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

So? Religion deserves to be attacked, its holding us back.

lol MrGeezer

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"] But...but...they did it first! It's tacky when religious groups do it, and it's tacky when atheists do it as well. MrGeezer

Tacky or not it's fair play.

No sh*t?

I don't know, but its obviously a plot for attentionSPYDER0416

Yes. Billboards, by design, are meant to draw attention to whatever it is posted on them. Nobody pays money for space on a billboard with the intention of it being overlooked.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]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.SaintLeonidas

[QUOTE="tenaka2"]

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"] "Attacking religion" and "expressing beliefs" aren't mutually exclusive. That said, the atheit billboards certainly ARE attacking religion, so I don't really understand your sarcasm.MrGeezer

So? Religion deserves to be attacked, its holding us back.

Politicians tend to use religious ideals when making laws. that is definitely holding it back.

Also, no one said the article has anything to do with this 'showing how the issue goes both ways'. Where are you getting this stuff from? I said the reactions here, my reactions, have pointed out the hypocrisy of it all. And it is perfectly fine to question the religions of anyone, just as religious groups question the religion or lack of religion of other people. People have every right to be outspoken about such things, and it is healthy to do so. I mean honestly, once again you are hinting at this idea that no one should be outspoken about there sorts of things, like when there are aspects of religion of beliefs people don't agree with they should just sit back and ignore it. Another moronic notion.

Again I have to say what the hell are you talking about? Honestly, you are just going in circles. The atheists have every right to put up that billboard. That is quite clear. The stupid thing IS in fact the reaction. Not only is it not as 'hostile' as you and the article make it out to be, but as I said it is hypocritical for them to even say anything. But of course they did, and I along with others have pointed out the stupidity of making such ridiculous claims as to the nature of the billboard, especially when they are guilty of the very same thing. And I never once said the reaction isn't fair, again just insinuating things there Mr. Geezer, I said the attention religion receives is much greater than that of atheists and so it explains why I and many others are more outspoken in these situations because the minority needs to be more vocal when the majority receives most of the spotlight. That again was pretty clear.

I can't think of many religious organizations (or organizations in general) in America that are more deserving of criticism than the Mormon church. It's a shame that Romney's role in the church (which is not minor) has been mostly overlooked. -Sun_Tzu-

As a Christian, I see no problem whatsoever with this. I disagree with the signs, but they can say what they want. Free market of ideas FTW.

The Christian god IS sadistic. A basic reading of the bible makes that very clear. Sadly, many Christians don't actually read their bibles at all.SteveTabernacle

Either that or he's trolling Islam again.

If this is the worst thing atheists are doing to represent their beliefs then some religious folk need a serious reality check. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of speech unless it offends me. Get the fvck over yourselves.

They need to get over themselves in the sense that a majority (Christian) must mean that others can't say what they want. Billboards is not persecution. Christians are not victims in America right now.

Looks like god is racist.

Scientology is a religion, like it or not. It's considered one in many countries around the world dude.

yep, I'm trolling Islam, that's why I said American Muslims are fine, lol...

I didn't bother reading the 10 pages of this but I think the people getting offended by this should back off. Anyone remember these?

It's just as offensive. Even though its not attacking anybody, it still telling you we're all going to die. LOL!

No, the blood of the sheep was for the Jews to mark their doors so that the angel of death would pas their houses over. The Egyptians got no such consideration. And the question stands: why not punish those directly responsible? In the punishment meeted out there you'd have toddler sons of poor peasants dying because of the actions of the ruling class.

heh, make fun of and discredit ancient aliens, bigfoot, nessie or any other religion and fox news has your back.

make fun of and discredit the supernatural fairy tale that they believe in and it is a big deal.

I find those drink Milk billboards offensive. What if you are lactose intolerant? Are we insinuating that those people don't matter? You bastards.
