You mentioned three things wrong with the sign, but what about the fourth: That there is no “conversation” possible “w” God? You can talk to God as much as you want, but the moment he talks back to you is the moment you’re declared clinically insane.
That’s just not true, Reed. If you claim the voices in your head are God, you have a very good chance of not being labeled insane. If you claim the voices are anyone or anything else, though, then yeah, you’re toast.
I don’t want to pin anyone down here, or worse yet frame the conversation poorly, but anyone who can’t spare me the horror of a sign like that is a turkey.

What about the lack of punctuation, e.g. where’s the question mark?

I’ve run your scenario over in my head a number of times, and the bowling joke wins out every time.

Jeez, what’s wrong with “Strike up a conversation with God”? You could even choose the punctuation at the end.
