Why I won't go to church every week, the guilt


I found this sign and article on Deadspin and it was too good not to pilfer and use in my own blog.
Churches use their signs to put up catchy little phrases meant to give you something to think about. I thought I had seen most eveything until I saw the one in the picture. My first thought was that it was pretty scummy to use God to make a point about Favre. Second, how do you or anyone else, know that God won't leave you for the Jets? Here are some more traditional phrases found in front of churches:
"If you don't believe in hell, then you should come and hear our preacher."
"Relief comes in the morning when you been on your knees all night."
"If Jesus can get his ass to church on Sunday, so can you."
"Your fall begins when you leave god."
"Too many people get married for better or worse, but not for good."
"Walmart isn't the only saving place".
“Are you wrinkled with worry? Come into church for a faith lift!”
“Don’t have anything to be thankful for? Check your pulse!”
“This church is prayer-conditioned.”
“The perfect church for those who aren’t.”
“Distribution center for the bread of life.”
“A shut mouth gathers no foot.”
"Yabba Dabba Do, God loves you"
“Life is fragile, handle with prayer.”
“God answers knee-mail.”
“Sign broken. Message inside.”
I could go on and on but I get tired of reading them and think they are usually a little pushy.
