Some more genuine church signs from www.churchsigngenerator.com . I particularly like the last one. "A spirit filled church", is a nice touch. Very Old Testament. Their God is a smiting, fighting God urging his people to take up arms against his enemies. Does anyone have a favourite Old Testament tale involving God's gratuitous smiting, genocide, etc.? What's the most outrageous tale? Personally, I think Abraham and Isaac is hard to beat. As Alexander Waugh relates in his book God - The Biography .

Yes, it probably is. This is a genuine church sign (I'm correcting first post, which said it was a spoof - it's not). It's from a library of such signs held at www.churchsign generator.com (hit their link to "real church signs").
