I was alright until the 2nd one down.
Then I really got screwed when the 4th one down was unveiled.

    apparently, fun isn’t allowed for them.
    which really refers to number 4, but if the rest float other people’s boats… well… i love jesus.

    haha nice
    i cant stand those people.

    *friendly reminder to update “MAY’S FLAVA” TO “JUNE’S FLAVA”!

    los…which side were you talking about?

  4. C.C. aka LorelaiCC 1 June 2008 at 6:53 pm #

    Definitely forwarding this one to the hubby. I know he’ll get as much of a kick out of it as I did!

  5. Chris Meirose 1 June 2008 at 6:55 pm #

    Aren’t these a little redundant? Seriously, couldn’t you just put in bold letters IDOL WORSHIPERS?

    “Repent, Turn to Jesus…because He wants to make your life boring!” – I am glad Jesus was the one hanging out with those who needed Him, not holding signs up pushing them away.

    This is what Jesus would have said to them, I’m sure: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces…”

    seriously, child molester and liar on the same page? where did you find this?

  8. Jason Cole 1 June 2008 at 7:08 pm #

    No wonder Christians have such a bad reputation for being haters and extremists. I’m sure the media used this picture to report on some event. I just want to ask people “what are you thinking?”

    Not much love or grace in that sign…

  9. nate davis 1 June 2008 at 7:11 pm #

    whew! I’m glad I smoke crack and not weed!! I was wondering. I’m so glad they cleared that up for me..

  10. Cole 1 June 2008 at 7:12 pm #

    Shouldn’t it be “Heaven’s Most Wanted”? The list could go on, but I can think of a few more: lazy, murderers, selfish, deadbeats, halfwits, republicans, democrats, policemen, brain surgeons, gluttons, etc. Name your flava, we’re all in the same boat apart from grace.

  12. Ryan Fitzgerald 1 June 2008 at 7:13 pm #

    sports fans?

    GO BRAVES!!!!

  13. Nick 1 June 2008 at 7:14 pm #

    Yeah, because we all know Peter went to Hell for lying 3 times that he knew Jesus. And I bet Rahab’s enjoying those flames, because she pretty much fit two categories (Prostitute and Whoremonger, wait aren’t those the same?)

    Anyway, I would change the list from Hell’s Most Wanted to God’s Most Qualified…

    I didn’t see “Judging” on their list, Hmmm…

  14. Lindsey 1 June 2008 at 7:22 pm #

    Oh man. I’ve seen this in person. We get these guys on campus every so often, telling all us students how we’re on the fast track to hell.

    I think the sign I saw also included “rock n’ rollers”.

    Craziness.

  15. jason 1 June 2008 at 7:24 pm #

    I disagree with all said categories…except for sports fans.

  16. juliebelle 1 June 2008 at 7:26 pm #

    I think that somewhere between “whoremongers” and “pot smokers” they should have included “assholes”.

    I do appreciate that their sign has no objections to my potty mouth.

  17. Jim Henry 1 June 2008 at 7:28 pm #

    Winning people to Christ…one picket sign at a time! I once predicted the score of the Superbowl…I guess that makes me a “psychic sports fan”…I’m screwed!

  18. tunz 1 June 2008 at 7:31 pm #

    I would have seen this earlier but I spent all weekend at a basketball tournament. Then I was busying making arrangements for my trip to hell..I’m really not that excited to go but I hear they have a hell of a softball team.

  19. Caleb Porter 1 June 2008 at 7:32 pm #

    What about bad graphic design? If youre going to judge at least do it aesthetically.

  20. Chelsea 1 June 2008 at 7:57 pm #

    Sports fans? Wow, I haven’t seen that one in the scriptures. I thought running the race was a good thing.

    What exactly is the definition of a whoremonger, anyway?

  21. Reese 1 June 2008 at 8:00 pm #

    Is there really a need to put psychics on there? I’m sure they already knew!

  22. Tim 1 June 2008 at 8:08 pm #

    I’m iffy on the first, being reformed, but 2 and 4… God loves Hockey and Soccer. The Devil shoots, Jesus saves!

  23. Tim 1 June 2008 at 8:10 pm #

    Tertullian did talk about Christians participating in sports as being immoral, but that was back when more people died during the contests.

  24. Crystal Renaud 1 June 2008 at 8:21 pm #

    that’s quite the varied list.

  25. Rocks In My Dryer 1 June 2008 at 8:23 pm #

    Oh, mercy…yeah, that will really point people to the cross, won’t it?

