Gaaah. Religous yard signs. [View all]

Any of you have these showing up in your city?

Since the 2012 election, we've had a bunch of these around town. Until a few weeks ago our neighbor had one that said something like "Religious Liberty, Our Most Cherished Freedom".

They seem to have originated at one of the Catholic churches since I saw the same thing as an enormous vinyl banner in front of their church.

Now I'm seeing "Keep Christ in Christmas" popping up.

It's taken me years to get back to enjoying Christmas, but sometimes these Christians can take the fun out of it.

Edit. found a photo of the original ones. Also an article. Appears this was a Nebraska thing that has spilled into my state (IA).

A group of Nebraska Catholics has created and donated banners for 147 Catholic churches that bear messages about defending religious liberty, the unborn, and marriage between a man and a woman.

“They are outstanding banners,” Fr. Ryan Lewis, pastor of Omaha’s St. Thomas More Parish, told EWTN News Oct. 26. “I thought the message was incredible. The people in my parish are all fired up about concerns about attacks on religious liberty as it relates to the current administration and the HHS mandate.”

One of the banners reads: “Religious Liberty: Our Most Cherished Freedom.” The 4-by-12 foot banner also bears the website address of the Archdiocese of Omaha, though the archdiocese is not a financial backer of the project.
