Hey, I would love to find a way to get one of those up in my small, small, small town. Same dilemmas here. Church on EVERY corner, and a Jesus fish on many cars. Cross necklaces and small town thinking I wish so badly to eradicate. Well, I’m not a dictator..just an annoyed free thinking teenager. Well, I think I would like to visit this website. It would be really cool to make a difference and have people question their beliefs.

Just moved to Morgantown a couple of weeks ago. I wish I would have been paying attention when this came up in my RSS feeds, then I could have paid more attention to signs while driving through the snowy icy ick to get here.

Hey littlejohn, I’m south of morgantown in “shitkicker” grafton. There’s a big handful of atheists here, myself and fiance included. I’m sure that goes for the rest of our state too, not just the college towns. I’m really glad to see this organization form and hope more form and grow as well. We thought of making a group at Fairmont State where we go to school, now -there’s- a place that needs a secular group…

Thanks for all the positive responses everyone. I am in the Coalition of Reason with Neece, and I’m glad that the majority of the responses have been in favor of the billboard.

Anonymous Atheist: It’s sad that someone as educated as a professor would still deny evolution. In my last semester at WVU I had a professor claim that vaccines cause autism and that evolution was “controversial” in the same day. We still have a long way to go.

When I first saw it I said “Did that say what I think it said”. I turned the car around and it was true. Right here in Motown Atheist! It was refreshing to know there is someone out there speaking out against this CULT called Organized Religion the greatest Hoax ever pulled off by man, and still continues even in this somewhat prgressive society. Two Thumbs up keep the movement rolling.

Hahaha, my professor mentioned this in class today (in WV but not Morgantown). He was asking how can someone see a flower and NOT believe in god. I didn’t touch that as I don’t want the whole place referring to me as ‘Satan-worshipper’ or some nonsense. A girl in class exclaimed “They can put that on a billboard?!” Again, I just sat there and let them make their bigoted points on how ‘wrong’ it was for anyone with differing beliefs to express their thoughts.

It’s hard being atheist with the Bible belt around your neck!

We’ve here. We’re not going away. We are growing in numbers. Brothers and sisters let’s join hands and help move the world forward and away from superstitious man-invented beliefs. We are all in this world together – let us break down the barriers that keep us apart.

Being a WV native, this is really exciting. Hopefully, visible displays like this will start to pop up outside of Morgantown. However, I have to say, that growing up in the northern panhandle of the state, I knew a good number of people who weren’t religious. There were only a few who would openly call themselves atheist, but a ton who didn’t go to church or anything. Maybe it’s different in the southern part of the state though.

OMG! Been mostly a lurker in the atheosphere for about a year and a half, but I just had to respond to this.

I’m a townie!! And apparently I’m not alone here!!

I’m just floored right now.
