I’ll bet these cowardly bass turds wouldn’t say things like this about Islam. They’d have their heads handed to them. Yellow cowards!

All I can say is they are missing out on life’s purpose and power and spiritual fulfillment.

Well I am offended!
Offended to the very depths of my soul!
Indeed, the youngsters in my vast family are bewildered and offended too!

Can I file a law suit and get this offending Ad taken down?

Atheists only exist if God thinks they do.

If they are really atheists, why do they care? And why do they care enough to invest in advertisements? I find that very strange.

Doesn’t hurt me. I know the Truth. Lot of good your billboards will do you when you die, atheists. Poor, silly saps.

Because they are not atheists, they are anti-theists.

Celbrating Reason and celebrating God are vitrually the same thing. Reason, that is actually valid and not just the epiphenomen of blind chemical and electromagnetic forces, cannot exist without God.

It is not that atheists don’t believe, it is that they will believe in anything.

Indeed, God is the author of reason.

American atheists - another communist front group? Started in 1963? By whom? KGB? GRU?

“If they are really atheists, why do they care? And why do they care enough to invest in advertisements? I find that very strange.”

In most cases, they are attention whores. I stress most. I know a couple of atheists that are not like that at all. Virtually all others I have met scream nonsense like this to either appear “smart and enlightened” or “shocking”.

Well, I'm going to go with the Schadenfreude approach on this one. Watching these people being miserable and trying to make everyone else miserable makes me laugh.

They don’t know the truth: There is a logical case for Christ!

They probably feel religion is being shoved at them and they are fighting back by pushing their own views on others. Admittedly some religions do prosletyze (sp?) and it’s up to people to say, “No thanks” if they don’t agree. But atheists should probably just keep it to themselves—they are in effect creating their own religion, their own prosletyzing.
But mostly it’s just “I hate people who shove religion at me” (their opinion) “so I’m shoving back”.

I don’t know if they’re going to work on Christmas Day, if they’re so offended...my own view btw is I tolerate any religion that spreads love, peace, tolerance, etc. but I draw the line at the extremists who use religion to
crash planes into buildings so they can meet Allah and
72 black-eyed virgins. The old “your right to swing a fist ends at my nose” saying. If you love your religion, great. If you love being an atheist, great, but don’t try to push it on me.

And if they don’t like the Christmas celebration they can
do their own thing and let us alone. We are a pluralistic
country and the freedom to believe, or not believe, is within each of us.
