It’d be funnier if it were real. says-it.com/churchsigns is a church sign maker for things like this.

Still pretty hilarious.

The voice in his head is telling him to bomb Iran… Only Perry would think that’s god, everyone else knows that it is actually AIPAC.

You know this sign is fake because at many Episcopal churches now they read something like, “Jesus Was Pro-Choice”, “Save the Gay Whales”, and “Come See! Our Church Is Gospel Free!”

Really? Really? I’ve never seen a sign like those you describe on ANY church, including the Episcopal churches. But you say MANY Episcopal churches have those signs. Can you give me ONE example? Or are you just spreading false witness, and you’ve never ACTUALLY seen one.

I don’t know where this church was. I do know that the photograph was sent to me by a member of my family in New Orleans. I don’t make up things.

I wasn’t replying to you. Sorry you took it that way. I know the sign was made up, and I think it’s funny. I was replying to Texian Politico’s comment on the many Episcopalian signs he claims to have seen.

Yeah, we noticed the other day that anybody can be a hero on the church sign front, and made our own:

Ditto on everyone else. Funny, but not an actual church sign.
For another (very funny) series of fake church signs, go here:

Dana Milbank’s WaPo column, when combined with Perry’s non-contribution habits at church, inform us that what we have in Rick Perry is Everyman’s Sunday Morning Christian.

The sign is funny, real or not. We all know the only voice Perry is hearing in his head is his own. It’s the same voice that advocates less government intrusion in our lives, while another voice in his head offers a conflicting message supporting a sonogram law that doctors say imposes requirements that are medically unnecessary and that a federal court found violate the U.S. Constitution.

It’s called Perry’s EGO: telling him what to do and what to say.

I don’t want my president hearing voices from God. I prefer they hear directly from Amir al-Mu’minin as Pres. Obama does.

Doesn’t Governor and Mrs. Perry still attend Tarrytown United Methodist Church in Austin ?

No, they attend a church out in Westlake, near the 6,000 foot, $10,000 month mansion that they live in, instead of a more affordable and very convenient downtown condominium.
I think Rick often goes to church alone.

Here’s the right headline:

here’s the right headline:
“Robert misses the joke and exhibits sinful self-righteousness”

Looks like Perry met with the mullahs over the weekend, got their stamp of Godly approval:

The Perry campaign might have well of payed for the sign. It only helps him.I’m not saying they did but it only helps him in the South. So whoever did this, let me say that is not a winning strategy in the South.

I have a picture of a sign that says Dear Michele Bachmann, the voices in your head aren’t me. Signed, God. Choir Practice 10AM Sat. Same shadow. Same cemetery flowers. Same reflections. This isn’t a sign. It’s photoshopped.

Paul, I’m an lifelong Episcopalian. Internet references seem to believe this is a Texas Episcopal Chuch parish. It’s not. There is only one, it’s in Missouri City, and it doesn’t look like this photo.
I personally think the “signs” are a hoax. If they aren’t, I would appreciate someone who has seen them in person, to post the address of that specific church parish. No one who has posted that photo has made that available.
