To you.

And if you haven't noticed, no one today was involved in anything that went on a few centuries ago. You should probably try to get over it.

Jeez no one cares about your silly little imaginary friend, I just don't want your myths legislated in my nation. Oh yeah I want the churches to pay some damn taxes too.
You're trying to get the "myths" OUT of the legislation. Changey-hopey-hatey. Go ahead. I don't care.

You're missing the point.

Spread whatever message you feel the need to - without mocking.

Too bad the ratio of billboards seeking to spread Christian myths to atheist billboards in this country is something like 30,000 to 1.

Donate away. Tax deductible and everything.

I wonder if an Atheist had a near death experience or death of a loved one if that would shake them up a bit into believing in a higher power greater than oneself?

I see nothing at all offensive or mocking about that billboard...If you are a Christian who is not secure enough in your belief system to tolerate any remote challenge to it, because you do not have a right to be free from criticism, that's just too damn bad.

Now here are a couple of insulting billboards put up by Christians.







There are dozens of signs like these paid for I presume by church offerings.

That last one is tame compared to some of the ones I've seen about George W. Bush when he was president.

Good point. I'm sure that no atheist has ever lost a loved one

This billboard is awesome. I love it, I hope to one day see more.

Our reasons for promoting atheism is to discredit religion. Not because we care what stories people believe in, but because we are sick of the church's interference in our government, schools, and daily lives. Once the religious nuts butt out and stick to their own business and families, we'll butt out.

Hah!!!! Why on earth would a near death experience or the death of a loved one "shake us up"? Death is a part of life, I don't understand why people can't accept that fact.

As an atheist, I will have you know that the near death of myself or deaths of loved ones in no way brings me any closer to believing in a "god".
