3. Is it close to any of those "XXX" shops along I-70?
cause I think those pretty funny, especially since they are more prevalent in "red areas" of the state.

Is it new? I remember a huge cross but not a giant "Jesus" billboard the last time I drove that stretch back in late July (on my way to Nashville).

5. I've probably seen it
but I've blotted it from my memory. Is it close to those huge multi-pro-Tiger billboards because as a fifth generation Jayhawk I tend not to look at those. ;)

Do you see it from heading towards KC or towards Columbia? I've noticed that a lot of signs are only visible from one direction. Anyway, all four times I've traveled west on I-70 in the past year it has been after midnight and I was taking my turn sleeping.

15. No, but it always makes me wonder
"If Jesus is all-powerful, why does he need to advertize?"

12. What could possibly be wrong with a billboard that says Jesus?
Is there something Jesus did that offends you?

14. Little outrage with this billboard
imagine the outrage is this billboard said "ALLAH"
