In response to "It's advocating a position. Must like "Jesus Saves" does. If you don't agree, so what?" by musubi

Come on, it's really doing more than just advocating a position.

It's saying if you don't also hold this position you're stupid and i'm better than you.

- 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

    - 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
