Putting the Fun in Fundamentalism

We have a Baptist church right up the road from our parish that puts up messages on its board that are so anti-Catholic, anti-priesthood, that they make my face burn and my heart pound.  The city council has actually asked our priest on one occasion if he wanted them to try to put a stop to it, it was so bad.
But this sign (which I shamelessly stole from Fr. Z's blog), from a church in the Dallas area, puts the fun right back into fundamentalism.  I mean, who are they kidding?  Since 1975?  I was born in 1975.  Just what are they trying to say?  And while I'm asking rhetorical questions, which god was it in 1974?

Thank you, Jesus, for taking my misguided soul and putting it in the Church You started.

That's great. So clear to us how absurd it all is. This is funny. Thanks for posting!
