Atheist billboards in Atlanta
September 12, 2010 at 10:19 pm (This post was last modified: September 12, 2010 at 10:23 pm by everythingafter.)
Have you guys heard about this? Apparently the Freedom From Religion Foundation has bought like 50 billboards in the Atlanta area with anti-religion messages. The organization has done this elsewhere, but apparently this is its largest ad campaign in any state so far.

This should stir things up in Bible-ville. The local news station is doing a report on it tonight.
Just watched it. They talked to one local atheist, who is a member of the organization against two believers, one a preacher and one a regular church member. At least it was balanced. lol

It's funny how theists want to spread their lies and myths all over the world with tracts and television ads and such, but when anyone else wants to do the same its a problem! Just another perfect example of what a true hypocrite really is. They claim this so called "freedom of speech" here in the U.S. for themselves, but no one who opposes their nonsense has the same right.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition

I'd love to see billboards like this where I live! It would be a hoot to see all the religious whackos get their panties in a bunch!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

lol. The only people who put up billboards are evangelicals and atheists. (To spread a belief or lack of one)

Is there really a lot of difference between the two?
They are both evagelists...
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
