'Imagine no religion,' says atheists' display

Connecticut atheists, taking advantage of a town's policy of allowing holiday-season displays in its public park, have erected a 10-foot tall sign in celebration of the winter solstice that includes a message blaming the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, on religious believers.

The 3-sided sign was erected in the Town of Vernon's Central Park on Dec. 1 by the Connecticut Valley Atheists. The two sides facing Main Street feature a pre-attack image of the Twin Towers with the sun shining between them and the message, "Imagine no religion," drawn from the John Lennon anthem, "Imagine."

Use of the image is meant to say the Twin Towers would still be standing were it not for religion, CVA coordinator Dennis Himes told the Hartford Courant.

The goal is to "simply emphasize an advantage of atheism, something good about atheism," Himes said. "Al-Qaida is not a terrorist organization that happens to be religious, it is a terrorist organization that is inspired by its religious beliefs."

No, it is a satanic deathcult.

Imagine no religion and it’s consequence for the world?! I think Mao and Stalin have given us a foretaste of what kind of paradise the world would be without G-d. I have no interest at all.

how sad this people compare religions, when they don’t understand of what they speak.

That sign looks like good practice for firing a shotgun in a moving car.

Gosh! I’ll at least give them credit for having the guts to criticize Islam. Most “atheists” in my experience are only too happy to make salaam to islam and have a tolerant attitude to every imaginable religion except christianity.

Atheism is a faith-based belief system.

Atheists hate it when you point that out to them.

[goldstategop]

They don't get around to mentioning the "I" word. It never occurs to atheists they would be eradicated under Islam.

Theres no differnce between the two. Neither of them believe in God!

The misnomer is Atheism is a religion as they say
they have all of the answers and want to push
their belief of nothing on their betters.

A person that says “I just don’t know is more honest
than any atheist”.

I’d rather imagine a world without liberals/commies, pedophiles, transgenders, homosexuals, MSM, Muzzies, Clintoons, Kennedy’s, Atheists, PETA, enviro wackos, illegal aliens.

I’d rather imagine my Constitution being upheld by its Congress and President. Wow! What a fantasy! Too bad it won’t ever happen!

[pandoraou812]

So the photo of the sun streaming between the Twin Towers forms a cross....Hmm how fitting. I bet Himes & the Connecticut atheists really hate that.

You're a starry-eyed idealist.

These people must have been the kids at school who got their asses kicked on a daily basis.

I bet if you went up to one of these guys and said; "Gimme your lunch money!", he would pee his pants.

Pitiful little person. I feel sorry a soul so twisted that it produces such garbage.

"It's easy if you try"

But I imagine you won't

That picture of the WTC has a cross on it (shining between the buildings)

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.

Yeah, Imagine THAT!

(tick, tick, tick...waiting till someone comes along and tells
FR that Buddhism was the dominant motivator of Pol Pot)

Then they should put their signs up in front of mosques. But of course they don't have the guts.
