Hopefully we at Alabama League of Reason can get a bill board in Mobile Alabama next. We will sure try our hardest in the up and coming months.

i’am not one to use foul language but i must
in this situation

If you find it offensive then you are a sick FUCK.
Pretty soon there we not be any kind of free speech in our country because someone and everyone will complain.
Then we will all be walking aound like zombies in the not to future
we will be living in fear that if we look at someone the wrong way or smile at anyone we will be arrested for gawd knows what reason.
So if your offended by that sign I can only say gawd help us all.

[...] has been around probably as long as billboards have been and recently even Atheist’s have gotten into the mix with some of their own so on the surface the latest campaign by a group in Florida is [...]

“You have to know what area of the country you’re in,” he said. “A heavy percent of our population is Christian. That’s who we cater to.”

I think a more accurate statement would be: ‘You have to know what area of the country you’re in, a heavy percent of the Christian population are ridiculously annoying’

Watch the Darwin fish, I had two ripped off the back of my car in college.. (i.e. that place us stupid southern people go to learn how to read)

As an another atheist in Alabama, this is my favorite crazy Christian sign to see when driving through Birminhgam. It's actually in Clanton, AL, and between that and the ginormous Confederate battle flag next to the interstate, I won't stop there for gas (not out of fear, but because I don't want to support their existence).

Don’t know if it’s legal, but it would help in the future if you can provide links to the papers, ad agencies, etc. Then we could write to them, boycott, etc.
In our Gay Rights struggle, we were “in your face” a lot because we needed you to see that your neighbor, clerk, Priest even. were gay.
Same for non-believers now. We may have to be offensive to some, for the greater good. Offensive, but never rude or violent.

Isn’t it sad that we live in a country where it’s perfectly fine for hundreds of christians to put an Ichthus on their car but if I put a Darwin Fish, or any other evolution symbol on my car, I have to worry that these same christians will destroy my paint job or retaliate in some other destructive way? That’s not very christian…

Ron Grove Has an excellent point its too bad the second line of the sign sort-a IDed the athiest. Cuz it could have been the opposite message. It amazin how they all took the negative to religion rather then the positive. They really are weak in faith!!!. My original point was to state there is nothing athiestic in the sign, as it does NOT say ‘imagine NO gOd’. In fact the 2nd line is not even athiestic.

I’m in Alabama too Tankred…but its in places like Alabama that this’ll do the most good. Not because believers will become more tolerant or abandon faith delusions, but because their responses will expose their dark and scary emotions and lies about love.

In the 40 plus years I’ve been watching, religion has been the most damaged when they’ve risen up to counter what they perceive as ‘dangerous’ or ‘persecution’.
