Photos, cartoons, marquees (April 2019)

Larry Roszkowiak sent us this photo of a church marquee that created a stir in January that ended with the pastor being forced to resign. At the Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church in Weed, Calif., three women organized a “Love Rally” in opposition to the sign’s message. Pastor Justin Hoke posted on Facebook: “The response we’re receiving from this sign proves that it was posted way too late. If a conservative mountain farming community is no longer a safe place to call sin, sin, then is anywhere in this country still safe for real Christians?” Days later, Hoke resigned after hearing that multiple people threatened to leave if he did not step down as pastor.

FFRF Board Chair Stephen Hirtle sent us this photo for the caption contest.

Photo by Chris Line FFRF Director of Strategic Response Andrew Seidel, left, shown with FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker on the set of FFRF’s “Freethought Matters” TV show, has a new book called The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American. Sterling Publications will be releasing the book in early May. FFRF members can order in advance at ffrf.org/shop to receive an autographed copy. Andrew is donating royalties for books purchased through FFRF. Madison, Wis.-area members are invited to Andrew’s first book signing in May at FFRF’s office in Freethought Hall. (If you’re local, look for an invitation soon.)

Rik Smith sent us a photo of this marquee from a church in Kennewick, Wash. He writes: “I was kind of disturbed by the imagery it presented.”

Linda Allewalt of Kentucky sent us this photo of a church marquee. “I saw this church sign after spending the day visiting some new distilleries and tasting some nice bourbon,” Linda writes. “If God is in bourbon, then I agree with the sign!”
