Atheists of Florida news:

Regarding the public Q&A panel discussion on Monday, you may find it interesting to note that the first reporter to confirm he will be there is from EO Dutch Public Radio.

This is a religious broadcaster in the Netherlands known for its Creationist Christian viewpoint.

I would like someone to show me where in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution the words that say we are a christian nation founded on the ten commandments and the holy babble. Can’t because the words do not exist. They only exist in the brain washed minds of fools. They listen to their priests and pastors and never question the BS.

All I an say is, just wait until you are standing before the ONE who created you and then let’s see what you say!!!!!! (course if you are still an athiest at that time it is going to be too late). Sorry, but you will be Hell bound at that point. A lot of people like to “slam” Jesus, but He is the one that gave up His live for everyone (that will believe). Oh well…you’ll see.

I would LOVE to see one of those billboards go up here in South Carolina. Could you imagine the chaos THAT would cause. I would love to just sit back and watch all of the BTs go at it. There are more churches here than there are Starbucks in Seattle. The billboard would last all of two hours before some un-enlighened fool would be burning it to the ground.

The sign can be seen on Memorial Blvd close to interstate 4. The local godbots have their panties in a wad, and have made statements that gawd will destroy the sign.

Heh, my dad lives in Lakeland.

@zoo: Lakeland is where they filmed Edward Scissorhands (you know, the town that is Tim Burton’s & my vision of hell) and The Waterboy. I think that makes it pretty funny.

@sli: The video says it’s on Memorial somewhere.

Of course we knew that it would stir up some controversy. The true Christians in the area, and were there a lot of true Moslems in the area, possibly even moreso, are not used to having their comfort zone poked at. And, I hate to say, it appears to be that most are not well enough educated for them to read the words on the billboard and understand their purpose.

I live in St. Pete just south of Tampa, and I knew when I heard some people were upset over a billboard it would be somthing like this. While the billboards make me smile for the outrage they cause among the religious, it saddens me because no one seemed to care about the No Seperation of Church and State billboards from a while back. Those were the ones that should cause outrage. Lakeland is more overly christian than St. Pete, but we (the people, certainly not me) just elected a creationist whackjob for mayor. Oy vey
