[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]Atheist put up billboard = attacking religion! Religious group puts up billboard = expressing their beliefs. InEMplease

Wrong. This billboard IS attacking a religion. If there was a billboard that expressed an atheist's beliefs, it'd be something like "the concept of God is illogical" not "the Christian god is sadistic". Likewise, if a religious group puts up a billboard that says all people who don't believe in Jesus will go to hell it is also wrong.

Uh oh.

yikes.

I think that's a step beyond. The Atheist signs were basically saying 'your belief system is stupid'. Those Christian signs are basically saying 'your lack of belief makes you an enemy ... and a dangerous lunatic'.

I take issue with both, to some degree. The signs that say 'join American Atheists now!' seem really corny. Atheism is about accepting reality as it stands without any supernatural explanation. It's not something you need to sign up for membership to.

[QUOTE="sonicare"][QUOTE="lx_theo"] The problem seems to be more than religious organizations do not think they are attacking atheists when the roles reverse.-Sun_Tzu-

It's also more effective, "Logical Thought" would get alot less attention than "Sadistic God". If people need to be told to use logic and reason then they probably don't have enough logic and reason to heed the message.

If other religious faiths can tell people they are anti-american and going to hell for not being a christian, an atheist can put up a billboard too.

The tears of those clinging to religion's declining safety blanket....they are delicious

to be fair, mormonism is f'ing crazy, as bad as scientology crazy.

Did you maybe consider that atheists believe the christian god to be sadistic?

That's still attacking a religion by definition though.

Considering the Bible has god himself killing multitudes of people (entire cities, the entire world at one point lol) and has been the namesake for which millions have actually been killed (as in not make believe fairy tale land deaths, but real deaths) in history.

Not attacking, truth telling.

If a man is psychotic and just murdered some people, it isn't attacking him to call him a murdering psycho.

I agree with King Kong (I know right?), this ad IS attacking Christianity.

As it should be. I don't see what the problem is, or why people need to argue this. Atheists should be more active and vocal about the atrocities of religion. Especially Christianity in America.

Everybody is too PC and lacks the balls to actually admit that Mormonism is incredibly stupid and irrational, even by religion standards. Hell, even by cult standards.

Truly terrifying that people express their beliefs. What next? Racial equality? Tolerance for homosexual marriage?

This damn country.

I don't think those billboard are right or a great way to put out a good word for Atheists quite honestly. It just seems generally in poor taste. I mean w/o question religous groups have done horrible ads time and time again, but that doesn't make this anymore right.

Having said that, I'd like to see a counter argument to the 300k+ versions of the truth statement, and the promoting hate bit, I mean the old testament God is pretty brutal, and so many hardcore Christians take the Bible completely literally.
