hilarious

[Pingieking]

Totally inappropriate! How dare they suggest that Joseph had a performance issue!?

OT: That was godly good. If those people that come to my house asking "Have you found Jesus?" had opened with that instead, I'd so be a Christian by now.

This is hilarious and the people who made should feel good.

 

[Hargrimm]

Awesome.
I can see why people could find it offensive, but you've got to be able to take a joke sometime.

 

[Acier]

I found it funny and I'm a Baptist.


But I can see how some people wouldn't like it, but whatever.

I think it is funny. Maybe to a super religious person it is offensive, but then again I think you should always be able to laugh at yourself and your beliefs.
Who put up that sign. Was it the church? If it was, that is my new church. I am not a very religious person, but if that church is nearby I am going to visit it just because of that sign.

I think the sign does show that you can have an idea of humor about everything and you do not have to be all serious all the time. Little jokes like this, whether you are serious or not, can just brighten the day.

This sign might actually be benefitial for the church. I know churches are not some store good or something that can be advertised in ads, but the sign does get your attention. It does draw in interest and that might actually bring in more people to the church. I think that it might really help get new church attendors.

Whats so offensive? Joseph and Mary had sex after Jesus was born. The bible says he had a few brothers (and a sister if Im right) so whats the big deal?

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

That's brilliant in every way I can think of. Made my night, seriously. I'm going to go to sleep right now just so that image is the last thing for the day.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Funny, I always did wonder about that.....

 

[Blanks]

Since I'm not religious in anyway (heck i can barely spell it... thank you auto spellcheck XD)

Yes that's ****ing hilarious XD

I'd guess that God was, you know... God-like? It's a pretty tough act to follow, Joseph could have been huge, but God just has the "and then he smote her with his divine power" thing going for him - no man can follow that, except possibly Batman or Samuel L. Jackson.

OT - I laughed. I tried not to 'cos it's 3.30 in the morning here, but dammit I laughed. If it matters at all, I'm fairly religious and didn't find it at all offensive.

i had an awesome 15 years of catholic teachings and found this funny i found it even funnier when i showed my uptight Christian friends and they laughed.

That, was, great and it brings up a great point, how do you follow an act like God? Realistically God created sex (according to the religious) so he would know all of the right tricks...

Note to self... if I die and meet the man, ask for pointers, especially if I think I might get brought back

"Now we're going to try the reverse hallelujah, okay?" That would be fun to say.

In wich way was that offensive? I don't mean to sound stupid (although I bet I am to some level) but I don't see what that could possibly be offensive about this. Is it that it leads to a sexual joke? Are sexual jokes offensive if they are christian or expressed by a church? I don't see how this is offensive in any way. Maybe some would be offended by it, this would be the same people that would acuse you for being rasist for laughing at a joke with a black person in it or acuse you for threatening them if you look upon them.

 

[Levitas1234]

I did not believe it until source was put up and i must say that this is just spectacular!

 

[Daze]

I wish there was an option for mild amusement (voted for hilarity instead). I didn't double up laughing, but I snickered. Poor Joseph.

 

[ScruffyTheJanitor]

Hate how people who are christian take offense so easily. I'm not christian, but I'm glad that I know Christians who have a sense of humour and the ability to laugh such things off. It's weird how some people thing of god as not being able to have a good laugh, even if it is at his own expense. Hell, if i can do it...

But either way, don't see it as offensive, nor see it as hilarious. Mildly amusing but I found this a lot funnier.
