Seems to me that this church wasn’t taking humanistic thought nor contemporary Christian minds into account when they wrote this. Everything in the world today is about one thing, love. If your not loved, you’re sad. Which in turn apparently makes you Emo (more contemporary thinking) . The problem with the statement “God wants hell empty” is easy. Any person who has taken a logic class or have any remote intelligence would ask the question “Well if God wants hell empty, why would he create it?” I would assume anyone driving by the sign and pondering this question would be totally and utterly what I like to call “un-faithed” because they would be getting a sense of “no-understanding” kind of like when we think of the tree in the garden, why would God create it if he knew eve would tempt Adam with it and why would God even ask if he knew Adam would blame Eve? This is just not a “grab-the-non-believers-and-show-them-the-way” kind of sign. I guess the best example of this would be the gift of tongues. In “older” times Jesus’ disciples would be filled with the holy spirit and speak in tongues, in turn people would come to follow Jesus. Now when a person goes to church and someone speaks in tongues usually people kind of get “turned off” and “freak out”. The problem is that the sign isn’t taking into account other world views and other people situations, its only looking to give believers a good laugh. How is this growing the church?

“God wants you in heaven”
