Your post reminds me of something I saw when we lived in Knoxville in the 90's. The Alcoa Hwy leads from Knoxville to the airport. There was a section of woods and on a small tree right by the road was a small neatly painted sign which read HELL IS HOT complete with flames painted at the bottom.

Your post reminds me of something I saw when we lived in Knoxville in the 90's. The Alcoa Hwy leads from Knoxville to the airport. There was a section of woods and on a small tree right by the road was a small neatly painted sign which read HELL IS HOT complete with flames painted at the bottom. This was up for a long time until someone put up another neatly lettered sign which read "So was your wife". Both signs were gone the next day.
I remember driving on the highway to a conference in Indiana in the mid 2000’s when I came across a huge billboard that simply read, “You’re going to hell” with Christian symbols on it and scary red flames. It was so shocking to me I had to pull over and take a photo of it. I rememberr thinking to myself, ‘if going to hell gets me away from the lunatics who put up this silly billboard then I’ll be happy to go there.’ It seems to me that things in this country have just gotten even more loony since then, unfortunately.
That is a fabulous reply. My Mom always sang a ditty based on a Ken-L-Ration ad that was on TV in the 60's: "My god is better than your god, my god is better than yours. My god is better 'cause he eats Ken-L-Ration, my god is better than yours.
Thank you for my first good laugh of the day. It's rolling around in my head, too! Enjoy the trip with your grandson! I'm sure that will make you forget about the earworm!
I am originally from Lenoir, NC. Our claim to fame was Broyhill and Bernhardt furniture. I had been visiting my mom and was driving towards the Charlotte airport when I spotted a sign at the The First Christian Church of Lenoir. This church is on Hwy 321. I took a picture of it and have it displayed in my house. It reads “Dusty Bibles Lead to Dirty Lives”!

My wife’s mother use to tell them she was “so sorry you have such an angry God”.

I well remember that ditty. Now as I prepare to take my grandson fishing I’ll never get it out of my head. Turd.

I remembered the tune and the "better than your ____" but I didn't remember the subject of the ad. How funny to be reminded after all these years!!!
Brought back good memories—thank you for a welcomed chuckle 😄
Your Wife's Mother knew GOD is only love, no more and no less.
Reminds me of a Grateful Dead lyric: “I may be going to hell in a bucket, but I sure am enjoying the ride!”

LOL😆!
Religious zealots in Knoxville aren’t putting up signs (billboards occasionally) but they are still trying to establish Christian Sharia law.
ML, Exactly! “Christian Sharia law.” Exactly....
Love this story.
