Jade, there is a *special* kind of hell for people who talk in the theater.

I don’t think you need to know her to get it is a joke. Sad it is gone though, it is so nice when organized religious types have a sense of humour.

Not really, more of just a “before you do that, maybe think about it a little.”

And considering Vicars can often be on call at hospitals and hospices for death bed duty, it is worth considering “do I absolutely have to park here?”.

I gotta say, I do love this sign. If you are going to deal with something as heavy as the Almighty every day you deserve to make light of it occasionally. Unless they really think it is tantamount to eternal damnation to park there in which case the sign is funny for a whole other reason.

To be fair, what is the point of being a Vicar if you cannot occasionally invoke the wrath of God?

Back when I was a church-goin’ type, I could have totally got behind a denomination that had snee’s #4 in it’s doctrine…

@ Atheist Scum Unite: maybe clip art is too overstated for the Brits? Any UKians who would care to educate us colonials on that subject?

Who is ‘Fed the Homeless’, and why is he classified according to his living status?

Going to visit the vicar would be its own hell.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

In fairness to the vicar:

(1) Knowing her, I’m very sure it was a joke.
(2) The sign has since been taken down.

But that doesn’t stop it from being awesome.

Back in the day, Catholics had a program where you could buy a Get Out of Hell Free card for cash…a sliding scale affair based on the severity of the sin and your ability to pay.

Kings & queens paid fortunes…
possibly the idea behind Steely Dan’s The Royal Scam.

If I don’t know or care what a vicar’s real job or magic powers are, can I just go ahead and park there?

It seems to me that Eternal Damnation

I once asked my priest for forgiveness during confession because I parked in his spot, but he told me that not even one thousand hail mary’s could redeem my soul.

“The Vicarage Drive” is so pretentious.
