I think this will be taken out of context by some people. But the pastor means well, he means that no matter how bad you think you are, you're welcome in the church

Since I am not religious... It has no impact on me.

(Just though I'd share that little tidbit.)

I agree with this but apparently there are people trying to get it removed.

The pastor says he has * another * controversial billboard going up next week as well...

I don't see why this is controversial. I would put it with the billboards that say "Hope you read my book, there will be a test....god".

If this billboard attracts enough attention then the Pastor in the church will get more attendees ..../or it will be taken down....if the town objects enough...

He is trying to get scumbags to repent for their sins... what's so offensive about that?
