Signage

Close to our house is a church with a marquee. This marquee is expectedly filled with church service times as well as announcements. But above all of that there's a message that usually aims at being catchy and clever, trying to relate to everyone's life in someway, so as to catch the attention of the the hundreds of cars that whiz by each hour. This week's message is:
God's like Coca Cola, He's the "Real Thing."

How's that for use of simile?

hey, that's a pretty good simile because God, like Coke has a bunch of different spins... diet (Buddhist), vanilla (Muslims), lime (Catholics), vitamins (Mormons), etc.

woah, I get it. finally I get God!

how about a metaphor?
"God is CocaCola" or "God is a CocaCola"
metaphor (n): an implied comparison. see you in church.

Indeed! I have to admit that all I can do is laugh. You three are grand.

There is a church close to our house that has regular sayings as well. What is the history behind churches buying these signs and then creating these slogans? I'm serious? When did a church see one of those and think, "Hey, that makes sense to buy a sign. That will encourage people to come to church and come unto Christ." I don't get it.
