Anti-God Ads Hit Dallas

by Christine Dao*

In the heart of the Bible belt, billboards stating “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone” have been posted in parts of Dallas, home of the Institute for Creation Research.

The boards are sponsored by the Dallas-Fort Worth Coalition of Reason (DFWCoR), an atheist nonprofit group which joins together smaller local anti-theistic organizations to “increase the growth, visibility and acceptance of nontheists throughout the Metroplex.”[1] Two ads have been posted in the D/FW area, one just a few miles from ICR headquarters, and will remain up through April.

According to Fred Edwords of the United Coalition of Reason, a co-sponsor of the ads, “the primary goal of billboards like these is to let nontheistic people—such as atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and humanists—know they aren’t alone.”...

God doesn’t believe in atheists.

United Coalition of Reason?

How is it logical to foist your disbelief onto others.

Well, it could be taken another way too that if you don’t believe in God, you are not alone because He is always there.

Turn their own words against them.

Their little heads will explode.

Or some kid who has nothing better to do (or adult) could just go paint an exclamation mark over the question mark.

Don’t believe in God?

Better hope He doesn’t quit believing in you. ;)

Whoever places the ads assuredly does not have an adequate replacement...as nothing on this less than a grain of sand planet qualifies for the job.

I never thought of it that way. And you’re right, it probably would make their little heads explode. Kind of makes them seem a bit crazy, doesn’t it!

I am sure there is something in the Constitution that limits free speech in home of the Institute for Creation Research.

LOL...I liked it better when you didn’t mess with ALL of Texas. But you gotta start taking your state back somewhere!

You don’t have to believe in God to see the threat of the godless Left. Have no doubt, they are in ascension in America, leading us down the road to universal gay marriage, illegal amnesty, cultural sterilization (Google “Brown Univ. Columbus Day”), and threatening the very fabric of our nation in ways we can not now even conceive. But what scares me the most is this sense of resignation that seems to be afoot in America, that the Obama Agenda is just going to wash through us, and there is nothing to do about it. Meanwhile the Left is fighting like hell on every front to drive a stake through the heart of the Silent Majority. When will we fight?

Strong winds have been known to destroy billboards.
