In response to "Do the Christian messages saying that I should seek Christ's salvation also say, "but if you don't that's cool too"?" by musubi

I said, they are doing the exact same thing with atheism that I don't like about theism.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

This isn't an eye for an eye. *Neither* is antagonistic imo. I ignore both. - musubi Sep 9, 10:08 35

    - This sort of thing is why I want to own a private island. A region of space where I can dictate terms, without impacting others. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:17
  - (and, of course, religious advertising includes the anti-religious ...) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:10

    - I'm saying at least one side, if not both, are clearly being antagonistic. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:13 25
      - I disagree. Imo, the signs linked carry the same level of proselytizing as the typical scriputure-quoting religious billboard. - musubi Sep 9, 10:16 14
        
        it was factually horseshit. "evolve beyond belief" is plainly antagonistic on its face. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:17 13
        
        Why is that any more antogonistic than "Christ is the ONLY way" or some such? - musubi Sep 9, 10:21 7
        
        One is expressing a personally held belief, the other is expressing that someone elses personally held belief makes them un-evolved i.e. stupid - Stephen Sep 9, 10:36
        
        its not. they are both antagonistic to some degree. one could argue whether they are *intended* to be so... - TFox Sep 9, 10:23 4
        
        So, it's arguable, and not "factually horsesh**", eh? I completely disagree with your 100% number in the IM. - musubi Sep 9, 10:26 3
        
        the intent is arguable. the douchiness, decidedly not. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:27 2
        
        Really? You consider a Christian who politely tells me that Christ is the only path to salvation is being a douche? (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:29 1
        
        I would describe it as being overbearing, and it would make me uncomfortable. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:31
        
        I consider them to be equally overbearing. That's my opinion. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:22
        
        only if you presume evolution to be a value-driven process - znufrii Sep 9, 10:19 4
        
        Now this post here, is clearly antagonistic. Only meant to rile TFox. (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:22
        
        *smashes you in the face* -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:19 2
        
        I must say... - znufrii Sep 9, 10:20 1
        
        I've been consistently anti-douche in my career here. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:25

        i never said not to let them. they can knock themselves out. just said they're douchey. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:16 8

        they both annoy me, because they are both douchey, and perhaps the worst Christian ones are even worse... - TFox Sep 9, 10:25
        
        I find them all amusing and consider them a waste of money. - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:25 1

        I guess I am not sure, what side is being douchey? -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 10:17 2
        
        both sides have made douchey billboards on plenty of occasions. - TFox Sep 9, 10:18
        
        I don't know if TFox shares this opinion, but I say that both sides are. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:18

    - HOUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:11
A Darwin billboard doesn't really say anything about atheism. Most of the Christians I know are fine with evolution. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 10:08 2
- That particular billboard did. - musubi Sep 9, 10:10
- It's the "Evolve BEYOND Belief" subtitle that I have an issue with -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:09

I said, they are doing the exact same thing with atheism that I don't like about theism.
