Liars and hypocrites describes whoever made the sign. There's nothing in the Bible stating abortion is wrong. It IS mentioned in a part about a priest giving adulterous wives a bitter drink that aborts a fetus if she got knocked up stepping out though.
Honestly folks, it makes me doubt if the gunshow parking is even free, if they're just making shit up for the sake of signs now....
And as far as I recall, drunkenness is only really condemned as a "you can be better" sort of thing.
I mean, it worked out well for Lot and his daughters.
In the new testament, Jesus was big on helping the poor, sick, even incarcerated people. Alcoholism is a disease. Not making excuses for the afflicted, but it's hypocritical to straight up condemn the sick if you claim to follow a belief system based around forgiveness and helping those in need.
I should probably stop talking now before the GoP tries banning the Jesus parts, calling him a brown skinned socialist or something....
But the old testament has enough WTF moments to make the showrunners from The Boys blush. Lots Daughter's are definitely up there. King David's hobbies, not to mention the collecting of skins between Killing Goliath and becoming king, the sex and begatt-ing.
All I'm saying is that if some of these conservatives could actually read, their heads would spin.
You obviously don't know, before Jesus hand wrote the US Constitution, he taught Christ-Fu classes. Yep, Master of all the Bronze-Age Martial Arts he was.
Heās probably not think much of it, given he was an illiterate jew in first century Palestine. Now if he was told what it said, heād probably be worried, but not really disagree with the message tbh. He wouldnāt have a concept of hell, but the things the passage is against? No way he thought they were good.
So. These people have hitched their wagon to a man who is known for bare minimum 3 of these things?
From where I'm starting, it kind of seems like they're *ALL* guilty of hypocrisy.
Only good thing about Ohio is legal weed. Well, the people spoke and voted for it but the Republicans are delaying it so they can figure out the best way to exploit/make money from it.
Proud to be a law abiding, 2nd amendment supporting , conservative, Catholic retired Air Force veteran! Remember criminals donāt give up their guns or any other weapon.
Not really proud to be a law abiding, 2nd amendment supporting with common sense restrictions, absolutely not a Bible thumper or any other zealot thumping Army veteran.
Remember never underestimate the power of stupidity.
Edit: clarity
That's what toxic tribalism does to people: tries to put every person in a box.
"Oh you believe X so you must be Y"
It's so lazy and corny. Taking individualism out of the equation is as ignorant as it can be
These areas are full of people that moved here from West Virginia over the last couple generations. Beautiful state. I love West Virginia. But how these people voted destroyed the areas that they came from. They moved here and are completely destroying these areas, as well. This migration is also the reason you often see more of the bad types of hillbillies in Ohio now than you do in West Virginia.
This kinda reads like people dissing on āforeignersā and āillegals.ā
Iām also fairly certain that if there were a mass exodus from WV to OH, it wouldnāt move the voting needle much in any direction. One of our C cities probably contains the entirety of the voting age population in WV.
There was a mass exodus, but the important part happened nearly 100 years ago. People ran out of money trying to get to Detroit and settled where they ran out of money.Ā
Not just from WVa ,Ky and many parts from the Appalachian region migrated to various parts of Ohio because of the growing needs for workers. Dayton had a large manufacturing base here that offered work for anyone wanting to work. Generous Motors, NCR, even Wright Pat. We even had some steel mills that was sung about in a CW song. Unfortunately the old ways of settling disputes came along with them. Thus a bad repution was created, thus God and guns.
You are right the auto industry was huge in Dayton. GM was everywhere. I wonder how many folks remember Larry Flint came to Dayton because of the manufacturing.
Don't forget the person really pushing lust, was Larry Flint who started Hustler magazine right here in good old Dayton, Ohio. I wonder what Jesus thinks about Dayton and Ohio?
No, I didn't, but I do remember as a kid growing up when the Klan members would stand on the street corner in Miamisburg in full hood and robe handing out literature about joining the Klan and that God and Jesus was only for the whites. They finally gave up no one took the their material.
Up here in the Cleveland area, I have noticed that I480 is slowly becoming a gauntlet of pro-religion billboards.
And I-90 on the east side is starting to get pretty bad as well.
Good god, I live nearby. I just canāt. If you drive north on 75 you will enter the territory of religious billboards. My favorite one has in huge letters āShackeled by Lust? Jesus sets freeā.
I mean, you can rent the sign and put whatever you want on it as well. If you don't like it, do something about it. I'm not religious at all but it's just a sign and nothing to really get upset about.
Doesn't make a diff to the people preaching. To me, the Dead Kennedys said it best: "circus tent con men and southern Belle bunnies/milk your emotions and steal your money/it's the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles/peddling cheap nostalgia for the Salem witch trials...
Rundown buildings, empty streets, nobody around. That's rural ohio. It's the kind of place where nothing ever happens but a lone gunshot at 2:00 a.m. and the occasional report of domestic abuse. Brings back memories.
I think Christians real message gets lost in the rhetorical statements. They say OBEY JESUS OR HELL and their practical message is they hate cowards, wife beaters, liars, child abusers, hypocrites, meth heads, every-day drunks, and so on. Christians need to work with the community more than that.
Fortunately the Dayton area doesn't have a lot of the hellfire billboards.
I really don't get the messaging style. The only people who would be pulled in already believe.
BTW, Hebrews 5:9 (KJV) is
> And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him
Nothing about hell, fire, or sin.
Yeah....pretty unfortunate. But it's always been redneck. Hell, I grew up in the suburb called "Hubertucky", and believe me, the nickname is appropriate.
Perfect, only could have been better if it was Fla but I see the slush in the parking lot. Originally from W.Pa. close to W.Va. Special places thanks for sharing
So you'd love to hear a little disinterested chuckling and maybe see an eye roll? I mean I guess that could be exciting. I go past billboards with stuff like this with "woke" people all the time. You might be confusing real people with imaginary straw men.
The gun show being on Infirmary Rd š¤š»
Does Hebrews 5:9 mean 4 dissented?
I mean, with the nightmares in that book, 5 outta 9 ain't bad
No
Well, Herra Arena isn't around anymore, so they had to go to the next best place.
It's missing the state trooper speed trap sitting underneath it.
Musta went to the gunshow?
š
Love it.
Talibangelicals
Down south we call them Y'all Quaeda
That's the best thing I've ever heard and I'm gonna start using that
Two thumbs up.
Fornicators, liars, hypocritesā¦starting to sound like a Trump ad.

