Go us. Need to find it and get my picture taken. Oh, and how many people know that Mardi Gras is technically a Catholic holiday? It was ripped off the pagans, but still.

Clever and to the point: a simple statement someone of like mind can follow up on, or not. I don't see why any believer would object to this, except perhaps out of fear that someone, somewhere, has a different opinion. This is a great ad.

We could car pool if you like? Call our president, Harry Greenberger, (504) 592-0836, and he’ll put you in contact with me. Hey, you may be our first recruit due to the sign. We only need another $550/$15 is 36 new members and we’ve got our money back. Wh-hoooo! MrsRefney, I’m on the NOSHA board and I live on the North Shore too! We could car pool if you like?

I may need to reconsider. If only we could find someway to negate those "preachers" that go up and down Bourbon with those HUGE signs proclaiming we are all going to hell... About the colors...the most beautiful colors of all...especially on a King Cake! ;P Being on the Northshore (you NOLA peeps will know what I’m talking about) I’ve been hesitating joining NOSHA because of the drive.

The tone shows empathy as well. Believers can still be cheesed off about it, but this time their only rationale is their own narrow view of the world, not the language of the ad. The most effective atheist ad out there. It’s a good ad; the message ties directly with the intent (reach out to like-minded people who may want to join the group). The tone shows empathy as well.

Way to go!!! and who gives a crap what the colors are.. If you don't like it... Don't look at it! I am not a member of the club, but I Don't beleive in "GOD" either. What a joke churches are along with the money grubbing priests and pastors... WE had a pastor that owned his own private jet.. Now where the hell do you think he got that money from?? GOD??? Kudos go out to whoever decided to run this advertisement on the trolley car. LOVE the advertisement NOSHA… Way to go!!! and who gives a crap what the colors are..
