atheists ads of buses in ft. worth

[71chevellejohn]

I can't wait to see someone tag the busses with that ad so that it reads, “Millions of Americans are Good Without God, but millions and millions of people around the world are better with Him!”

So vandalism is the correct religious follower's response to a disagreement??

However, you nonetheless felt compelled to come into this thread and post your own B.S.


Does that not also make you an equally retarded homo?

[BUFFALOHALTOM]

Omg. Read my lips. Who fucking cares. I literally skipped all three pages of this bullshit cause its gay.
I know it sucks but our lame ass government allows free speech and freedom of religion to everyone. Thats the deal cant beat it, no point in bitchin, not gonna change anybodies mind.
If you dont like it, just give the bus a real angry mad look and walk away.
This retarded shit has been everywhere. I dont care. It doesnt pretain to me so fuck it. Move on and lock this homo thread

It was a well wishing for people who were about to die from the black plague.

I've heard that one, but the one I've heard most commonly referred to is that when you sneezed evil spirits were being cast out of the body, so they wanted to bless you before they had a chance to get back in. I'll reserve further comment.

If you sneeze what do you want me to say?

"Get your AIDS under control."

These ads are shoving nothing down everyone's throat.

I never said they did. Reading comprehension my friend.

Pun intended.

Do you know the origins of "bless you" after a sneeze?

I ask my girlfriend to say applejuice. I'm not joking.

I'm not offended, and I don't feel that my rights have been violated. I don't care about the signs just like I don't care about Elvis posting god bless. However, posting my belief on the side of a bus is very similar to posting my belief by asking god to bless everyone who reads my post. FWIW, I only read the first three sentences of your post and skimmed the rest. If what I'm saying doesn't completely apply to your post, that's why.

Oh the offended/rights violated parts weren't directed at you in particular, just me ranting i guess.

If a Muslim said "May Allah bless you" I can't imagine why that would offend me, not sure why God Bless would be any different? (Again not directed at you dustin, I know you were joking)

The problem with America is that everybody thinks they're a victim.

Agreed.

That's a stretch. Promoting your own religion is not the same as attacking others. Saying God Bless may offend you, but it isn't directed at you negatively. Why would you be bothered that ELVIS may want his God to bless you anyway? If he did bless you you would call it a stroke of luck and be excited you got whatever it was anyway, right?

This is the problem with the America. People think because they are offended that their rights have been violated. Wrong! If they were killing you for worshiping your god that would be violating your rights. Expressing an opposing view is not.

I am a Christian, and no I don't like the buses, but the atheists have every right to believe what they want and I support that just as much as I support my own. Like the First Methodist pastor said, If anything their name could be considered insulting by it's insinuation, but it doesn't bother me because I see it as a reaction to extremist Christians (ect), not really an attack on me personally. (Anybody that knows me would agree im not anything that could be described as extreme)

I see what you did there.
