  - both i would say -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 9, 10:52
  - For example, I think non-religious types have a right not to be told they will burn in hell for not churching it up, which is a normal occurrence here -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 10:50 3
    - I would view billboards that go against my point of view with a grain of salt. - Loyola Sep 9, 10:57
    - Well, we'll all be burning before long. - Al Gore Sep 9, 10:52
    - how would you enforce that right, though? -- nm - Reagen Sep 9, 10:52
  - There are people in the US that believe people should be compelled to belong to a religion. - Reagen Sep 9, 10:48 9
    - I doubt very many Americans are like that. In any case, if that's what they call their organization in response to the belief from others that all - Loyola Sep 9, 10:54

  - Exactly, if a Jewish Billboard went up saying "Rosh Hoshana: it's the bestest", is that being douchey and antagonistic? (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:48 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - What's interesting is that some atheists feel compelled to impose their beliefs on others... - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 11:11
    - "it's the bestest" is fun and charming. as is "Heathen's Greetings". Evolve beyond belief is not. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:49

- You think they're douchey? I think Heathen's Greetings is pretty funny. - musubi Sep 9, 10:43 26

        My objection isn't to being excluded -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 11:06 1
        
        right? please, exclude me. specifically: leave me alone altogether. -- nm - kare Sep 9, 11:10
        
        Adults can deal with this very well, you're right. Personally, religious people have been talking this way to me since I was a child. - con_carne Sep 9, 11:00 1
        
        It's fan*tas*tic! -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 11:01
        
        By the same token, if you don't believe your faith intereferes with your evolution, why would you be upset at the "Evolve Beyond Belief" billboard? - musubi Sep 9, 10:56 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Because in that case, it's not god who is doing the actual damning. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 10:56

        Heh! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 10:54
    - It's advocating a position. Must like "Jesus Saves" does. If you don't agree, so what? - musubi Sep 9, 10:49 13
      - Come on, it's really doing more than just advocating a position. - Stephen Sep 9, 10:51 12
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Well, ok, but if that's your personally held belief you can't say that it's not antagonistic. - Stephen Sep 9, 11:01 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        How very mature! -- nm - Stephen Sep 9, 11:19
        
        It's saying there's something I need to be saved from. -- nm - Reagen Sep 9, 11:02
        
        No, it's really no different than "Jesus Saves". It's just that you believe the latter and not the former. - musubi Sep 9, 10:53 6
        
        More like it would be the same if the billboard said Jesus Saves and if you don't believe that you're stupid. -- nm - Stephen Sep 9, 10:54 5
        
        Does the Darwin billboard say "if you don't your stupid"? - musubi Sep 9, 10:58 4
        
        The implication is right there. - Stephen Sep 9, 11:04 3
        
        which is just the reverse implication of "Jesus Saves". -- nm - Reagen Sep 9, 11:07
        
        That same implication can be inferred in "Jesus Saves". But you already believe it, so you don't notice it. - musubi Sep 9, 11:07 1
        
        FWIW, I agree with you. There is an implied insult that someone would be stupid not to believe in God in what is often spoken by religious people - oblique Sep 9, 11:10
- You may or may not be serious with your last sentence, but I think that a lot of people letigimately believe that, whether or not they'd actually - prayformojo Sep 9, 10:41 1
