Actually no, he was born in Hawaii. Amazingly they even have records and even old newspaper clippings that prove it.

LOL, nice. I see nothing wrong with it.

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"]And they call us bigots...The-Apostle

Well that's kind of dumb of them. I don't see what people get out of wasting their money on insulting billboards.

Some people just live if their own little world and run away when evidence challenges their world views.

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"] No, I think he was born in Kenya because that's where he was born. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin.

So if you're making this claim you have evidence from a good source right and aren't just basing this on race right?

I do find it interesting on how the only president who was questioned on whether he was born here or not is black.

They borrowed that tech from Obama's lizardman brethren.

I've been plenty of signs and billboards expressing the latter, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as the old saying goes.worlock77

That was an ignorant sign. I wouldn't be bothered if they took it down and I am not even religious.[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]Atheist put up billboard = attacking religion! Religious group puts up billboard = expressing their beliefs. TheWalkingGhost

:lol: Next time you call someone a moron, make sure you scrolled down to the bottom of the first page before making any assertions as to 'religious ones'. Oh, and this one is just expressing a belief, or are you too dumb to realize that? Many atheist do think God is a sadistic character, they have every right to think so, and every right to express that belief on a billboard. Not their fault that many Christian's are intolerant to their belief, to the point in which they feel like they are being "attacked". Quite pathetic really. They can go around saying people who don't believe in God will burn in hell, but the second an atheist question's their God's personalities it is an attack and should be removed!

So you believe that the Secretary of Health and the Governor (Republican, I might add) of the state of Hawaii are in on it too?

He said that the MAJORITY of religious ads don't attack anyone else. Whether or not that's the case, I don't know. I certainly haven't done any research on that. But the two billboards that you're referring to certainly aren't enough to indicate any kind of trend.MrGeezer

Not sure what you are going on about. What I original said in my first post stands true and nothing you have said refutes that. The fact is, whether it is 'hostile' or not this billboard is the expression of this groups beliefs. Yet because Christian's are intolerant of their beliefs it is labelled an 'attack' on what they personally believe in and gets media attention. Yet, religious organizations put up the very same sorts of billboards, both "negative" and non-hostile, and although it could be said it offends atheists or those of other religions, in the very same way as this one, they do not get this sort of attention and these religious groups defend themselves by saying it is the expression of their beliefs. It is incredibly hypocritical. To them any outspoken organization that expresses a belief that might try to disprove or question God is an attack, but when they do the very same thing it is perfectly fine. Which is what my original post clearly stated.

As for if it is an "attack" or not, you might see it as an attack, but I stand firmly behind the idea that it isn't, at least in the sense that this article makes it out to be. I can say "I think god is sadistic", that is my belief and I have every right to say it and it doesn't mean I'm attacking religion, just expressiing my observations/beliefs about god and it hardly makes me a or them "dicks". If someone hears this, doesn't agree and is so intolerant of my own belief that they think I'm attacking them then it is in fact THEIR problem and not mine. I can view god as sadistic and it doesn't make my wrong, cruel or a dick; but of course some people are do defensive they might think that of me. Doesn't make them right, and just because they take it as an attack doesn't mean it was. Just in the same way I can instead of saying it, put up a sign or billboard to say "Christianity has a sadistic god" (Again my own belief) "you should become an atheist instead". Being critical or outspoken, expressing ones beliefs even if they may be "harsh", does not mean you are directly attacking a group of people. This billboard is simply offering their own personal views on Christianity and god, and offering an alternative. If their assessments are too "harsh" well that is too bad for Christian groups, because if this is truly what this atheist organization believes then they have every right to speak out and express that view in hopes to get people to join them, and just be doing so doesn't automatically make them wrong or "bad" it definitely doesn't mean they are actively trying to attack Christianity which is what this article makes it out to seem.

Fox News is terrible at reporting stuff, we know by now, no need to make a point of it. As for the news itself, people can believe what they want and they have a right to express themselves publicly, and its not like the ad is full of swear words and violence and nudity and all those things you can't have on a billboard.

I have to say though, if Atheists want to come off as reasonable and try to get people to see the light, acting like gigantic dbags insulting the beliefs of other people in such a way, its not an organization people would want to be a part of. Its like when those Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door, except instead of knocking on my door with some polite attitude and pamphlets its a big billboard of dbagginess (though I guess they aren't knocking on my door at least).

Plus, seriously person who made this billboard? You are making a big deal on the beliefs of the potential presidents of the USA? Then when people refuse to put up your obvious troll ad, you call them bigots? This group is almost like the WBC of Atheists, and the irony somehow isn't lost on them when they say religion shouldn't play a role in Government, then they make a big deal out of the beliefs of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

Again, I think they have the right to express their opinion and put up their billboard, but if someone put up an attack ad on Atheism or an Atheist Presidential candidate, of course they would lose their minds. I don't care if someone attacks Atheism or Christianity or Mormonism, I don't think it reflects on me as a person when someone attacks my belief, its just so stupid and pointless and kind of shows that regardless of belief you can be annoying, though maybe this is like the one time they are just trolling for attention. I don't know, but its obviously a plot for attention and not a legitimate message a reasonable person would make if they had one.

Of course it's never the other way around...there are more theists than there are atheists. You know why the outrage is generally so one sided? Because atheists are a minority. Good job on establishing that there are more theists than atheists in the USA.MrGeezer
