There's a church just up the road from my trailer, and I drive past it any time I am actually going into Dothan. I'm a firm believer that churches really just shouldn't have signs big enough for slogans, because it is rarely ever a good thing. It's a random thing to feel strongly about, but the reality is that slogans short enough to fit on a church-front sign are usually picked because of how clever they are - but generally speaking those who drive by and actually read the sign find them not clever in the slightest. Nonetheless, one side of this particular church's sign says:
"We're not all the same but God loves us all the same."
What do you think about that?

O.K. You asked for it. If God loves us all the same, then how could he condemn anyone to Hell? From a parental standpoint I can understand the "this hurts me more than it hurts you" mentality, and punishing your children for their wrong-doings even though you still love them (or BECAUSE you love them), but certainly I would never sentence my children to eternal damnation. Being condemned to Hell for eternity doesn't exactly "teach you a lesson" because you're past the point of restitution or redemption. It is not an act of love. Who knows, maybe the Catholics have it right. Maybe purgatory is God's own version of the "time out" chair?
Your ever left-wing and heathen cousin,

Plus, from simply a "catchy phrase" standpoint, shouldn't it be
"God made us all different but loves us all the same?"
Much better.
I should write this stuff.
