Free Speech and Death Threats


So I really like this.
'Godless' Billboard Moved After Threats Against Owner
I wonder if God told the person to send death threats?
Love thy neighbor, as long as they believe what I do.

I think this billboard is much less offensive than those aborted fetus billboards that Ive seen.

I agree. I don't even see how it can be offensive at all. It specifically asks a question as to whether or not you should even pay attention to it. If you can't answer yes to the billboard, then it isn't talking to you.

It isn't trying to convert the masses, it is merely trying to gather like minded people together, unlike those bus ads stating that there is probably no god. I can see how that would be offensive to those who are unwilling to cede their viewpoints.

I suppose there is some biblical and traditional precidents for killing non-belivers. there is also the same for loving them. I can see how one could get mixed messages about how to respond when presented with atheism.

"Free Speech and Death Threats", bucket seats have all got to go. When I'm driving in my car, it makes my baby seem so far..

There is a class of people, perhaps a collection of classes, who find any discounting of something they hold dear as an affront to themselves.

Kinda like playing a Pally, Lightning Spearazon, or Raven Druid around J...

Or telling me Howard the Duck isn't funny.

We just can't abide by it, you see. It's too ... terrible to contemplate a world where such things exist. Could also be why J gives the best arguments. Being anethma to me and all.