Shit, what a side hustle...charging for parking at an Ohio gun show. Generational wealth š¤
Until they stop leaving between gunshows and you become a really cheap landlord accidentally....

Quote: "There's nothing in the Bible stating abortion is wrong" Are you kidding me? You really believe that?
It basically is.
Sorry pal, Iām choosing hell !
American Christians today making Jesus work EXTRA hard to pay all that āhypocrisyā sin
At least we know he didn't die for nothingššš
Hell please.
I think we're already there
Well when you interpret it as "okay Jesus or we will make your life hell"... I can't argue
You are correct sir.
I love that it says liars and hypocrites like thatās not a large percentage if not majority of the religion.
Yep. That forgiving, throw the first stone Jesus again. Bring the kiddos and grab a gun, praise be!
I often wonder what Jesus would think if he were to see billboards like this and how people politicize his name.
He was big into self-defense, but this sells.
But, was he?
You obviously don't know, before Jesus hand wrote the US Constitution, he taught Christ-Fu classes. Yep, Master of all the Bronze-Age Martial Arts he was.
Heās probably not think much of it, given he was an illiterate jew in first century Palestine. Now if he was told what it said, heād probably be worried, but not really disagree with the message tbh.

lol, that is Ohio. 1 mile back is a billboard advertising a strip club
Ah, I was wondering where it was. I knew either a strip club or adult "bookstore" had to be nearby
Only good thing about Ohio is legal weed. Well, the people spoke and voted for it but the Republicans are delaying it so they can figure out the best way to exploit/make money from it.
Constitutionally protected abortion.
Unfortunately, yes, but itās also every state, so theres that.
It's what happens when you let rurals feel important.
I saw the gun show billboard and I heard the "Bill Goodman gun and knife show" jingle from the 80s-90s
Stab a buddy, shoot a friend!
I can still smell the Hara Arena ballroomā¦.

