I doubt Southern Christians could understand the sarcasm, but I still want a campaign of billboard signs with quotes like these across bible country

That’s a gofundme I would throw a few bucks at. How much does it cost to take a few billboards for a month or two on I-40? A few thousand?

I don’t really know where I-40 is or have an answer to your question, so this comment is tangential at best. Sorry.

Last time I drove through Ohio there were two kinds of billboards, often alternating:

  1. Jesus hates sinners! Repent!
  2. Hardcore strip club with naked ladies and full penetration, next right!

It was quite an entertaining dichotomy.

This is interstate 40.

Your experience is very similar to what my trip through SC on I-95 was. But with some occasional regional things. We went a little out away from 95 just to cross buc-ees off the bucket list.

Southern Christians had their own version of the Bible to justify slavery. They told these stories to their slaves.

Do you know if they still adhere to the slavery Bible? If so, they probably wouldn’t even know how far from what Jesus actually taught they are, and our billboards would be useless lol
