Posters

There is a church near me (there's probably one near you, too) that reliably displays some sort of 'inspirational' poster. These range from the mildly amusing (e.g. a few Advents ago: picture of TARDIS; caption: WHO IS COMING TO SAVE THE WORLD?) to the bemusing (really, what was the point of that Alpha one with the wheelie bin?) to the irritating to today's teeth-gnashingly infuriating one:

God is dead - Nietzsche

God is Dad - Jesus

P. S. Nietzsche is dead - God


Argh. The top two lines would fit into the amusing-to-irritating range, depending on temperament, but that P. S. is just horrible. If I thought God were so smug, vindictive, mean-spirited, rejoicing in the demise of one of God's own creatures, as to write something like that - well, I would not have been on my way to church.


Also the iron has broken.


ETA: I've just discovered that the in-laws' ancestors were Unitarians, not Baptists at all. There's a difference!
