Why are some of them so funny?

They're funny, usually unintentionally, because the people who come up with them aren't exactly the sharpest crayons in the box. Stupid people who think they're clever - it's a comedy staple.

Any statement made from an extremely limited worldview is usually amusing. I always noticed them when driving, they range from basic banality to wtf?
I used to have to read a certain one every damned morning on the way to my shop, and it was usually good for a nice 5 minute wake-up rant, but one day they had one up that was actually pretty good. I didn't give them credit of course, since I assume that there's a book or whatever they get these trite little salvation mcnuggets out of...
"Offramp on the highway to hell"
Gotta admit, that's kinda clever.

Two that tickled my funny bone.
One: Worship God and Help Fight the Power of Satin in Texas.
Two: JESUS SERVES YOU!
(then right under that)
coffee and donuts at 9:00 and 11:00 am services

LMAO! Most churches in our area get their sign messages from an online company that sells quotes for the day/week/month. We call them the giggle news!

The local alt-weekly had an ad from one of those "seeker-friendly" churches that said, "Our services are short: so you can get the Hell out."
I had to think about that one for a moment before I got the joke.

I think a lot of the signs are funny to get your attention...maybe make you curious, and wander into the church.
Here are some of my faves...
"Lying in bed, screaming Oh God, does not constitute a religious experience."
"If you're going to be on your knees, you might as well be praying."(this is near a corner with lots of prostitutes!)
"Having trouble sleeping?...Come hear our sermons."

This church down the street had one a while ago that said 'The Bible says Russia will invade Israel'. Hilarious.

The best one yet was
" Under the same amanagment for over 2000 years"

I use a hand carried sign that reads,of course: JESUS IS THE ANSWER. Many drivers wave and honk. Sometimes they bring me water or coffee. Sometimes they thank me for reminding people about Jesus. One lady had a bad day and stoped to tell me she appreciated me being out there that day.

I saw one on a Baptist church that said "we put the fun in dysfunctional" SWEAR TO GOD I am not making that up.

My favorite read:
Laying in bed yelling "Oh God" does not count as speaking with The Lord
