I was watching 30 Days, a great show where two vastly different worlds collide when one person decides to live the life of someone else for thirty days. In the first season, one of the more intriguing ones had a Christian (from Texas, if I remember correctly) live with a family of Muslims. Quite timely, and still so.
The episode to which I refer in my title had an atheist live with a Christian family (also from Texas). The show doesn’t always do religious themes, but they’re usually the most controversial.
One quick take made me laugh out loud. The camera pans across the outdoor sign for the church that the Christian family attends. It had the Pastor’s name at the top, and then “It’s all about God” at the bottom.
I laughed because…shouldn’t that be reversed?
And if you feel the need to make your own church sign, the wonders of the internet allow you to do so here. Just be nice.

Judging by this, I’d have to say that Google has a pretty good opinion of me, and just remember about the vampire hunter thing in case you ever get on my bad side.
