Billboard: Why Do Atheists Hate America?

[Synnical]

http://www.ingodwetrustusa.org/atheists.html

The nation's largest atheist group wants you to imagine a world without the Pledge of Allegiance, without faith, without patriotism, and without America as we know it. However, In God We Trust is standing up to them with a new advertising campaign that exposes how much the radical Atheist movement hates America and everything our nation stands for.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation has begun posting their "Imagine No Religion" billboards all across the country. So, In God We Trust has created our own billboard campaign asking "Why Do Atheists Hate America?"

Why does this particular atheist group seem to want to banish people of faith? Our sign doesn't say, ‘Imagine No Atheists.' All we want is a public debate. We want the atheists to defend some of the Anti-American statements they've made. Not only that, but we would like to know how ‘Imagine No Religion' is different than ‘Imagine No Christians' or ‘Imagine No Jews'? Think about what these atheists are really saying. ‘Imagine No Mother Theresa?' ‘Imagine No Martin Luther King, Jr.?' I guess that's the kind of world in which these atheists think we would all be better off living. We disagree, and we think most Americans feel the same way.

Billboards motivate far-flung reactions

Public Opinion Online

Public Opinion received dozens of letters from around the nation this week commenting on an ideological duel between religious and atheistic groups, as expressed on local billboards.

Following is a sampling of the letters, which were almost uniformly opposed to a billboard asking "Why Do Atheists Hate America" erected in response to a billboard which had previously asked motorists to "Imagine No Religion."

The billboards were sponsored by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and In God We Trust, a religious advocacy group led by th Rev. Bishop Nedd, Harrisburg.

1. Imagine

the Middle East with no Jews and no Muslims. Imagine Ireland with no Protestants and no Catholics. Imagine India with no Muslims and no Hindus. Imagine Iraq with no Shiites and no Sunnis. Imagine Sudan with no Christians and no Muslims. Imagine the United States with no celibate rapist priests. Imagine a whole world where no one felt the need to slaughter anyone else over imaginary beings.

2. Imagine no Locke, no Hume, no Jefferson....

And why do I have the sneaking suspicion I'll be receiving this guy's tripe in a chain e-mail in the near future?

3. Propaganda, misinformation and spin...

it should be expected from such organisations like IGWTUSA.org; they just are not happy with that on the money(which is fitting) it has to be EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING.

I sent IGWTUSA a happy gram.

5. What's a happy gram?

We need more of them/those things!

6. It's a 'fuck you' basicly, to the point, but as blunt...nt

When I say 'happy gram', it's me being sarcastic.

11. Thanks

I'm bad about reading sarcasm online, I get it in real time, but words are sometimes black and white to me. Such as when someone says/writes to me at the office, "I know you wrote/said that, but I thought you meant. . ." NO, damn it, I meant/wrote exactly what I said/wrote! Words have meaning and I'm careful about my word choices, I think, most of the time. :P

4. My hatred of America has nothing to do with the fact that there is no god.

:eyes:

Mother Teresa was a fraud. Although I must admit, MLK would really have found living under Jim Crow acceptable if not for his sky daddy.

I like where they say that thinking about a world without religion is the same as encouraging genocide against believers. The assumption is that those people would not exist if they were not believers.

10. MLK used Christianity as a common language understood by all listeners.

While he was certainly a Christian, I think his actions were despite his religion which had justified slavery for centuries and not because of it. Any thinking, feeling person has to agree that segregation is wrong.

Mother Theresa? Absolute fraud, fundmentalist and sadist.

7. I'm showing this... elsewhere... in DU. If you catch my drift. -nt

8. America killed my Dad!!!

:evilgrin: (I'm just kidding.)

9. It took "The nation's largest atheist group" literally decades

to come up with the cash to put up a billboard. But these dipwads have the financial resources to "respond" with a billboard.

I think the FFRF should sue for defamation.

12. Why do RRRW Christians Hate America?

:shrug:

[progressoid]

13. Why are these Christians such dip shits?

These people just make my head spin. I'm flummoxed.
