Or maybe he is just tired of atheists constantly mocking and bashing Christians.
Be honest, how often does that happen outside of this forum. I've rarely seen it happen. The few times it does is when someone (on either side) is making a spectacle of themselves in a public space. I've yet to see someone walk up to a Christian in a Walmart and mock them for wearing a cross necklace.

It's part of the "We poor Christians are so mistreated and persecuted--just like Jesus said we would be!" paradigm espoused by so many.
The fact is, 80% or better of all Americans self-identify as Christians. Even more so in earlier times. You cannot drive 6 blocks in any town across this nation without seeing at least one church, a mega-church, or a church billboard. We have had "faith-based initiatives" as well as "sin taxes" and "blue laws" that are nearly all the result of Christian belief. Christians have their own chains of businesses, clothing lines, publishing companies, television stations, radio stations, record labels, and so on and so on. And that is all well and good, and how it should be. This is a free country. People should be free to worship how they want and if Christians and some churches want to worship mammon and get into Capitalism and reap profits, more power to them. Whatever.
But don't then turn around and act as if Christians are some heaped-upon, marginalized group that is treated shamefully or have to hide their faith or can't proclaim their beliefs without being mocked, etc.
That's the biggest pile of steaming, stinking nonsense imaginable. It's a pure lie. It doesn't jibe with reality at all, in any way. It's delusional.
Yes, I do believe there are "militant atheists" and people who truly do hate the idea of this or that religion, etc., but just as not all Muslims are terrorists and not all Christians are members of the KKK, most atheists are not like that.
Atheists simply disbelieve in gods. Disbelief doesn't equal hatred.
I have a feeling this church was trying to be cool and funny in order to appeal to rather than (as usual) turn off atheists.
Proof that the very religious realize how much cooler and funnier atheists are. (I kid, I kid...)
But it's kind of like somebody's dad coming into the living room where the teenagers are hanging out and going, "What it is, all my sick homies? What's the 411? Put 'er there, Jack" and extending one hand backward.

Ha! That cracks me up because I do this sometimes purposefully (and ironically) to embarrass the heck outta my teenage daughters when they have friends over. Just trying to "play" that "pathetic father figure trying so hard, and failing spectacularly, at being hip."
Oh, they hate it when I do that. And their friends have no idea how to take me after that. Am I actually funny? am I just a sad joke? Do I really think I'm being cool and with it?
"I was offended by it," she said. "People who have dyslexia, they have a disability. It's very insensitive to put something like this in the public eye."
It's a lame attempt at an old joke. I've heard that one before by stand-up comics and on facebook memes.
Many churches routinely try to post funny stuff on their signs. I never really have seen the point. It's not my thing.

Your so cool beans with me, sound like a wonderful father, Dang the bad luck though, I only have one daughter, so mad that I don't have 7 daughters at least. Heard some guy say in a movie that he would murder the whole world behind his daughter lol, kinda the way I feel about it. If I had to a choice, sorry guys, all ya''ll gonna die.
I tried to rep Dew drop for you but it said he wasn't a real person.
Ha--I want to rep you too, but can't for awhile. Besides, your last few posts said nice things about me and I didn't want to seem like I was capitalizing on that. But, back at'cha!