  26. Tyler 1 June 2008 at 8:23 pm #

    well im drinking a beer…so im sure they’d have me put down for #1…that sucks.

  27. Kevin 1 June 2008 at 8:52 pm #

    I love how Pot-Smokers makes the list, but I guess Heroin and Coke are ok.

  28. Tim 1 June 2008 at 8:53 pm #

    Tyler, depends on the beer. Guinness can be considered a sacramental

  29. Brad Metzger 1 June 2008 at 9:09 pm #

    That’s solid.

  30. Kelly 1 June 2008 at 9:21 pm #

    Um, so if I root for the Angels, does that make me a “forgiven” sports fan?

  31. Chris Baker 1 June 2008 at 9:32 pm #

    They forgot one…

    “People who hold these signs up in large crowds.”

  32. amyharris 2 June 2008 at 2:36 am #

    I’m pretty sure that hating your neighbor is bad too, and circular logic states that if love does not take pride in itself, and this is obviously a very prideful sign, then these people are not loving their neighbor as themselves. Ick.

  33. Chris S. 2 June 2008 at 3:19 am #

    Looks like drug lords, murderers, slave owners, and those responsible for genocide are safe…

  34. Timothy West 2 June 2008 at 3:51 am #

    My goodness i thought that things like this dont happen any more. I mean you watch the moviews that take the mic out of chrsitians that protest against Gays saying “God will smite you” (Chuck and Larry). But to see this for real is a shame and only gives Christians a bad name. I mean no where in the great commission does it say that you should scare people into heaven by showing who going to go to HELL…

  35. Amy 2 June 2008 at 4:00 am #

    I’ve seen this type of tactic used in person as well. In fact, one of the young men holding the sign looked me right in the face and screamed that I was “going to heeeeeyaaalllll!” At the time I ignored it, but now I wish I would have stopped and said something.

  36. Pete Wilson 2 June 2008 at 4:18 am #

    And we wonder why they don’t like us very much?

  37. FireMom 2 June 2008 at 4:35 am #

    Crap. I just posted about loving sports.

  38. connor 2 June 2008 at 4:43 am #

    looks like i’l see you in hell then Carlos, coz we are obviously not actual christians… lol

  39. Ashley 2 June 2008 at 4:46 am #

    Haha, this reminds me of when we were on a mission weekend in ATL with FCA. When we were leaving a football game we went to, people were throwing signs in our faces like that. One guy told me I was going to hell if i didn’t repent of my sins. Ironically i was on a mission trip :D
    (side note: Going on a mission trip doesn’t save you, Jesus saves you. Just found it funny that he judged me before he knew me)

  40. Tammy Marcelain 2 June 2008 at 4:48 am #

    I wonder what the requirements are to qualify for the job of sign holder?

  41. Karen 2 June 2008 at 6:07 am #

    Sports fans. I am ruined. Also, masterbation?? I will not comment on that one, unless enticed.

  42. Karen 2 June 2008 at 6:08 am #

    I misspelled masturbation. I am humbled.

  43. Michael Harrison 2 June 2008 at 6:13 am #

    anyone left off the list? praise God for His endless and sweet forgiveness!

  44. Adrienne 2 June 2008 at 6:19 am #

    Hmmm…definition of whoremonger…well, prostitutes are already up there, so maybe whoremongers are pimps??

  45. randy 2 June 2008 at 6:30 am #

    why the hell do people feel the need to make lists anyway. Whats the point?

    the banner should say, “Christs Most Wanted”

  46. april 2 June 2008 at 6:52 am #

    Hell hath no fury like a RedSox fan!!! ;)

  47. vaughan 2 June 2008 at 7:36 am #

    i was good until sports fan, which only makes it worse since i went to a sporting event with a whoremonger, psychic, & an evolutionist. time to start the good deeds, i’m in the hole bad!

  48. Valtool 2 June 2008 at 7:39 am #

    I think I lost track when I identified about 7 of those that I qualify for.

  49. Crispy 2 June 2008 at 7:46 am #

    Do you think the person holding the sign realized he/she was on the list?

  50. Scott Fillmer 2 June 2008 at 8:54 am #

    Sports fans, man I screwed now… any idea where this was, just trying to make sure I know before I move there :)

  51. Summer Kelly 2 June 2008 at 9:49 am #

    Oh, dear… they seem to have left one off:

    JUDGMENTAL HATERS

    Should I call them and let them know??

