		<description>We have these up in SAN DIEGO too!!!! One is on I-8W. SAME ad.

@Sakura

I don&#039;t have to respect their ridiculous beliefs, ever. I only have to tolerate them. Tolerance and respect are not the same. 

I find anti-gay ads very offensive, and also get annoyed by constant showings of xtian faith. You can&#039;t help your feelings, only what you do about them.

And yes, Ronisymello, why would the &quot;all powerful god&quot; need a BILLBOARD? Seems a little low budget- kinda like showing up on a toaster :)

You can be offended but still respect something.  When was last time a &quot;Keep the Christ in Christmas&quot; or other religous sign or billboard vandalized with hate speech?  
We respect their right to put them up and don&#039;t mess with them just like was ask the same, we never asked Christian groups to agree with our billboards.</description>

		<description>Nothing like the freedom to do anything that is within reason.
While I am not an atheist, I nevertheless support freedom of speech.
God I assure you needs no billboards!!!!!</description>

		<description>Sakura,

How are you offended by the &quot;Keep the Christ in Christmas&quot; billboards? If atheists want their viewpoints respected, they need to respect and tolerate the beliefs of others. People believe Christ is their saviour, and they have the right to practice their religion.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s cool....I really wish we could get some in Utah. The Knights of Columbus decided to put up a ton of &quot;Keep Christ in Christmas&quot; billboards everywhere....I was actually getting offended last night driving by all of them</description>
