I didn't know Jesus was running for office. What party? :)

I think they are tacky as well. Looks like little cemeteries all over. Blech.

Well then explain why contractors replacing windows in Fenny not only have lawn signs but a device to hand out flyers about their company

I don’t understand why they think it is so important to display their religious views. I guess they think it makes them a better “Christian” by sticking their religious stuff out in the yard.
Be whatever you want to be, but keep it to yourself.

I am going to use your complaint and insert a political persons belief instead.
What if I am not a Democratic and find all the Biden signs offensive? Not everyone who lives in the Villages are Democrats. (Just as you said not everyone are Christians) To quote you “I don’t understand why they have to display their views.” Does it make them a better “Democratic” by sticking their political stuff in their yards? Be whatever political party you want but to quote you again “Keep it to yourself.” See how that sounds when you say that a Jesus sign offends you?

Everybody seems to be offended by everybody now days. If your post is true then everybody should remove all their political signs because they might offend me or other people who don’t share their beliefs.
I don’t believe this but am using your logic as an example of how ridiculous your thinking is.

With all the rioting and unrest in this country today, I think we need more signs like this to make people stop and think of their actions, their words, and how they treat other people. God has been taken out of too many things in our lives and he needs to come back.

Just down the street a couple has spider webs and little rats all over their house and driveway. I just don't look and it doesn't bother me.

Really?
 
Mind your own business seems appropriate here. Free country. Why use negative energy for this

There's a house near my friend's up in Calumet Grove (just off of Fieldcrest) that has large Trump signs both out by the edge of the yard against a big tree and in the window facing the road. Guess no covenants up there!

Have not seen any of these signs in Lynnhaven.

"Jesus is the reason for the season" signs start showing up as we near the Christmas holidays though. And these are in the front yards. Backyards have more stuff in Lynnhaven.

Some people would associate those signs with cemeteries. A lot of people think of ALL of The Villages as one big LAST Stop on the long life-train to the Promised Land. Live it up to the max one last time! So in that respect, the Jesus 2020 signs ARE appropriate (at least for the Christian persuasion). Personally, I prefer the "WEAR YOUR MASKS" signs that would point people to the positive possibility of delaying that Promised Land for as long as possible. Maybe giving more time to really earn that ticket into a Promised Land. WE all could use a little more time, I promise.

Glad the Jesus 2020 signs don't bother most people. They then should welcome the signs going in that say "2021 is the year of Satan"

I wouldnt care. As long as my neighbors yard doesn't look like a garbage dump, who cares. To each his own.

They are but unless you report them there will be nothing done about them.
