When Chemists Attack

When I saw this post over at Not Very Bright, I thought for a minute that nvb had been fooled by the Church Sign Generator. But no … it’s apparently real.

I know not to expect brilliance from church signs, but I can’t help pointing out its wonderful logic. Pastor Byrd, author of the sign, wants us to believe that because the name “Obama” looks a little bit like “Osama”, Obama must be a (scary) Muslim! If that’s the sort of argument that will persuade a typical Jonesville Church of God member, then …

Convincing argument, is it not?

Edited to add:

Pastor Byrd’s seen the light! Or, at least he’s tired of being criticized all across the country for his foolishness. He’s changed the sign.

Pastor Roger Byrd said that he had just wanted to get people thinking. He said that the message wasn’t meant to be racial or political.

A message containing a false smear of a presidential candidate was not meant to be political? What a load of bull. Pastor Byrd: when you find yourself deep in a hole of your own making, stop digging!
