God is inherently paradoxical through His infinite nature. God is now here and nowhere at the same time. What is God?

G odis now he re
JamesSchmoe
how do illiterates read it?
SpringToMyWinter
That’s kind of the point of the sign.
Alistairetheblu
If it was anywhere but on a church sign, maybe. Very doubtful as is.
Arcanum3000
If "God is now here", where has he been? Why wasn't he there previously? Isn't him being everywhere, all the time, his shtick?

What did the First Baptist Church in Newton do to make God coming back even a thing?

Everyone will read it two ways, because THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT OF IT.

Godis (candy in swedish) now here!
megenoito
As a Christian folk I still read it as "God is nowhere."

Doesn't matter how it reads, wherever he is he isn't doing shit.

Well played, evangelicals. From nowhere to now here.

That’s how I read it too, and I’m religious haha. I was like “wait how is it supposed to be read?”
KittyLeader
I think they may have meant it as "God is now here" and it took me wayy too long to figure that out.

I'm 99% sure that when I was a Christian, I would have read it as "God is nowhere."

Dammit Jesus, this is why you check your kerning and tracking.

A real designer! You know the difference between kerning and tracking!♥️
gruffgamer
Indeed! Similar, but an important difference!

I'm also glad someone else got the joke. :)

Agnostics see the sign and aknowledge the fact that they don't know how it was intended to be read.

No it was Kenny, I think he got taken from his parents by CPS or something.

Solomon77
I'm agnostic and I'm pretty sure it's "God is now here" given that it's a baptist church sign
AodhanVeIshtar
I read it as god is "nowhere" like, "omnipresent" and/or non-existent... Had NOT thought of "now here"
Solomon77
Aren't omnipresence and non-existence essentially opposites?
AodhanVeIshtar
Yea.. So I guess no "and" just "or". Bad habit of mine to put both. Point is I got both meanings from the same one sentence, rather than two

Oh duh. I like “nowhere” better. Cheers

Is it bad I'm Christian and read that as God is nowhere....
MoooCow
You are now atheist.
greasyfarthead1
Same
Quirkzoo
Nope, it communicates that God is both transcendent and immanent. Theologian Karl Rahner had a lot to say about it.
MummyNapkin
not bad, but youre still an idiot
smugcowfish
Good thing your internet opinion means nothing
QuartzPigeon
And you're still needlessly insulting
ThomsonI
Fun fact: personal attacks (especially "attacks on people based on their [...] religion") *can* be reported, not just downvoted.
QuartzPigeon
Done and done, thanks for handing me the gun.
ifIScreamIntoTheVoid
As a Christian, still read this as God is no where. This is just bad design.
crzyicehkybabe21
Same here
ShadowTeller
NOW here? ok supposedly omnipresent but NOW he's here? Bad design for many reasons :P
PureTechnicality
Or, perhaps you're a closet atheist and this was the test.
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
I mean I'm pretty sure if you tried hard enough "god is nowhere" could be used biblically
FifetyBillionQuestions
They did it on purpose. http://www.fbcnewton.org/blog/godisnowhere
Abracanawbra
Or an art instillation.
ThomsonI
TBF, there's not an absence of Christian theologians who would have said "God is no where" can be an accurate depending on interpretation.
ThomsonI
Negative theology operates with the assumption that our limited vocab is better at describing what God is /not/. Paul Tillich argued that /1
ThomsonI
that if God created the concept of existence, then God is outside of that concept (and is more the ground of being rather than a being).
VioletMoonRising
For real. And doesn't "God is now here" Imply alot of things? Like rapture or whatever?
Kage197
Thanks man
Vulspyr
THAT'S WHAT THE SECOND VERSION WAS?!
HitlersClonedButthole
It took me finding this comment to get it.
pokebug666
Only thing it implies in my mind, is that there was a time when God was not there. But isn't God supposed to be omnipresent?
Imtheonecuttingonions
Depends in which christian faith technically. Even the catholics didn’t believe that until about 4 or 500 A.D
XxxAziexxX
Could also be that the church was previously "godless" in the sense that the leadership there were corrupt and now they're not.
ifIScreamIntoTheVoid
I think it depends on how much of what a person believes is based on illiterate priests from the dark ages.
VioletMoonRising
I'm all for bashing modern ignorance, but in a twist of irony priests/monks from the dark ages are responsible for the fall of creationism.
ifIScreamIntoTheVoid
Is there a place I could read more on this, cause that sounds interesting.
VioletMoonRising
Hmm, it's not really talk about specfically, but vikings loved burning shit. Christian Monks protected that shit, often books.
