church signs and politics

ok so me and stacey have seen some pretty moronic chuch marquee signs around the area lately, now i know you all have seen your fair share such as "God still answers knee mail" and all those stupid ones but the church across the street from us is pretty inventive such as last weeks "when life is driving you crazy remember that moses was a basket case too" or maybe this weeks "no tricks here jesus is the treat" or maybe you could try this one on for size "7 days without God makes one weak" yeah i know i groaned too when i read that last one. but we get some zingers down here. now on to some politics. im glad to see everyones favorite rich celebrities are back in the media throwing more money into the ocean. you know the usuals, pitt, damon, jolie, bono, sarandon, penn. the list goes on. i guess since they couldnt eradicate hunger with the one campaign they are rolling aids into it as well so they can use their voice for huger and aids. im still not sure what the voice thing is going to do. i wish they would give their money to a real organization or maybe a missionary who could reach and do infinitley more with $10,000 than those t-bags can do with $10 million. but i know we all like to brag about how much money we give to charity, it makes us feel good. lets just broadcast it to the world. come on everyone in one voice........I GAVE (insert dollar amount here) TO THE ONE CAMPAIGN! who cares? not me. i think charitable giving should be personal, not something you brag about on NATIONAL TELEVISION. but then again if you didnt do that then you couldnt get the sympathy vote from all the loser fans you have out there that buy into every nickle and dime program you are hocking on a 30 second commercial. have we forgot that the media is MADE TO INFLUENCE YOU??? these people are ACTORS! hellooooooooooooooooo if i made $20 million per picture i sure as hell wouldnt be bragging about giving $100 thousand to some charity. thats a slap in the face. how bout you auction that new car off or auction one of your 6 mansions and donate the proceeds to a missionary who is living and working in the middle of the chaos. so for those of you that think that i am heartless, i gave $15 to teen challenge this morning....they washed my car.
