Jesus! Jesus is everywhere!

I'm now in Tennessee. I flew into Atlanta last night and then drove up to my friend's, Tracy and Dave's, house in Engelwood, Tennessee. On the way up here I was struck by how much protestantism or the Christian Church is simply part of the ethos of the South. This isn't a new piece of knowledge for me, but living in San Francisco and California I tend to forget. All along the road, a small highway that goes from North Georgia into Tennessee, I saw all sorts of signs that reinforced this. First there were the church signs. Here are my favorite:
(1) Don't wait until you are flat on your back to look up to God
(2) Man's ways are viewed by God
and the absolute favorite
(3) Warning Exposure to the Son May Prevent Burning
(Nice, eh?)
Then there were the businesses that had subtle or maybe not so subtle religious messages. There was the Amen tractors and building trailers and Jabez Inc. I don't even know what they do at Jabez Inc. There was also the business that had out front a big stone cross that said on it "Get Right With God."

There was also in a field "John 3:16" and "Jesus" spelled out with large plumbing pipe.

Then there was a sign that I'm not quite sure what it's intent was and that was a giant billboard with a picture of this woman--clearly a Glamour Shot--and beside the picture it said "Jesus Healed My Wife dot Com" Huh?!? (Okay I just visited the website. For real Ya'll got to visit this website. You also get to the see the picture of Patsy, the wife in question.)

I'm really curious if any one ever is moved to join a church or "get right with God" based on any of these things? Personally, its enough to make me almost unjoin a church.
