Arkansas federal judge Susan Webber Wright ruled Thursday that the Central Arkansas Transit Authority violated an atheist organization’s free speech rights when it refused to allow the group to place thousands of dollars worth of ads on city buses.


Somehow, I think the Fundy's are surprised by this.
Good. That's good. Devil

Surprised?

They'll be screeching bloody murder.

Which is also good.

As long as they can't commit State sanctioned murder to go along with their screaming, like in days of old. That part pisses them off especially, I'm sure. One way to quell the opposition is to burn them to silence.

I really want to go to the US, just so I can laugh at every theist I meet, sadly I can only afford a couple of weeks, judging from what I gave seen, read, heard, I doubt I'll gave enough time.

This though is great, I'd love to see the fundies shitting bricks.

You'd pass out within 10 minutes.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

I prefer when they come over here, they get quite confused when they realise that they are suddenly in the minority.Wink Shades
