...in the sign's wording is purposeful. And
intended to be a sexual double entendre. It makes him sound hip and trendy. Many preachers are now resorting to blatant titillating tactics as they see their memberships dwindle. So they've opted to utilize the "worldly" advertising approaches that they've been haranguing against all these years - after finally coming to the conclusion that if they can't beat them, then they might as well join them.
The fact is, that when you boil down religion to it's essence, it's pretty much always been about sex and trying to control those who can have it. Women in particular. It has been the legacy of the patriarchal versions of religion that have sought to put-down all things female (as far as importance is concerned) and to place them under male control. This has been particularly so since the former versions of the world's religions accorded women a more equal status among the divinities. These religious ripoffs of today have been so sufficiently successful that now (in many places) women don't even have any

A man would never allow laws to control his body in the manner that women are compelled to. So they've made the rules different for women -- not as a sign of the sanctity of life, but
as a sign of their control.
And yet from the very earliest beginnings, from the land of Mu, to the Mother of all -- Gaia; and onto the pantheons of the Sumerians, the Arcadian and the Egyptians there are the goddesses. And of course the Greeks and the Romans who copied those who came before them -- all included women prominently as part of central symbolism of religion's power and it's connection nature and the greater universe. Neith, Minerva, Athene, and Cybele, and from the days of the Anglo-Saxon before they called upon Yahweh and Jesus, they called upon the Earth,
’Hal wes thu folde fira modor’ (Hail, thou Earth, men’s mother).
That is -- all but the Abrahamics -- the deadliest and most evil form(s) of religion yet devised. And they have insinuated themselves into every aspect of our lives now. Judaism - who blamed the fall of all of humanity upon Eve. Christianity - who blamed Eve and who also made Mary into an empty vessel for the "holy sperm" of their deity who apparently lacked the power and ability to come among us, except through a woman. A woman whom they immediately (and continue) to debase and discriminate upon. And then there's Islam -- the one's who own their women. Those who buy and sell them as if in a bazaar, and then just as easily get rid of them if their faces are hairy, or they're missing a few teeth -- and with a few twirls... Poof! they're gone. Or even more disconcertingly, if they show even the slightest bit of independence, they are killed in order to save a man's so-called "honor."
All are sickening stains upon humanity's legacy and symbols of our IGNORANCE and FEAR. A torn, filthy and tattered Teddy Bear we refuse to let go of because we fear what will happen to us without the mumbo-jumbo and the rituals and the woo-woo -- and the fairy tale heaven that no one knows a damned thing about, and yet which they are still forever striving to attain entrance. To go to a place that has to be the most boring idea of heaven and bliss ever contemplated by man. Bowing down and praising and worshiping a completely psychopathic deity for all eternity. No, not me. You can have it!
- And the sign we see above is really a sign of desperation. An attempt to stave off the inevitable. The complete abandonment of religious delusion by the young people of the world.....
