    Texas church posts "Mary & Her Rosary Annihilate Islam" sign

    Quote
    (Clicky for piccy!)
    A Midland, Texas church is taking some heat because of a controversial marquee sign that some say goes way too far.

    The sign outside of St. Michael's Chapel comes off pretty strong: "Mary and her Rosary, Annihilate Islam."

    "Islam is a false religion, it cannot offer eternal life," Michael Banschbach, with St. Michael the Archangel Chapel, Inc, said when asked about the sign. "We live in a day and age now where everything has to be politically correct, we wouldn't want to offend anybody, we wouldn't want to make them feel bad."

    Banschbach said the sign references the historical battle of Lepanto, that pitted European Christians against Islamic invaders in 1571, but added he's not calling for any violence.

    "If we can lead those adherence of the Islamic faith to the Catholic faith and to salvation, I think they would probably be appreciative of it at the moment of death," Banschbach said.

    Is that still enough reason to put those words up?

    "It makes me feel threatened," Father James Bridges, the Pastor at St. Stephen's Catholic Church, said. "No, definitely not, nor would the Mother of Jesus want us to annihilate anybody except Satan himself perhaps."

    Bridges said the sign is misleading.

    "No, that is not a Roman Catholic Church," Father Bridges said. "They are schismatic, they have cut themselves off."

    He said the mainstream Church does not support the sign or the chapel.

    "We know, that the people that I know that most people that live around us who are Muslim they are wonderful and very peaceful people," he added.

    It's a stupid sign and a stupid attitude. Translation:

    "My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend. Do what I say or else."

    Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West. bunny

    I am just glad it wasn't a Mosque which put up such a stupid sign. Just imagine the uproar that would have caused.

    Lol, double standards. Of course most Christians wouldn't do anything about it to be taken as a serious threat, just an annoyance, whereas muslims really will do (are doing) something.

    I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.
