Has anyone seen the blatant Christian Billboard signs demanding devotion in downtown Dallas near Deep Ellum or near the bar districts?

So what? I doubt the billboard company cares what goes on the sign, as long as it's a paying customer.

I take it you are all religious people who believe that sex before marriage is pure evil. Okay. Because Christian billboard signs is like the antithesis to what the bar scene represents.

Now the point that I was making is that it's really bizarre that enormous billboards such as the aforementioned that would be placed directly in the center of a bar district.

Religious bilboards are not uncommon. Ive seen Christain, Scientologist, and Muslim bilboards in the Dallas area in the last year off and on. Just ignore them. You dont have to join a church just because you see a bilboard.

How did you get that from their posts? I'm wondering if my eyesight is broken or something.

Because they were very defensive about my post. Isn't that obvious? Christianity means you have to stop sinning i.e., no drinking, no dancing, no sex, no homosexuality, no swearing, no lustful thinking, no overeating, no vanity, etc. I'm just stating the obvious.

I've personally never seen any enormous Christian billboard signs in bar districts in Texas. Sorry but it seems weird to me. Like the drinkers are going to feel guilty and start drinking orange juice instead and attending mass on Sundays....

You don't seem to know much about Christianity, except for less than basic concepts. Not all Christians think alike, just like any large group that is able to self identify.
