Default Atheists' sign sparks controversy

Article here

"We ultimately believe that Christians have been persecuted throughout history," said Houser, "so this is nothing new."

Nothing big here, just for laughs and Christmas joy. Also a nice reference to Lennon's "Imagine" :D

All this trouble over one sign that a Atheists group put up. You see sgin all about Christians and yet we Atheists don't complain about it.

Best part ever.


"We ultimately believe that Christians have been persecuted throughout history," said Houser, "so this is nothing new."

It's a bit sad when the majority victimizes itself over and over. They were persecuted for a few hundred years, then held power for more than a thousand years.

No, this is an attack.

Well, I find that article interesting that such a small sign could cause so much trouble. I do like how obscure the reference to Lennon was though.

Personally I don't find the whole theory behind the poster very realistic, but that's probably just me. Shows that it's not just hardheaded Christians that can be close-minded.

"Himes also says that the picture of the Twin Towers is meant to show that without religion, 9-11 wouldn't have happened. A suggestion that has upset Muslims, as well."

Nah, really?

There were twenty attacks committed in the name of Islam, today. TheReligionofPeace.com - Islam: Making a True Difference in the World About halfway down the page, you can see the attacks that have happened over the past few months. My guess would be that there are at LEAST a hundred listed, so can you really blame someone for making such a negative implication regarding religion?

All religions have extremists, you cant blame an entire religion for the minority of extremists who think they can take things into thier owns hands and kill for no reason whatsoever.
