Stupid slogans on church signs

One of my biggest peeves as a believer was church signs with stupid slogans, usually some idiotic quote that didn't even come from the bible, but yet they put God's signature at the end. I always wondered what the objective of these mentally retarded signs were.
I think it would be fun for everyone to keep their eyes open and post some of that crap in this thread for everyone's amusement (at least mine).
Here's 2 that I've seen recently:
"Prayer: The original wireless connection"
and...
"I love you, and you, and you, and you, and you.... -God"
The punchline of that one is that the sign was on a busy highway.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong section.

"We accept everyone. Come as you are"
This was a sign on a baptist church. I wonder what they would do if a bunch of people from the LGBT community showed up.

This past holiday season I saw one that read "All we want for Christmas is your presence"
Every time we passed this sign I would mutter "and 10% of your income."

"Come on in and hear someone being paid to speak for God."
Yeah, that wasn't a real one. I've seen some very dumb ones, can't remember them right now.

I saw this in a parking lot a couple of years ago (I think I've posted it before:

Passed by one just this morning: "If you don't love Jesus you WILL go to hell."
I had seen this one on bumper stickers, as "If you don't love Jesus, you can go to hell", but this was the first time on a church sign. Lovely sentiment. Makes me just wanna rush my chubby little tattooed lesbian atheist self in there and give 'em a big hug.

Gotta see this shit everytime I take the highway into Columbus.
There are more behind it, listing the ten commandments. I think that trying to hook people driving down the highway by making implications as to their mortality (and purported fate) is the definition of a predatory faith. Could have just as easily gone with "Heaven is Real"...but no.....apparently that aint this assholes style.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Outreach attempts from the Baptist world are always so pathetic.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Most annoying are any which purport to quote "God", as if a god ever said a word to anyone!
I sort of like this one:
Mr. Hanky loves you!

Makes me wonder, what's the point of wasting the time and resources on a sign like that?
