The unblessing project, he explained, was "not about atheist rights" but about "welcoming everybody into Polk County."

LOL, it doesn't work that way, that blessing is now transferred to the atheists.

Beware atheists you may start believing and don't touch each other!

Palmer is an ironic name considering that is what was laid down on the road for Jesus to travel on.

Is he going to scrub his name too?

Now let me get this straight! These Dufs try to undo a blessing that has no foundation because they say "there is no god"!

Am I missing somthin here?

So let me get this straight (I only have a public education): these Polk County Atheists are trying to undo something that they don’t believe could have happened in the first place - invoking God’s blessing. Don’t their actions mean they really think the original blessing had an effect?

What is the world coming to when you can’t even depend on an atheist to walk the talk???

A road isn’t blessed to keep people out. Its blessed for the safety of travelers. If someone wishes to be an atheist thats their choice. To seek to undo a persons good intentions however only demonstrates ignorance for lack of a better word.

So help me out here— the atheists /humanists claimed “we come in peace.” They also claim that they do not believe in God.And it seems logical that if they do not believe in God then the actions of the Christians who annointed the road were without meaning to the atheists .And if true then the actions of the atheists and humanists were decidedly hostile —and blasphemous—and prove the LIE they tell about coming in Peace and about welcoming everybody.I thank God hey are so transparent.

I think some are missing the point here. If one reasons that the actions by the atheists are nonsensical or even silly, then one might also reason that the actions of the Priest are also nonsensical and silly. One symbollic act infers another, neither of which evidences any observable change to reality. This is how they pull some people in from the fence. That is how they grow stronger socially and hence politically. Keep changing the terms of the argument. Approach it from different angles, and you peel off some more. It’s a common activist method. You take control of the intellectual argument and so long as you are determined, patient and persistent, in time you will win.

My dad was an atheist. My dearest friend is high standing admin in the James Randi foundation. I am friends with many many atheist just from knowing her and everyone I know would laugh hysterically at this garbage.

Most of them would warn of the stupidity of creating their very own dogma.

Atheist isn’t a negative form of religion. It’s an absence of one. These goons just became Satanists (not the worshiping Satan kind, but Levey’s version) of just being anti-Christianity.

Besides, I’d bet a million dollars they wouldn’t try some crap with the Muslims. They fear THOSE religious zealots.

Doesn't sound very welcoming.

Once again though, atheists are confirming the existance of what they demand does not exist.

If some ROPer were to declare the highway under the control of a genie (jin), I would not spend my weekend trying to get the genie to leave. If I did do such a thing, you would have to assume that I believed in genies.

So thank you atheists, for the affirmation.

Since these flakes do not believe in God then why do they believe in Blessings?
They must, since they believed that the highway they were at had been Blessed and it needed to be removed.
What maroons...........

The negative proves the positive. But hey, this is post-enlightenment. Who has any use for logic?

It would be interesting to gather data on wrecks, drunk driving, injuries, fatalities, etc. for the period from the road blessing until the unblessing, then track prospectively the same data to see if the unblessing led to an increase in the above.

Sadie: I curse you! I curse you with bad luck!

Humanist: I don't believe in curses, therefore I am not cursed.

Sadie: Are to.

Humanist: Am not.

Sadie: Are to.

Humanist: Curses don't exist!

Sadie: Do to.

Humanist: Well then, I undo your curse with my anti-curse hex!

Sadie: There is no anti-curse hex!

Humanist: Is to.

Sadie: Why would you anti-curse hex my curse if curses are not real? Huh! Explain that!

Humanist: I did it just in case...of...

Sadie: See. They are real. Even you believe in it. And now, I re-curse you! So there!

Humanist: You can't re-curse!

Sadie: Then you can't anti-curse hex!

Mother: Kids! Stop fighting and play nice.

Funniest Steve Martin song in a really long time and appropriate for this thread.

“Atheist don’t have no songs”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wogta8alHiU

Part of the song:

(Christians have)
Christians have their hymns and pages.
(Hymns and pages)
Hava Nagila’s for the Jews.
(For the Jews)
Baptists have the rock of ages.
(Rock of ages)
Atheists just sing the blues.

(Romantics play)
Romantics play Claire de Lune.
(Claire de Lune)
Born agains sing He is risen.
But no one ever wrote a tune.
(Wrote a tune)
For godless existentialism.
(For godless existentialism)

For Atheists,
There’s no good news.
They’ll never sing,
A song of faith.

In their songs,
They have a rule.
The “he” is always lowercase.
The “he” is always lowercase.
