Hawkins, Texas welcomes you to its town in the name of Jesus.

KSLA 12 reported that the Wisconsin based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) became vocal in early June and urged city officials to remove the sign. FFRF’s lawyers argued that the sign rested on city property and thus violated federal laws barring governments from favoring any one religion.

“We ask that the city immediately remove the ‘Jesus Welcomes You to Hawkins’ sign and refrain from displaying any messages that endorse religion or nonreligion in the future,” the organization wrote, according to the Christian Post.

However, real estate attorney Richard Roberts claims that the sign sits on private property, although the city might still be liable for approving it, notes KSLA 12.

Many Texans are vehemently in favor of the religious sign.

    Jesus Garcia is running for mayor of Chicago. Maybe this town’s mayor is also named Jesus. One shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

      maybe right beside it, there can be a sign just as big saying “Alah Welcomes you to Hawkins.”

    • Bunya August 28th, 2015 at 16:56

      That mean if Garcia is elected mayor, he can put up a sign that says, “Jesus welcomes you to Chicago” and he wouldn’t be lying!

      • Robert M. Snyder August 28th, 2015 at 18:09

        Yes, and if the president of the Chamber of Commerce happens to have the most common first name in the world, the sign could say “Jesus and Mohammed welcome you to Chicago”.

      The mayoral election was over in April in Chicago. Or is this a different Chicago than the one in Illinois?

      • Robert M. Snyder August 28th, 2015 at 19:25

        Rahm Emanuel won because not enough people had faith in Jesus!

        • Robert Kennedy August 28th, 2015 at 22:21

          Emmanuel won because he had 30 times as much money as Garcia.

      Maybe this town’s mayor is also named Jesus.

      “Jesus” is an awfully strange way to spell “William Rogers.”

        Well, it is Texas. Who ever said they were smart enough to spell.

  4. Maxx44 August 28th, 2015 at 11:56

    So this is where he’s been hiding all these years. Who knew?

    • thinkingwomanmillstone August 28th, 2015 at 13:37

      No wonder so much stupidity and violence is done in His name…He’s from Texass..

  5. rg9rts August 28th, 2015 at 12:24

    Texas …need I say any more?

    • The Original Just Me August 29th, 2015 at 06:43

      I thought Pres. Obama was having some kind of military take over in that state .
      Oh Yea , that came from FAUX News didn’t it ?

      • rg9rts August 29th, 2015 at 06:50

        They are waiting…AR 15’s loaded and Bass Boats on the ready

    Personally, my issue wouldn’t be the endorsement of a particular religion, or even the belief in Jesus… it’s the part where they actually feel they have the right to speak for their deity. Surely Christians should consider the sign blasphemous?

    • The Original Just Me August 29th, 2015 at 06:41

      Blasphemous has more than four letters in it. They would never understand the word.

  7. Bunya August 28th, 2015 at 14:16

    Jesus is the mayor of Hawkins, TX? Who knew? I would think they’d at least make him governor.

  8. Jeffrey Samuels August 28th, 2015 at 14:21

    I am looking forward to the Satanists asking to put up their own sign.

  9. fahvel August 28th, 2015 at 16:09

    It could be any one of a thousand Jesus’. Hell, it’s texass and there are lots of guys named Jesus there and, ah hell, who am I kidding? These sickxians need a really hot enema.

    • The Original Just Me August 29th, 2015 at 06:38

      With a LOT of HOT Chili peppers in it.

    • sharonsj September 1st, 2015 at 15:45

      Yeah, they forgot the accent mark.

  10. Robert Kennedy August 28th, 2015 at 19:05

    Many Texans are also abysmally stupid too.

  11. robert August 29th, 2015 at 03:38

    what a coincidence

  12. The Original Just Me August 29th, 2015 at 06:37

    Did anybody ask Jesus about this ?

  13. Pearl Polanski September 2nd, 2015 at 18:24

    Do they mean Jesus Ramirez?
