The Auckland billboard shows a deflated looking Joseph and a disappointed Mary lying in bed together, with the caption "Poor Joseph, God was a hard act to follow." It was put up by Auckland's progressive Christian church St Matthew in the City. The vicar says he wanted to lampoon the literal Christian conception story and get people discussing miracles and God. But a few hours after the billboard went up, an angry man with a pot of brown paint covered over Mary... abc http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2410558/posts#comment Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:13:57 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2409774/posts An unholy row has broken out in New Zealand over a church billboard aimed at "challenging stereotypes" about the birth of Jesus Christ. A dejected-looking Joseph lies in bed next to Mary under the caption, "Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow". St Matthew-in-the-City Church in Auckland, which erected the billboard, said it had intended to provoke debate. But the Catholic Church, among others, has condemned it as "inappropriate" and "disrespectful". Within hours of its unveiling, the billboard had been defaced with brown paint. The church's vicar, Archdeacon Glynn Cardy, said the aim of the billboard had been... bbc http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2409774/posts#comment Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:06:27 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2394501/posts prepare_for_war.jpg http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2394501/posts#comment Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:12:06 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2392864/posts OMG lmao the ADL is going to go out of their minds with this one!

Phil Wolf, owner of Wolf Automotive, said the billboard asks a legitimate question about Obama's alleged lack of documentation of his American birth. "President or Jihad?" the billboard reads. "Wake up, America! Remember Fort Hood!" Wolf said politicians have not been held accountable.

A billboard recently erected in Wheat Ridge compares President Barack Obama to a terrorist and questions his U.S. citizenship. The billboard, located at 4855 Miller Road, shows two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a Muslim turban and reads "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?" It also says "BIRTH CERTIFICATE - PROVE IT!" alluding to the conspiracy theory which claims Barack Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, which would disqualify him for the office of President. The words "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" appear on the bottom of the billboard. (more...

The organization behind the billboard is called Secular Life. Secular Life is a group of about 340 people who consider themselves part of the non-religious community. On Sunday, they began advertising on a billboard in Green Hills, and already Secular Life is getting a lot of attention. "It just absolutely wrong place, wrong town, wrong timing," said Green Hills resident Donnie Cude. Something about the phrase "Not Religious, You're not alone", doesn't sit well with Cude.

If you are traveling in the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exit you will see a sign that appears to be anti-President Barack Obama.

Not only did the sight of it chill me to the bone, I notice the timing is close to 9/11 and Rosh Hashanah.
