The sign’s OK, it just doesn’t go far enough.

If there’s no religion:

1. There’s no atheism, for atheism is a religion, with it’s own miracles: life from lifeless matter, morality from non-moral matter.

2. No God

3. No Morality

4. No purpose

5. No hope

Atheists' sign sparks controversy ("Imagine No Religion" - Shows WTC)

Needs an advert covering the glorious Pol Pot era.

Who was just a pipsqueak killa' when it comes to those enlightened
atheist leaders like Mao and Stalin.

(yeah, some folks will blame Pol Pot's bad behaviour on Buddhist influences.)

Dennis Himes, a Vernon resident, and member of CT Valley Atheists,
says he was tired of seeing Christian displays.
...SNIP...
Yesterday the town of Rockville put up a large Christmas Tree,
just 10 feet from the display.

REJOICE Dennis!
Thousands of American cities are apparently putting up Atheist
Holiday Trees in the public square.

Religious pluralism means everyone gets space in the public square.

They are full of it. This Winter Solstice nonsense is a religion!
Their sign takes something that was done by ONE specific pseudo-religion, the cult of death, and goes on to condemn ALL religions.

"Imagine No Religion."
They tried this in the Soviet Union - we know how that turned out.
However, what this sign actually does is condemn the "religion of peace."

[DouglasKC]

Oh, please.
Nothing in the sign picks on Christians.

I agree. If anything it picks on Muslims. Christians didn't blow up the towers.

Always entertaining to note when a person's personal philosophy against something depends completely on the existence of that something.

[RichInOC]

No, thanks. I’d prefer to imagine there was no atheism. In so many ways, it’d be a better world.

Imagining “Imagine”
On the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, it’s worth taking a look at the gibberish in his beloved anthem.

[Beckwith]

Atheism is the highest form of human arrogance.

Just as love is not a quantifiable commodity, neither is faith. Atheists have no problem believing in love, though it too cannot be explained or measured.

What a sad, miserable way to lead one’s life: without faith. My direction is led by the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The funny thing is at this time of the year when we as a people find it in our hearts to believe in the Holiday, we forget the one everlasting gift given to all of us by the Father and the Son.

Spread the word, Christ is Love, Faith is Love.

Love, is FAITH.

Merry Christmas.

How about-—’Imagine no ‘religion’ that worships death.’
“Imagine no Islam”
“ Imagine no Atheists”
