Isn't this interesting. An atheist has been given permission to set up a "reason station" on government property:


Judges approves settlement to give atheist access to Warren City Hall | News - Home


Quote:

A federal judge has approved a settlement requiring the city of Warren to allow an atheist to set up a “reason station” inside City Hall.


So here is a clear case of an atheist distributing his propaganda on public government property. Now before you jump to the fact that a "prayer station" was allowed on the same property, let me inject by saying I have no problem with this ruling. This atheist station should be allowed in fairness according to the law.

But if atheists are going to demand that Christians can not have any display of faith on public property then they should lose the right to distribute their material. It's either all or nothing.

You call one prayer and one propaganda. None of it belongs on public property, especially government property.

If it's ok to have a religious group distributing their materials on government property, then why not atheists, Muslims, Mormons, Scientologists, Pagans, or any other group?

It would be better, IMO, if religious groups were not using government property to proselytize in the first place. Then there wouldn't be atheist groups demanding "equal time."

Do they have the right to do so? Sure? But for the life of me, I can't imagine why one's life is so small that they have to do this sort of nonsense.

Jeffbase is quickly becoming the most predictable poster on the forum.

I suspect you wouldn't have any problem with this atheist being allowed his reason station regardless.

I preach about that which I actually believe in. I do not get up in the pulpit on an average Sunday just to try to tear down others under the guise of "reason".
