While European churches may be world-famous for their historical value and architecture, the ones in America are known for their notoriously clever and hilariously funny church signs.

Much like a store might write up a cheeky message on their sidewalk A-frame to entice people walking by to come inside, churches use humorous church welcome signs to try and draw potential faithful in to fill their pews - or, now and then, just to put a smile on someone's face who might need it. The trendier the creative church sayings, the more likely they are to appeal to young audiences.

Speaking of trends, one of the latest ones happens to be posting pictures of sinfully funny church signs. Though we don't necessarily agree with everything they say, we give them major points for creativity. Check out the best of the ridiculously funny church signs, and see which ones deserve the most 'praise.'

    I was at a women's christian conference a few months ago, and the theme of the first talk was 'Towers or Tables' and it was really inspiring. It follows the same concept about how if you confine yourself away from others, you can only build up, and that to make your tower bigger you have to build a whole new floor, but to make a table bigger you add a chair. I loved it.
