A Horry County pastor is using some shock value to try to get people to attend Easter Sunday services.
The invite includes a picture of a dead bunny lying in the road with Easter eggs scattered around it. The invite has the text: “Bunnies stay dead, Jesus didn’t."
Some people who received the mailed invite didn’t appreciate it.
Joey Johnson told WMBF News that he was "appalled" to receive the mailer from The Rock, Conway's Community Church.
"It just makes you sit back and wonder," Johnson said. "Is that really necessary? Is that the way to do it, to get your church recognized?"
I wonder how much fun today's Sunday School service will be for the kids going to THIS church?
Bunny - Libel!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter - Bitchez!!!
Easter Egg - Libel!!!
DeleteReligion is based on gloom and doom. No one has to die for me to be a happy camper. People just try to put a spin on religion (all of them) rather than using peace and love universally for those of us already here. I'll take the egg hunt over church any day and so will my grandson and his son, my g-grandson who is 2 and who loved his first gathering of eggs and the easter bunny and the dogs, the cat and other critters, and the people who are good to him and send loving thoughts. : )
ReplyDeleteAfter all Jesus arose from the dead and became the Easter Bunny in commercial America!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean Jesus was a Zombie??
ReplyDeleteJulius Caesar was the first man to die and be born again as a man-god. He was the first ruler to be worshiped.
ReplyDeletePretty appalling. We had a local church mail out a giant card with a picture of a guy in an Easter Bunny costume wit the headline, "No creepy Easter Bunny Guy", yet not a single word about Jesus. O.o Then there's the church who plastered roadsigns saying "best bathrooms in town" at an intersection. Double O.o.
ReplyDeleteThe Wisconsin Synod church up the road sent out an ad that flat out looked scary. Oh, if you paid attention long enough, you saw that wasn't its intent, but who among the unchurched is going to look long enough to see it's not "Christians scaring people into church again"? (Of course, Wisconsin synod IS pretty scary, but that's beside the point.)
It's disappointing, to say the least.
Shouldn't that be Horror County? or Whoary County? Oh shit, who gives a fuck. I won't ever be vacationing there.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't vacation there but it IS the horrendous traffic jam town at a bottleneck where all roads converge for people heading for the beach. They have lots of fast food restaurants. We drive many extra miles on back roads to avoid this hell hole. There is a bypass now.
DeleteDid Herman Cain run over the bunny?
ReplyDeleteWell that's a hell of a strategy. The only people who go to churches like that are old fart curmudgeons. Good luck filling those collection plates when they all go extinct like those dinosaurs that Jesus rode.
ReplyDeleteJust another wonderful example of the type of people that live here in SC! ;)

Ah, nothing like a little blood and gore to go with the hell fire and brimestone all in the name of God. Warms the heart...not.
ReplyDeleteGod created bunnies too you idiot.
Roadkill happens,
ReplyDeleteIf I recall from my days in Catholic school, Jesus preached love, not fear.
ReplyDeleteDead bunnies posing as road kill do NOT inspire love in me. Can you imagine what a child would feel if they saw this postcard???
Only my opinion, I think Jesus would not like this either. This image does not treat bunnies or people with respect/love. Isn't respect one of the things the preacher is going to talk about today.
ReplyDeleteThe dork who came up with this abomination, has been watching "Mad Men" too long.
ReplyDelete(Or, as I like to call it: "Dysfunctional Personalities of the mid 1960's")
Great invite. A wasted bunny among broken bird eggs that could have been used to feed the hungry. It's closer to the profile of a killer than a believer.
