So I just saw this while “Stumbling” around the internet, and it looked very familiar. I went back and looked through my pics from Mardi Gras this year, and sure enough! Better late to respond than never!

If you want to talk about a bad atheist

slogan, how about the billboards they

put up out west.

Hemant, your blog brought to mind a funny scene I witnessed a while back on Mardi Gras. In case you didn't see it yet, check out Christians Almost Cause Mardi Gras Riot.

Meh. I dated a catholic guy once who went to Mardi Gras–from his description (I called while he was there) I think I would hate to be there. Way too wild and chaotic. I’d actually prefer a bit of Lent over that. Maybe it’s just me. Never been much of a party animal.

What advice would you give him if he tried this again?

What could he do to have the most positive interactions possible with Christians?

He could have added;
“Get your FREE conversion here!”
And in smaller type underneath;

“(Offer not valid in Kansas, Louisiana, etc)”

Of the people that didn’t seem to understand the slogan, it could be that they didn’t recognize the concept of lent. I think this guy had a great idea and personally I think it worked better than I would have expected!
Rock on!

boy, you sure showed them! way to stick it to them.

/and you’re a moron who wasted a perfectly good chance to party in order to preach. no different than the religious folk you love. You just have a different annoying message.

This is great, fly the banner but let the people come to you. Being opposite the idiot street preachers annoying everyone just makes him seem so much more likeable and relaxed.

I’d buy him a pint and wish him well. I might also show him my (man) boobs.

Thanks for stopping by, Eric.

We’ve got a few understanding-oriented theists posting here. It always helps to have others stopping in time and again.
