		<description>I read the sign to mean "Growing up is hard and involves taking responsibility for your own ethics and actions, and means that you have to think about your place in the world. Being born again, however, is easy and doesn't require any of that kind of effort." 

I thought the sign was implying that when you choose to be born again you are excused from difficult adult-style critical thinking and adult responsibilities. George Bush being a prime example of this. I actually thought that this sign was produced by one of those make-your-own fake church sign web sites. Oh well. 

I think what the sign really means is "Even if you're still a child, come on in and get born again." The Amish forbid children from making this sort of decision -- they say that only an adult can have the intelligence and maturity to choose Jesus willingly. The church in the photo, I suspect, disagrees and is happy inculcating children who can barely read much less understand what the Bible means. I mean look at the name of the church: The Family Harvest Church. They are harvesting families. It's kind of creepy.</description>

		<description>Neat thread. Can I add something I heard from a woman who is half native american, half african american, and born to a baptist preacher? The morning she told her father she wanted to be a catholic (she was 16 at the time) he took a quiet sip from his coffee cup and said "All roads lead to God." That was it. 

Cara, you do Christians a world of good. Sean, you do the same for the folks who share your beliefs (creative clockmakers?). And they say you shouldn't talk religion at cocktail partys. Pshaw.</description>
