I was like you. Now I know better.

🤫 shh (it doesn't just look like a cult...) 😉

The most innovative one was 3 crosses stuck inside the lani which faces the road but clearly visible from the road.

Whether you are for the crosses or not, you'd have to admit that the current quantity of crosses throughout the Villages would likely not exist had this couple been left alone to display their single cross.

Where do you get these crosses?

I put mine in my bedroom window. It faces a main road.

3. the person in the house is a White Christian Nationalist (modern terminology for evangelical bigot).
4. "someone who normally wouldn't put anything in that spot, but heard about how everyone hates Christians and put the cross there as a "neener neener" rather than any expression of their devotion to their god."

Insult other religions much?

I solved the pink flamingo dilemma by having them on my name & address sign!

It's OK. Real Christians, who understand and follow the teachings of Jesus, love peace, forgive and don't hold grudges. Those who don't are CINOs, Christians in name only, wannabes, pretenders.

Make your own. 1 paint stick, a bit of glue or a couple of staples, a coat of white paint (or color of your choice) and vyola, one little white cross that can mean anything your little heart desires.

Whew! For a moment I thought you were gonna say you invited them over for a barbecue. By the way, they taste like fishy chicken, only a little tougher. 😏😉🤫

And that is a problem? Seems it's only a problem to some folks.

How about we do Little Black Swastikas? Do you think there might be a groundswell about enforcing Deed Restrictions?

If it isn't problem for you, you maybe shouldn't have bought in a community with reasonable strict guidelines and standards?

So the white crosses represent Christian nationalism. That this country was founded on Christian principles and must remain so. The Christian nationalism movement

And Project 2025 is the result and playbook

Not inclusive and very Scary

Those crosses are also handed out at prolife rallies.
