A News article tells of the story behind this sign in front of a Sydney baptist church and the criticism from The Australian prime minister.
I’m happy to hear of kindred spirits in the world. After 9/11 I posted a sign on my door that read:
GOD BLESS AFGHANISTAN
PRAY FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN
It was torn down multiple times in the first few days I had it up. Then I made a t-shirt, and it got comments from people left and right. I made a new shirt when we went to war with Iraq and it met similar resistance.
So, it amazes me that there are whole churches out there that are clear on the radical love Christ calls us to, and it doesn’t surprise me that there are plenty that are opposed to it.
Anyone else ready to erect a Jesus Loves Osama sign at their church?
I would post it in a heartbeat!! Although, we’re not currently attending a church at the moment. sigh.
Thanks for sharing, Ariah!