  52. Rita 2 June 2008 at 10:08 am #

    I’m just so confused about “sports fans”. Some bitter wife got to put in her two-cents when they were making this sign, I guess.

  53. Amy 2 June 2008 at 10:34 am #

    I am going to be frank. Seeing stuff like that is why when I was younger I became and am not anymore but was athiest or against organized religion in general. Who is anyone except for God or Jesus Christ himself to say who will go to hell for what and why?!? That is rediculous and I hope and pray for people like that to see the error in there ways and understand that in my oppinion actions like that are what sway a lot of people to not want to have anything to do with God or religon of any sort.

  54. Bernard Shuford 2 June 2008 at 10:37 am #

    Whew. Thought I was safe. Then I saw the second to last one. Then I realized what the one above it said. And yup, I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.

  55. Nick 2 June 2008 at 10:48 am #

    Sadly, these are the type people who when they fall into sin, they fall hard, and it is usually at a point of no return. Not to say they are not saved, but they have been so brainwashed and influenced that it is their guidelines and rules they have to live by that makes God happy, that when they give into one of the issues on the sign or get caught in one of them, they have only one option…to believe what they have preached and yelled at to everyone else. They totally fail to see God’s grace and forgiveness. I’ve known many people like this.

  56. Robin 2 June 2008 at 10:50 am #

    I’ve been seeing something similar in my neck of the woods. Hope it’s not contagious.

  57. Texas in Africa 2 June 2008 at 11:32 am #

    I wonder why the lesbians get hit twice?!?

    Seriously, as I work on one of the largest university campuses in the world, we regularly have folks of this ilk show up to argue with/yell at students on the edge of campus. I wonder if they realize how much their efforts set back the witness of those of us who live here, working to show that Christians can be rational, loving, intelligent people?

  58. Chris Elrod 2 June 2008 at 11:50 am #

    Here I thought you’d only go blind if you masturbated…and now I find out I have to worry about going to Hell also.

  59. Chris Surratt 2 June 2008 at 11:59 am #

    They have a point. Cubs fans are going straight to hell.

  60. Heidi Reed 2 June 2008 at 1:44 pm #

    Wow. I guess that’s one way to evangelize. ???? Hmmm. I still don’t know what I think, but even being a Christian it makes me want to run the other direction. Sheesh!

  61. stephen 2 June 2008 at 7:36 pm #

    haha, which side?! nice…

  62. Megs 2 June 2008 at 8:57 pm #

    This is why people think christians are weirdos…
    Okay it’s okay to like money, right… cause money is what makes many things available to the ministry correct…such as their sign….just thought I’d point that out. maybe i’m looking at it all wrong.

  63. Valtool 2 June 2008 at 10:00 pm #

    I just remembered, I went to a FSU football game in Tallahassee in the late 90’s with a female friend. We were not dating, never did, just friends. As we were walking into the Doak a camous ministry group was offering free tickets to the game to anyone who would promise to stop fornicating. I wondered aloud that if we wanted the free tickets, would SHelley and I have to start fornicating?

  64. Peter Carino 3 June 2008 at 7:35 am #

    Every year we go to the Rose Parade and folks this come right after the parade officially ends. I have to explain every year to my kids what they are all about. It’s practice in walking in the fruit of the Spirit:-)

  65. Joni 3 June 2008 at 9:32 am #

    Since “people driving cars into people holding jackass signs” isn’t on the list, let me get my keys.

  66. ryan 3 June 2008 at 12:01 pm #

    the first time i read it i actually thought number 6 said “monkey-lovers,” and i thought, “how oddly specific…”

  67. sally 3 June 2008 at 5:24 pm #

    Ryan – “how oddly specific…” I nearly fell on the floor – laughing until my sides hurt! That was the best rely of all!

    There but for the Grace of God… right?

  68. Nick 4 June 2008 at 5:57 am #

    In the opening seconds of this video, I think Mike sums this up very good, the rest is geared towards Youth workers, but the first part is great!

  69. George R. Eddy 4 June 2008 at 7:13 am #

    I’m pretty sure it’s written somewhere that all Christians are hypocrites (listed near the bottom of the right column) without so much as one exception. That pretty much leaves me out.

  70. Leo 5 June 2008 at 3:43 am #

    On a positive note (haa!), they did a nice job of using alternating colors in their list. Hey, just trying to show grace! (hehe)
