Looks like God has a place to park his RV for the Winter

Welcome to Winfield, Alabama, halfway between Birmingham anf Tupelo.

Passed by the City Council...

Could this proclamation serve as a quit claim deed? Could just any god claim ownership? I'm feeling rather divine today.

Forrest Gump has the highest IQ from that state.

Do they think God will be mildly impressed by their brown-nosing unto Him?

 

[Jeff7]

Yes, Winfield, obey the voices in your heads.

We acknowledge that at all times, He is in control.

...so we're retiring today.

 

[Newell Steamer]

It's OK, because it's not Islam saying this.

 

[SlitheryDee]

It feels like bad grammar to begin a sentence with no other preceding statement with "whereas".

Looking at the definition of whereas, perhaps they mean to contrast themselves with all other townships on earth? That's a bit snooty.

 

[SunnyD]

Cool, I have a city now.

Shared this quote with my subbies. You, sir, just caused a roundtabLOL.

Have you read the bible? When god isn't murdering innocent children he pretty much demands brown-nosing. It's surprising he has not laid waste to every city without leaders like this.

I always found it strange that an omnipotent god would be so insecure as to require constant praise.

Anyway, Christians, Baptists especially, are mostly just annoying and preachy. At least they're not gunning people down for making cheeky drawings of Jesus.

 

[Ruptga]

An excellent choice of tags. Prophetic, even.

Also, I lold.

16 square miles and ~4500 people... yeah that's a shocker. They should have changed the name of their "city" to BF while they were making that insipid proclamation.

This has to be satire?

No such luck. Remember a few years ago when Oklahoma tried to ban Sharia Law? I'd forgive you if you don't, since nobody really cares about Oklahoma, but this country has a lot of small dark corners exactly like Winfield. I could even see my old hometown of 13,000 pulling some crap like this, and not just because the current mayor is also a preacher at a small evangelical church.
