God Watches Mad Men

One might be tempted to ask: Can God make a signboard so big that even He can't illuminate it? Spotted in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, otherwise known as the Center of the Universe.

I am the photographer, and I approve this use of my image.

Glenn also hosts The New Disruptors, a podcast about connecting creators and makers to their audiences, and writes as “G.F.” at the Economist's Babbage blog.

That’s funny, I could have sworn the Centre of the Universe was a couple hundred miles northwest of Seattle.

  Forks?

I think the bottom of the sign is cut off in this photo. Don’t church signs usually have some sort of disclaimer at the bottom, like:

“God Loves You”*

* except, gays, lesbians, atheists, denominations other than mine, religions other than mine, tax collectors

  I would suggest that your experience with churches may be somewhat limited in diversity. Those of the breed you describe tend to be a rarity, at least here in Canada.

I’m Godel, and I approve that paradox.

I also really liked Freemont. The troll under the bridge with the volkswagen, Fun Hole, etc. Lots of 300Ds.

Everyone knows the real Center of the Universe (COTU) is Bloomington, Indiana.
