Yes, overcoming the horrible burden of faith is very hard.
Whilst I agree Faith is a burden the world could do without, this is not a Fail. Twats who find this funny have as much sence of humor as Family Guy, which is nil.
As a Christian myself, I do find it as kind of a fail. I understand what it means, but the wording could definitely be better.
I agree and Family guy is pretty funny most of the time actually.
Then again, I don’t take most of life very seriously and certianly not cartoons.
The real fail is religion.
AllGreatAllTheTime…. Ive seen many of your comments… I think this is the first one ive ever seen that you do not say the word “great”…This is not so great for you as you have finally had your own personal “FAIL”…. And to the operators of this fail of a website… New material that are “Fails” and “Wins”, are whats going to keep your audiences attention captivated.. Not the reposting of old stuff… And for Pete’s sake(sorry pete, whoever you are) please caption properly… ive seen several fails that should have been wins and vice versa… Yours Truly,

I have made many comments without the word “great” in it. Sure it’s a fail, but it’s not the first time. And it won’t be the last. BTW, this is a different AllGreatAllTheTime. There appear to be several of us.
I was not aware…. My apologies.. ^.^
It’s all good. Have a great evening!
No, there is only one true AllGreat and he is not anti religion. He is however progreat
Just saying.
LOL! Gert the Great is a “great” pro!
I have to disagree with you on both of your points. Faith is what you make of it and it’s only a burden if you make it so. Also, Family Guy is generally quite hilarious.
No one has any sence of humor. “Sence” is not a word.
I think there are some faiths where it’s impossible not to make it a burden if you interpret the book to mean what it actually says.
Reality isn’t “what you make of it.” Faith wasn’t that way for me to be sure.
My lack of faith isn’t that way for me either.
OMG! I’m not alone when not comes to Family Guy being lame.
lol you people are missing the point. It’s meant to be called the Overcoming Faith Christian center, but also can be read as the “Overcoming Christian Faith center” which has an entirely different implication.
HOW IS THAT A FAIL!? It’s just the name of a Christian Centre. Who is uploading this utter crap? Fails should be funny atleast if nothing else. Who ever laughs at this is a complete twerp. How is this a Fail?
I get that you have an opinion about this, and you have every right to that opinion. But seriously, this IS kinda funny, and your constant griping about how such and such is not a fail is getting really old.
I will take your opinion that you are bored of my griping and decide that I have done all I can to stop s**t posts. But it is clearly not working so I will stop. Sorry if I caused offence
Only offense caused was in spelling. No fences were pertained to or crossed.
you don’t have an opinion, you’re a mouse.
*THWACKS TMSCC with the semi-rotted, non-shellacked whale*
Don’t put down Mouse!!
I think you fail to get through to him Avis.
Some people just like to whine is all.
I just don’t understand why people think griping about it HERE will do any good. Tell the admins, not us.
What, and actually accomplish something? Have you forgotten how the interwebz works Avis?
Clearly, I have forgotten.
*points and laughs*
Has the snow hit you yet? *innocent smile*
Your snow skipped us in mitten land. NEENER!!!
I believe in this case, “Overcoming” is being used as an adjective and not a verb – in which case, this is not a fail.
I don’t understand how they would expect people not to think of it as a verb first. That is a complete fail.
Because not everyone thinks of the word cumming when they see coming…..
no, you misunderstand, we’re seeing it as overcoming to mean getting over faith, as the wording suggests, and not as in overwhelmed by faith. “overcoming” does not mean “to be overcome BY sth”. i can only hope this is engrish or a shop.
True. But since it can be taken both ways, they should have found some synonym to make it more clear. Maybe “Triumphant Faith” or something like that.
Must be where the meetings for “Adult Children of Dogmatic Lutherans” are held.
As a Christian, this is hilarious.
Well, if you need that many explanations on whether it is a fail or not maybe it´s not even worth wondering.
I live near this church and I often tell my husband I find it mildly humorous. He, however, does not.
Because if you overcome (verb) faith, why would you need a church? I think it’s hilarious.