Dayton had a huge number that came up from Kentucky when the auto industry was in town too.

Don't forget the person really pushing lust, was Larry Flint who started Hustler magazine right here in good old Dayton, Ohio. I wonder what Jesus thinks about Dayton and Ohio?
I take offense to this. West Virginia doesnāt have hillbillies. Those are in Kentucky. West Virginia has mountaineers.
Thank you, goofy ass billboard, for informing me what Bible pages to use as toilet paper next.
Man, you're so edgy and kewl!! This comment made my day
Maybe we could find jesus a little easier if they had used bigger nails
Hell for me, but I do have plenty of armory to defend against religious wingnuts who want to send me there prematurely.
Guess I'll obey hell they've got better musicians on staff.
I'll go to the gun show. The Cult of Trump has guns and there willing to use them. I want to be able to fight back.
Maybe actual fire would make it more believable, or at least more entertaining. /s
I feel like with the top sign, I'm being given an option
Soā¦ donāt vote for Trump?
Ohio: The Kansas of the Great Lakes.
Good ol' Armpit of the USA
Florida is Ohio with a beach and is also Americaās dong.
Paid for by the Antioch Fellowship, makers of the Holy Hand Gernade.
One, Two, Five...
For any non believers; that sign does more harm then good. The tone itself feels Fear-mongering(a sin). Not to mention Hebrew 5:9 doesnāt say that.
"The Elect" isn't doing them a lot of favors either; "the elect" according to who? Themselves?
Did anyone else read the "Dayton Street Preachers" as being part of the liars, fornicators, etc.?
No, I didn't, but I do remember as a kid growing up when the Klan members would stand on the street corner in Miamisburg in full hood and robe handing out literature about joining the Klan and that God and Jesus was only for the whites. They finally gave up no one took the their material.
I think I'll obey Hell - this Jesus dude doesn't seem to be cutting it around here anymore, and at least Hell looks like a ***LOT*** more fun.
This is an overused template
Well, the laws of the old testament allow abortion and Jesus never said anything about it.
What is "Jesus Hell" like? Is it like, really nice and uplifting? Mildly irritating? Super chill and restful?
Sounds like Ohio!!!! Crazy and definitely not Christian
Ohio...4 letters. Hell ..4 letters... coincidence? I think not
obey hell
Hypocrites? So they all chose hell too, just for different reasons.
Things started off scary but ended in a gun show, I like. š
Love Ohio , Iām in the east and believe me Ohio I miss it and Iām coming back
All it's missing is a third ad for an adult video store!
Well, at least I have two options, Iām allowed to obey Jesus or Hell. I gotta say, Hell seems to have the cooler followers.
So I either have to obey Jesus or hell? Well, alright.
Hey, Iām an optimist, parkings free!!
You will need this to defend the other.
Yup What would Jesus do with an m16?
Watch South Park where he fights alongside Santa against the Satanist woodland critters ..
Merica.
This is Ohio asf.
Now I don't want to obey either.
Good news. Neither of them are real, so you donāt have to obey them.
Addresses the same audience.
I was driving through rural Ohio and there was a gun raffle. At the school.
How else are the teachers gonna get their guns? Can't fall too far behind TN..
Come on now we have abortion clinics in-between šš
Did anyone else start singing the āBill Goodmanās gun and knife showā song?
Stab a buddy, shoot a friend!
Thatās the song š¶
Nah you don't have to not do all that stuff to avoid hell. Just vote GOP and you're golden. Ask the Archbishop.
Yes.
It's the entire Midwest. Driving east on I-70, you start seeing "guns" and "Jesus" billboards shortly after crossing the Colorado/Kansas line.
Donāt forget the phantom firework ones. And the occasional sex shops.
Up here in the Cleveland area, I have noticed that I480 is slowly becoming a gauntlet of pro-religion billboards. And I-90 on the east side is starting to get pretty bad as well.
Can't have god without hate!
Itās actually just idiocracy.
Oh fuck yeah the jerk is always unreal at the gun shows and there's always someone who doesn't know what they have that you can get cheap
Donāt you know Jesus loved guns and America? He would have shot up at least 5 schools if he had the chance
Where Egos are bigger than the state of Texas
Good god, I live nearby. I just canāt. If you drive north on 75 you will enter the territory of religious billboards. My favorite one has in huge letters āShackeled by Lust? Jesus sets freeā.
As an Ohioan, sadly that tracks...
So I can obey Hell? That's a new wrinkle.
Looks right
I mean, you can rent the sign and put whatever you want on it as well. If you don't like it, do something about it. I'm not religious at all but it's just a sign and nothing to really get upset about.
Or heāll what?
But Jesus didn't say any of that stuff. Hebrews is old testament.
Doesn't make a diff to the people preaching. To me, the Dead Kennedys said it best: "circus tent con men and southern Belle bunnies/milk your emotions and steal your money/it's the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles/peddling cheap nostalgia for the Salem witch trials...
is the sign asking me to choose which to obey?
Hypocrite is on the sign, guess we're all going.
Rundown buildings, empty streets, nobody around. That's rural ohio. It's the kind of place where nothing ever happens but a lone gunshot at 2:00 a.m. and the occasional report of domestic abuse. Brings back memories.
Bill Goodmanās Gun and Knife show Call a buddy, killll a frieeeennndd.
i choose HELL, thank you very muchā¦0
And a good rifle/pistol combo!
āAnd being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey himā How is that āJesus or Hell?ā
Yes, this is Ohio
Well we just can't make up our minds, so there's options
So awful.
Couldn't be more perfect.. Lol
Jesus ? I aināt never met him but heās sounding pretty bossy.
I think Christians real message gets lost in the rhetorical statements. They say OBEY JESUS OR HELL and their practical message is they hate cowards, wife beaters, liars, child abusers, hypocrites, meth heads, every-day drunks, and so on. Christians need to work with the community more than that.

