How smart are they to target the city with the fewest believers?

[Cheetahcat]

Clarence I do not believe in your Fairy God mother Hussein Obama either so go to hell.

[1000 silverlings]

I knew a lot of so called atheists who pray every time they drive across the Bay Bridge, and they’d better, lol

[max americana]

They “dont believe in God” yet they voted for a messiah who sold them “hopeychangey”. Now who’s the gullible one?

[Berlin_Freeper]

It would be more pertinent for them to consider if there is a Satan, rather than wasting their time about God.

[ReneeLynn]

Sadly, for them, the joke is on them. It’s gonna be hell when they find out they’re wrong.

Mother Goose is buried at the Trinity Church cemetery in Boston.

Well, if we’re going to be reminded of Clarence Darrow, let’s make sure Margaret Sanger and the books she wrote are republished so the reading public can be reminded that Ms. Sanger was a big of eugenics. So was Clarence Darrow for that matter. It’s fairly safe to assume that atheists don’t really attach any special significance to human life.

[silverleaf]

Sounds like a religious message on government property to me. Anti-religion is a religion.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I hear atheists complaining about people forcing religion on them. Isn’t this forcing atheism on others the same thing ?

hypocrites

[Berlin_Freeper]

More tourist attracting opportunity for the rest of America.

Agnosticism will never heal a broken heart, cure a sick mind, or love the unlovable. To live without God is to live without Light.

[Liberty1970]

"I don‘t believe in God, because I don’t believe in Mother Goose."

Where is the logic in that statement? There isn't any. One might as well say "I don't believe in George Washington, because I don't believe in the tooth fairy." The two subjects are unconnected. It speaks to readers' prejudices while being totally irrational in content.

[UCANSEE2]

Where is the logic in that statement?

Appeal to the lowest common educational denominator.

Two fleas were sitting on a dog.

One flea said to the other flea: There is no dog.

Now those controversial words and others are being used in part of a new push to promote the thinking of atheists and agnostics.

Agnostics make no claims about the existence of "Mother Goose". These are religious adherents to Atheism with a capital A. They advocate their religious worldview and condemn the "non-believers" in it. They are decidedly ANTI-Theist. Bigots in a word.

How smart are they to target the city with the fewest believers?

Hey now, there are plenty of people "seeking" something "else" to believe in. The church of Scientology, The Church of Satan, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones all got their start in SF.

[a fool in paradise]

The campaign is the brainchild of the Midwest-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, which represents some 14,000 nonbelievers across the country. The association has been working since 1978 to keep church and state separate. The ads are already popping up on city buses...

The SAME prohibition on establishing a State Religion ALSO prohibits limiting the exercise of religion. Freedom OF religion is NOT freedom FROM religion; that worldview turns Atheism into the defacto State "religion" just as the Communists wanted.

And in a related story, they are planning to import coal to Newcastle-on-Tyne.

[ROTB]

They believe God is make believe.
