P.S. When you call God sadistic and useless you are pretty much admitting that He exists so...total fail on that one, atheists.
I'll let our president explain the reasons behind anti-Christian arguments.

As far as those bright Jesus signs though, how DO they get them so high up on the poles? That's really the intriguing part for me.

Yaaasss! That is exactly what I'm saying!!!

Controversial atheist billboards up in Charlotte | WSOC-TV

Really? It seemed to me that this was a very large component of exactly what you were saying:

As I was driving down Capital Blvd. today, I noticed the "Call Jesus" sign on the telephone pole.

Did you get it? "CALL" Jesus on a TELEPHONE POLE!

I agree! All these signs look trashy!

And it is a road hazard when they are putting them up. The Jesus guy parks his white truck by the utility poles and puts a ladder in the bed of his truck to get them up high! It is not safe for him or anyone driving by.

Down with the trashy Jesus signs! They're destroying the warehouse/stripclub/hooker/motel ambience.
