Hmmm...I know online porn has normalized sexual imagery for a lot of people, but I never thought it would make its way to church billboards. Sex does sell, but should it sell religion?
See a photo of one of the billboards here, and let us know what you think in a comment below.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Sexually themed billboards have shocked some drivers traveling on Blanding Boulevard and in Clay County, but more surprising than the billboards themselves is what they're advertising -- a church.
"At first, I thought it was a porn site thing," said one passerby.
The pastor of New Life Fellowship, Bob Morro, said the billboards promote a series of sermons at the church concerning the role of sex in Christian life.
"We're giving people the way God created sex for us, and what his intentions for sex are. It seems like the world has lost its value of sex nowadays. STDs are up, divorce is up and we just want to show them God has designed sex. He wants us to have great sex, but he wants us to have it in his parameters," Morro said.
The pastor told WJXT that the billboard campaign has been working for the new church, which started just months ago next to a pizza parlor.

These billboards change quite often. I take a photo when I walk past the church and notice a new one.

Very common billboard here in the MidWestern USA Bible Belt! 2 Large Protestant Churches within 1/2 mile. True American Family Values!

Actually this billboard near the Times Square Church was deemed sexually graphic by the Church. See a photo of this Church at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ra41/
Interestingly, the original billboard is at this website also.

It Certainly turned out hostile for the Pastor of that Church "Amelia Baptist Church in VA." As just this week the church ran him off as pastor for committing the unpardonable sin here in Amelia County Va.........Believing in the Bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They will have a Wican Priestess in there before long. I say to hell with them.
