Here’s a great definition of the idiocy we face from SOME of our religious brethen.The FFRF posted this Billboard:
And the religious zealots, not willing to address the issue, let our opinion stand, or even use any neurons in their pseudo-brains at all, came back with this billboard.
It truly sickens me — not that some asses would hate us just for our beliefs, and not that they would put up a bigoted billboard. What sickens me is that there is so little outcry from the local people. They take it for granted that the FFRF billboard is “offensive” and the Christian slander is relevant.There IS some negative response, but not nearly enough. This is why we fight, and this is why we shout.My suggestion: Get some religious people to speak out about this. We need to tear this kind of bigotry down from within.
These bilboards were in my town in Pennsylvania a matter of weeks ago.
First, it was the Imagine No Religion,
Then, in less than 2 weeks, it was replaced, directly over top, with Atheists Hate American.
All that exists at this moment has a creator – all that existed at previous moments. For some bizarre reason Phreeky wants to attach a personality and a penis to that existed at each previous moment. Now that’s just weird.
that existed -> what existed

Come on Alex, I know you are smarter than that. No belief is necessary. Period. Belief is the booby hatch through which one enters phreeky’s bizzaro world.
I agree with karen about not responding to phreedom. Engaging him is futile and distracting. It doesn?t change anyone?s position and it usually breaks down to name-calling. Like we need that. Perhaps David Silverman can set up a separate blog for trolls and atheists who like to waste their time and leave this blog, off limits to trolls, for more constructive dialog.

You could do variations of the xian sign.
“Why to Xians love God and hate America?”
“Xians are loyal to Jesus, not America”
“God: 1; America: 0 — for Xians”
I am sure you can come up with many more better ones.

That is because out of all those groups, atheists are the only ones without any kind of blind faith (despite what Phreedm thinks). Jews, Muslims, and Hindus would never try to prove the xtian god does not exist, because in doing so, would prove their god doesn’t exists either.

On a differnt note…tell me this doesn’t sound like many who post on this blog…
The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital, and “rigidly secular” schools.
This doesn’t sound anything at all like the many non-secular individuals who post on this blog.
But it sounds exactly like the religiously insane idiots who troll this blog and pollute the discussion with their occult superstitions. Looked in a mirror lately, phreakshow? Replace ‘fascist’ and ‘secular’ with ‘christian’, and you could have said this. Maybe a slightly different agenda, but that’s it.
I feel bad about dignifying this with a response, but here goes:
Wrong. The truth is that a belief in “life” from “non-life” is fallacious. A belief in “eternal life” is also fallacious. Both arguments suffer from a leap to conclusions.
I’m sure you will continue to willfully misunderstand this, Phreedm (as history suggests). I’m only writing this so it’s here in writing since nobody spelled it out (Alex came close though).
What is it about admitting ignorance that you seem to detest so much?
As an aside, I think we have a new epitaph for Phreedm:
Add an ellipsis to the end of that and it perfectly sums him up.
Phreeky and his brethren all have the same problem. As they matured through childhood and adulthood they discovered that they were lacking compared to others – or at least that was their perception. To battle their cognitive dissonance they create a fantasy world in which knowledge and talent have little meaning. In the fantasy world an all-powerful gawd makes the differences between humans look insignificant. Then they surround themselves with like-minded others to reinforce the fantasy – that takes a lot of resources – by devaluing science and the accomplishments of humans.
Hey all remember LAMB OF GOD is a bands name also and they are not religious so do not confuse you ring tones with thiers !! Great drummer in the band though if your open enough to heavy music !!! I liked their first name better BURN THE PRIEST
Mark 3:22-25
22) And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Be-el’zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23) And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, ” How can Satan cast out Satan? 24) If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25) And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26) And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.! 27) But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house. 28) ” Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29) but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin–” 30) for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.” 31) And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32) And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.” 33) And he replied, ” Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34) And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, ” Here are my mother and my brothers! 35) Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
