Who writes the sayings on those "God" posters you see on highway billboards?

Question

Have you ever seen them? All black background with white letters, and I've seen the following quotations:

"Tell the kids I love them. -God"
"That love your neighbor thing? I meant that. -God"

Which religion's version of God is this, and who made these posters? I'm just very curious if anyone knows. It's just very weird to me, and I do believe in God. I just wasn't aware God made billboards.

Answer 1

The church that pays for them

The Idea

In 1998, an anonymous donor contacted an advertising agency with an idea for a local billboard campaign that would create a spiritual climate and get people to think about a daily relationship with a loving and relevant God. The agency came up with the idea of creating a series of quotes from God to be placed on billboards.

The billboards would be simple and easy to read—black boards with white type, and all “signed” by God. No logo. No address or phone number. Not religious or condemning. Just straightforward messages that would rightly represent God.

Eighteen sayings were selected to run on billboards in south Florida, ranging from serious to moving to funny; all intended to make the reader smile and think about God—perhaps in a new way. The campaign was scheduled to run for three months.


From Nine Billboards to 10,000

As the original billboards were coming down, following their planned three-month run, the agency got a call from Eller Media, one of the largest billboard companies in the world. Eller wanted to run the campaign nationwide if the client would donate the sayings.

Then, the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA), the trade group made up of all the companies who own and rent billboards, offered to use the sayings as their national public service campaign for 1999. The result was that GodSpeaks sayings appeared on some 10,000 billboards in 200 cities across America—and all free-of-charge! The donated billboard space was valued at $15 million

Naturally, the campaign attracted media attention everywhere. Print and broadcast media were intrigued with the sayings, and perhaps more intrigued that someone would invest in an advertising campaign without wanting anything in return. “Just who was this anonymous client?” they wanted to know. The client chose to remain anonymous and keep the attention focused on God.

The OAAA called the campaign “a gift to the community,” saying, “It is a positive way to get people thinking about spirituality and increase the numbers of those who are going to church. It makes you believe in divine intervention.”

I guess you know the answer. "God" doesn't make the billboards, man does. Just like "God" doesn't write the books, man does.

Answer 4

Putting God's concepts in simple and catchy terms people could understand.
