Actually, I think that's the point. The fundamentalism in which I was raised, anyway, was pretty clear on the idea that everyone was destined for hell, and only by the whole "repent and turn to Jesus" thing could a person avoid that fate. *shrug*
Ah, but if they were trying to make that point, even obliquely, I'd think they wouldn't single out homosexuals, masturbators, etc etc. The only one that really seemed odd (from the point of view we're talking about) is "sports fans," you'd think if they were really trying to get at the "everyone" angle, they'd include maybe "housewives," "soap opera fans," "bookworms," stuff like that.
I don't know who's holding that sign, but i would punch him in hte face on general principal.
That's my new year's resolution. i've decided that I'm sick of being the bigger man and putting up with last century's garbage and I'm not even goign to try to reason with these jackoffs any more. I'll just crack them good in hte face. They'll learn eventually, just like a pavlov dog.
Similar pathetic jerks appear in Las Vegas public areas occasionally, with strident signs proclaiming that the tourists are all going to hell in a handbasket. Sometimes it's fun to taunt them...
I'll call it ten, since I was a pagan AND a witch and am now an aetheist (but have repented for none of the three!) allowing me a theological triple-whammy in which I take a certain pride.
Only ten, but I'm proud of every one of them. Sadly, I meet people everyday who are as ignorant, if not as blatant as this sign wielder... I was told just last night by a regular at a bar I go to that while there's no debate that the world is billions of years old or that dinosaurs existed, in no way did man evolve from apes. In fact, GOD mystically formed us out of ether & gave man dominion over all other animals, so we can do as we please... sigh...
I feel bad. I only make it to six, and that's counting "Wow, Aunt, what a lovely sweater... with orange pompoms on lime green..." as "liar", getting buzzy four times a year as "drunkard", and watching the Olympics as "sports fan."

Good grief.
