Christian speech riles atheists

Again.  But answering speech with speech is fine

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist activist non-profit, is advertising a new billboard that uses gay themes to argue against faith in the public sphere. The ad, which reads, “Ban Marriage Between Church and State,” was erected in Smithville, Missouri, in response to a separate, Christian sign reaffirming that marriage is between one man and one woman.

The new 14 by 48 foot atheist ad uses a rainbow, a symbol familiar to the gay community, to make its case. The “Ban Marriage Between Church and State” billboard was recently placed near an ad put up by Catholic Radio that reads, “1 Man, 1 Woman, Forever.”

Smillville resident Matt Gaines employed the FFRF to post the message after he saw the Catholic Radio ad and contended that it is overtly offensive to homosexuals.

Anything and everything they disagree with is overtly offensive to homosexuals, which is why we should never take them seriously. Radical gay activists are simply the modern day version of the Nazi Gestapo, except with limp wrists.

“Ban Marriage Between Church and State”

I like it. Just get the government out of the marriage business, picking winners and losers, and leave it to the churches. There are hundreds of religions and people choose the one they agree with. If their church decides to marry gays, then they can choose a different church. Or they can be like most religions and go to war with and slaughter each other.

Get the state out of the "marriage business" altogether. They should only be worried about "Civil Unions" anyway.

See my blog: Get the State Out of the Marriage Business

"Islam is not a good religion gone bad. It has been evil from day one."

Of course Luke will say that since he believes that the one true religion is Jesus based. All other religions (and non religions) is shit.

All religious people think their own religion (and even their own version of their religion) is the correct one. So what's the odds that any one of them is correct?

Use the Name, Luke said...

Atheists also think that their view is correct and everyone else is wrong. That's not unique to religious people.

There's a reason for that. It's called the Law of Non-Contradiction. Only one (at most) view can be right. There's nothing irrational about it.

Even three-year-olds understand this principle on a basic level. ("Is not!" "Is too!" "Is not!" "Is too!") So why is this so surprising to you?

Because the odds against Luke's own religious views being more correct than the numerous other religious views around - let alone non-religious views - are astronomical!
Besides, a-theism is merely non-acceptance of theism, not a view in itself, even if some "atheists" also propose other views.
