It's not free; they paid for it.

They did pay for the ads, however the buzz - the post here, for example - is what I meant by "free promotion".

If I wasn't clear, I apologize.

They have just as much a right to buy ads as you do.

I'm an atheist.

Gay is the New Atheist and Atheists Want God Out of Kentucky Homeland Security may make it clear.

I ended one of the posts with:

If he's right, I'm burning in hell. If I'm right, we're both worm food.

Although the atheistic humanists falsely deny God’s existence,they can not tolerate the existence of those of us who do. We offend them by the very fact that we believe in a Supreme Being and a divinely-revealed moral code that rebukes their unbelief. Hence,the hate campaigns against believers, especially those of us who believe in Jesus Christ.

Understood. No apology necessary.

I don't identify with these particular atheists, because I didn't leave my faith (Christianity, more specifically a confirmed Methodist) just so I could join some other collective group.

In part it was a rejection of collectivism.

Wait??? 200 people complained and the ad is still there?????
It only takes one person to complain about a positive reference to God and it’ll be gone before it’s even up!

They believe that merely not killing, raping, or stealing is being good for goodness sakes.

The Democrats continue to get more and more brazen in their promotion of atheism.

The narcissist who made the ad would use no other image than himself.

The only problem I have with the billboard is that is doesn’t make sense. You believe in God or you don’t. Theists are not compelled to strive for the moral life only because of fear of hellfire, despite what narcissistic anti-theists might think.