Nice.Reminds me at South Park.

Nice one.
I live like 10 minutes away from this. It’s name is an unfortunate funny.
Wouldn’t it be a fail on our perverted minds rather than the church? I mean, I’m sure the church was named like that on purpose with “Overcoming” intended to be an adjective…
Faith may be blind but those professing it should not be.
Looks like an oxymoron win to me.
Ok. I used to live about 5 minutes from this church and watched as it was built. I grew up in the church and am still a faithful Christian and I was able to find humor in this. As soon as people found out what the name of this church was going to be…the entire community (majority religious)…thought it was a little off. I drive by it every time I go to my parents’ house. I still laugh every single time!!!
I’d rather be Coming Over Faith….
This is a WIN.
oh my GOD !
Yes my child?
I don’t get it, how is this a FAIL?
Overcoming Faith would be a totally awesome place.
Medical science over faith FTW!
Let’s overcome faith together!
We shall overcome!

The real fail is that it’s photoshopped.
http://www.overcomingfaith.com/index2.html
The real fail is that several people who live in the area have verified ON THIS THREAD that it’s a real place admitted it’s down the street from them and you STILL think it’s photoshopped.
Which makes you pretty much an idiot in my opinion.
WIN: Making more religious nutjobs freak out over nothing. Hilarious.
Yeah, I pass this church on my way to to work every day.
My husband and I both think it’s ridiculous and hilarious!
I pass this fairly often.
It’s on Hwy 287 just south of Ft Worth.
My father and I always get a laugh at the poor word choice.
Why is this a fail? Actually, I think it’s a win… But then again, I’m European.
Not a fail, not even a little bit, not even at all.
“And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.” Hence, faith that overcomes is “overcoming faith.” And most (not all, but most) “Christian Center” churches are Charismatic in doctrine and style, and in many cases are what you might call “Word of Faith” or “Prosperity Gospel” churches.
That would be OK IF it were worded better. As it is read as an adjective and not as a verb due to MOST American’s basic language and grammar skills, it just looks silly.
So yes, a fail. Just because it’s religious doesn’t make it exempt from being mocked.
If that were the case people would stop blaming the entire Catholic church for a couple of pedophiles when you hear about more of them in schools which specialize in caring for kids daily as opposed to the limited contact the average priest has with children.
The name of your church shouldn’t make most people giggle.
No, this makes the American populace at large failures, for not understanding grammar and proper word usage.
The word is used correctly here, in the same way you might use the verb “leading” as an adjective to describe something, as in “Our soap works better than the leading brand.”
Or, as another example, take the verb “striking.” It can also be an adjective, as in the “striking edge” of a cymbal.
It has nothing to do with being religious at all. It has everything to do with knowing how to use language properly.
I think you are trying too hard. There is also a bit of a difference between ‘Lets go help my uncle Jack off a horse’ and lets go help my uncle Jack, off a horse’.
Now I don’t know about you but the comma isn’t REALLY necessary except that whole meaning of the sentence changes without it thing.
Americans understand their language just fine. We, after all, have modified it to our specific tastes.
I get it that it did not amuse you. It’s still a fail. Sorry.
Hey thats where St. Paul is at! we played em in football
Shouldn’t it be ‘Overcoming Reality’?
¡Dos interredes para Usted, señor!
i pass this “church” every time I drive home. i laugh at the name all time time. I would never want to go to a church that has that name
oommmygoood
thats in mansfield, tx off 287. I used to drive by that place every day on the way to work. I ALWAYS thought that was such a wierd name

I’ve heard from friends in the community that the church has been asking people about new names to get feedback. Apparently they’re planning on changing it. One friend was asked what he thought about “Champion Church.” The word is while they meant overcoming to describe a type of faith, they do understand some people think it means that they believe in overcoming faith not a faith that overcomes. So apparently they are thinking about a change.
