Hide your crazy...

So I’m driving today and I look out the window because a huge sign in the center of a compound of double wides has caught my attention. First let me paint you a picture of what I was looking at. Five double wides, set in a semi circle, half dozen four wheelers, at least three cars on blocks without plates, and on one side of the sign a huge cross with Jesus hanging on it, and on the other side two deer, taught and strung up by their hind feet, with slits down their center and blood dripping from their insides. So this, what can only be described as magnificant, sign says in big black letters “Jesus or Hell, you choose. He don’t take Homos, Terrorists, Jews, Muslims, or Sinners” Only Hell was written in red and it was circled and had flames around it.
Where do I begin? I like that they specified sinners at the end, as if, in the case of born again christians, everyone isn’t considered a sinner. Now I’m wondering what posses people to put stupid crap like that in their front yard. Hide your crazy people. People don’t want to see that shit, it just pisses them off. I mean come on, seriously. But I guess I do live in the deep back woods of the mountains, I’m talking like white supremacist territory. Where you don’t let people know you are Jewish or Muslim or Gay or an Obama supporter or really anything but a God fearin', Bush lovin', gun tottin' Republican, sell your stocks, cash in your social security and stock up on canned food folks a negro has been elected president the world is coming to an end.
Where is the peace, love and acceptance that the bible teaches? Clearly not down in the mountains?
