First thought that came into my mind after taking this picture was how ironic this sign was (well, after i thought how bad the quality of it was and that i need a new phone asap!). We are in church right? Yet the sign is asking us not to shake hands as a sign of peace??
I understand it's flu season, and that the media has everybody shook with the Swine Flu outbreak (hoax! yes you heard it hear) but does the media & Swine flu even overpower GOD??
I mean, GOD is creator of bacteria, viruses and all illnesses and cures. So if you whole heartedly believe in him you shouldn't fear any of that, especially in his house (church) and while expressing a gesture of peace towards a fellow human that should not worry you. I don't say we should wipe each others snot and freely cough on each other and "let God handle it" but it seems like an oxymoron to me to avoid a handshake completely. If anything I would have been ok with signs asking you to be cautius this flu season & to be conciderate of the flu going around but banning hand shakes in church? Am I alone here?
