Sacrilegious Parking

According to its website, Mount Pleasant Road Baptist Church promises to share with its parishioners, via John 10:10, “a delight that God is in the business of bringing order, beauty and joy to people who have suffered from the chaos of this world.” Joy, or at least a mischievous sense of humour, is evident on a sign hanging on the Belsize Drive side of the church, where officials could have placed a standard “no parking” sign.
We have not received official word from the gatekeepers to the afterlife on how many souls have been condemned to eternal wandering on the basis of poor parking decisions.

    Thou Shall Not Park Here signs are fairly common and a stock item that can be purchased from many sign vendors. However, I have never seen one that made threats or used an Old English style typeface.

    In Port Elgin there is a church parking sign that reads

    If you park here
    YOU PREACH!

    seems to be quite effective