What's funny is several of the "Dayton Street Preachers" repeatedly engage in those vices.
Jesus and guns! I love Ohio!!!!
Craziness.
How dare ohians practice their right to freedom of speech, religion, and to bear arms? š
This is merica
I'll take James Brown's album 'Hell' please.
Oops, they put hypocrites on there. Shouldnāt this go in leopards ate my face?
The irony in citing an Old Testament text (describing the Hebrew/Jewish god) to justify the ideal of Jesus is fantastic.
Makes me think of HELL IS REAL
Accurate
Fortunately the Dayton area doesn't have a lot of the hellfire billboards. I really don't get the messaging style. The only people who would be pulled in already believe.
BTW, Hebrews 5:9 (KJV) is > And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him Nothing about hell, fire, or sin.
Accurate
Maybe you can buy a crossbow and some flaming arrows at the gun show?
Yeah....pretty unfortunate. But it's always been redneck. Hell, I grew up in the suburb called "Hubertucky", and believe me, the nickname is appropriate.
Watching this sub and the rest of reddit absolutely lose their minds the past couple weeks has been so entertaining. You all are completely nuts!
Or heāll what?
They use the daffy trump method
Always has been.
Hell yeah it is, ope, sorry about my language
I bet the Greeks were really disappointed when they got to hellā¦ āwhat do you mean Zeus isnāt real?ā
Thatās THEE OHIO that I know
Why not both?

One more gun show I missed, damn.
Hell is beyond terrifying
Kill em all and let God sort em out! šš
I think god is tired of all the sorting, he doesn't have time to do anything else.
can confirm
Perfect, only could have been better if it was Fla but I see the slush in the parking lot. Originally from W.Pa. close to W.Va. Special places thanks for sharing
That's it we're changing the states name to ohellyea
Anyone been to that gun show?
Yup
Hell ya brother!!!

So you'd love to hear a little disinterested chuckling and maybe see an eye roll? I mean I guess that could be exciting. I go past billboards with stuff like this with "woke" people all the time. You might be confusing real people with imaginary straw men.
> some woke "people " do you not know how quotes work? or do you believe they're woke but not people? I'm very confused.
So, summarizing the entire state in the top one, eh? Lol But serious, I want to see these street preachers in action. I just wanna see somethin.
They are homophobic and bullies they call people names I wouldnāt want to interact with them
