This Church Uses Hilarious And Accurate Biblical References To Enforce Social Distancing (8 Pics) Interview
With coronavirus cases on the rise recently, social distancing is coming back to our daily lives. And for the Redeemer Presbyterian Church In New Orleans, it’s no exception.
Except the church has decided to take on a very creative way to do so. A place that’s not necessarily known for smashing comedy has proved it can be done in a subtle, yet all the more hilarious way.
Father Nathan Monk, a former priest, shared photos from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New Orleans on Facebook, showing the signs with Bible-themed jokes aimed at enforcing safe distance in the pews. The post has since gone viral with 24K people loving the unorthodox approach to handling a serious matter, but with a humorous twist.

“Flaming sword can also be translated blue tape.” Epic. Blue tape solves all problems.
Bored Panda reached out to Nathan Monk, a former priest, human rights activist, and book author, who recently wrote the novel “The Miracle” which deals with our complicated relationship with our creator. Nathan also shared the viral Facebook post on the funny signs from Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
The former priest believes that “many of us grew up with the idea that we are to 'fear God' and that leaves a mark.” But there has been “a slow shift in the Church over the years of allowing good humor in and a softening of approach.”
It’s partly due to the fact that churches are shrinking and that poses new challenges. “Faith communities have to find new ways to engage, both in the digital age, and in a post-pandemic world,” he said.
That one guy named Elijah:
Nathan is convinced that humor is extremely important, especially in the time we live in now. “We have to laugh! There are those who think religion is supposed to be only serious and reverent.
“But God is both majestic and silly. The same God who daily paints the most beautiful sunset also created the fart,” Nathan added.
The former priest also said he understands very well why people have complicated relationships with religion. “I’ve had my own. I grew up in a faith healing church as a kid and then left that for the structured environment of the Eastern Orthodox Church.”
Nathan left the priesthood “in support of marriage equality.” It turns out, “humor and love is what got me through all the difficult days.”
I cringed headed to the comments waiting for some some unsolicited hate from an angry atheist who was raised by religious fundamentalist and don't realize that not all religions and people of faith are the same.
Oh, they'll be here. It's early yet...
Oh bless, Bone Daddy. Maybe you should actually use all that common sense you say you have and realise that people are "gasp" entitled to their own beliefs. I know. I know. It must be extremely difficult for your narrow little mind to comprehend. I personally find people filled with hate like you the true "crazy ones." Also, work on that grammar there- it morally offends me.
Oh, hi Bone Daddy! Actually, I'm agnostic. More importantly, I think it's best to allow others to have their own opinions, as long as they aren't hateful and/or grammatically incorrect when stating them. L8r, h8r! ✌️
@Bone Daddy, the burden of proof is on you if you're making the claim.
@Bone Daddy i also don't understand how people believe in religion but i at least respect them and their choice.
sorry, cant help myself, grammar Nazi is coming out.. @BoneDaddy, it's we're (we are) not were (we were there earlier)..but the most important thing is, regardless of religion/no religion, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE..
See, Bone Daddy showed up.
My comment got duplicated. Not sure why. Divine intervention, perhaps - hahahah!
These are hilarious... i can't stop laughing..
What if an Elijah comes? 😂
If he shows up right after Passover, he'll have one humoungus hangover.
Haha lol
Chances are there will be so few who actually want to sit there, they can still be 6 feet or more apart and the chuckles will continue.
Jim Price love
