A new controversial billboard reads "Christians Are Jerks". But guess what! It's not an atheist billboard. It's a Christian billboard.



Quote from: "url=http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/texas-church-uses-billboard-to-declare-itself-a-bunch-of-jerks-ncx-101510]FOX[/url]"]A small Texas church is using a giant billboard to describe itself as a "bunch of jerks," the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.

The Christ Covenant Church in Beaumont paid for the sign along the I-10 near College to acknowledge its failures to the local community.

"How do we tell this community that we want to be different? This is like our mea culpa. We know we've failed," said Chris Beard, the church's lead minister.

The billboard is meant to direct people to a website about a new sermon series, "What a Bunch of Jerks: Teachings of Jesus too often ignored by the church."

Christ Covenant Church has a 150-person congregation and was formed when a Church of Christ merged with an independent church in 2004

Well, they are. At least someone's trying to be honest about it - if with a dishonest agenda in mind

I ask, what hope do we have for unity when I see schisms erupting amongst the dried meats?

Plenty of reasons.  Childhood indoctrination often plays a big part.  Some minds can't handle the psychological ramifications of shunning ingrained beliefs.
