Lying for Jesus, vandalism for Jesus....so long as they believe it's for the greater good it doesn't matter to them.

I've read that they don't just do this with evolve fish though. Wiccan symbols are stolen and festive displays vandalized in the south.

But wasn't there some passage in the Bible that talked about Jesus going into the temple, grabbing all of the evolve fish t-shirts, bumper stickers and other Darwin paraphernalia as he kicked over the merchants tables? Or maybe not.

If that be the case, then they are flat out wrong, and need to be rebuked harshly, fined, put in jail. whatever. I would never dream of harming another person's property because they put some dumb sticker or emblem on their car.

No, but you think nothing of coming into the A&A forum and telling us that you love to mock us.

When I bought "Darwin Fish" & "Keep your religion out of my civil rights" t-shirts on ebay and started to wear them, I was surprised how many people sad me "hi, I love your t-shirt", or "Thank you, I'm so tired from religious freaks by myself!" etc.

Do not worry, there are a lot of Atheist and Agnostics, and even Christians, who will support your rights to believe in science!

Nothing wrong with a few jokes here and there. You guys love to throw stones at us, too.

Hmmm, I have a buddy who had the back of his car keyed because he had a Jesus Shark on the back of his car. Hate to see what would have happened if he had a Cthulu or Flying Spaghetti Monster fish on there.

I am amazed at the christians who have written here asserting that there is nothing to fear from them or their movements.
These are the same folks who hold tent revival type meetings in my home town where the collect money to send guns and ammunition to "settlers" battling muslim heathens in the middle east.
They refer to their many childrens as "arrows in god's quiver", and they eagerly send them off to our recent holy wars. They shoot doctor's who's medical practices they object to. And they insist that we do the same. They shun health care for their sick and dying children.
They blindly support any politician who mumbles a couple of religious phrases, ignoring his corruption and self-serving graft. They deny the pediphiles in their groups and move them from town to town if they are sloppy.
Who's afraid of the kindly christian.?? I am.. You're Darn right I am.

I'm not worried about those people. I'm concerned about the others who don't recognize others' rights to view the world differently.
