Do You Find The New "You Don't Need God" Billboards Offensive?

in spiritual darkness, under the power of Satan, without hope, enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, being hated and hating others, spiritually harassed and helpless, with many woes, in the trap of the devil, under the dominion of darkness, spiritually dead, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry, sexually immoral, impure, greedy, living an empty way of life, slaves to sin, homosexuals, thieves, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers, wicked."

Well, that explains a lot about my current life. :laugh: I am definitely under the dominion of darkness.
I'm somewhat on the fence about this billboard. The message itself doesn't offend me, of course, since I totally agree with it.
But as someone who is always annoyed by Christian (and anti-abortion) billboards telling me what to think about God and fetuses as I drive along the highway, I hesitate to endorse the posting of a similar message from the "other side." I'd be in favor of limiting our billboard content to radio stations, hospitals and restaurants and letting people sort out their religious beliefs on their own.

LMAO @ "Christian in their heart".

I've heard that at a few funerals of people who'd never expressed any particular interest in religion. Both times it was based on the account of a hospital chaplain who asked the dying patient 'can I pray for [or with] you?' and they nodded.
--- Quote ---The list of those "unsaved" is not surprising, although I did chuckle at "slaves to sin" description. I pictured a man in shackles, chained to the word "SIN" in big, red letters.

I found the "living in debauchery" rather appealing myself. Haven't been able to afford much debauchery in the past few years. ;)

Ha! Your comment made me smile. That's sure a long list of sins. But, we were given joie de vivre, so I think a higher power intended us to have joy and happiness. There's nothing wrong with that! :)
I'm offended by the billboards, because I don't believe any side or anywhere in the middle, has the right to tell someone else what or how to believe.
