All Rocks Go To Heaven

Topic Categories: HumorPhotographyReligion
Posted on: June 14, 2009 8:59 AM, by "GrrlScientist"

This is a strange "debate" between Our Lady of Martyrs Catholic Church, and Cumberland Presbyterian, created using an online church sign generator. The images show, from top to bottom, the responses and counter-responses over time.

And the next morning, Our Lady of Martyrs Catholic Church responds;

The following morning, Cumberland Presbyterian Church responds;


And the Catholics reply to that;




Of course, we all know that heaven isn't any more real than Harry Potter, but whatevs. These people clearly are entertained.

Clearly the people of Beluah need to improve their sense of humour.

How could you ever come up with a response to that("all rocks go to heaven")? Our lady of martyrs FTW!

Yes, I know it's probably not real. A girl can dream...

What if the rock is a sinner, though?

"Do it yourself"

That's pretty funny, though the fact that it's clearly the same photo repeatedly is kinda a giveaway.

How stupid do you have to be to lose to the catholic church in a battle of wits.

The same cars parked in the same spot in the catholic sign pic kind of gives it away.

Still funny tho.

I agree that it's funny, but the photos are suspicious, and a quick search of the web turns up a few sites saying that it is fabricated. If it's too good to be true ...

Well maybe the divine being of their choice put those cars in the same place day after day so it traps those who want to believe whatever it is they believe...Hmmmm?

Well, it's good to see that the Catholic church thinks that Heaven is geologist-friendly!


(Yes, yes, I know, it's fake)

Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone
