Freddie Schineller is a hip-looking math professor with a salt-and-pepper goatee. His artist wife, Holly, has long blond hair and stays home to take care of their four kids, ages 8-12.
The middle-class family lives in a modest Tempe home full of lots of love, noise and pets, including two dogs and a python named Monty.
Their bookshelves hold works by Plato, Leo Tolstoy and Franz Kafka, as well as the Book of Mormon and a Bible.
But Holly and Freddie don't believe in G0d. And, earlier this year, they decided it was time to "come out of the closet" in a big way about who they are.
After a family meeting, the Schinellers volunteered to appear on a Phoenix-area billboard for a campaign by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national group that aims to boost social acceptance of atheists and spotlight the growing numbers of non-religious Americans.

Answer: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11:1)
Joe Hernandez of Phoenix calls himself a vegan, microbiologist and atheist.
Answer: So? I am a molecular biologist and a born-again Christian!
Will someone sponsor some "answer" billboards for me? LOL
Is it reasonable to conclude that the Universe created itself from nothingness for no reason? One of the researchers who cracked the Human Genome opined that conclusion was as rational as a hurricane blowing through a Junk Yard and leaving a fully functional Jumbo Jet in its place.
Just once, I’d like to see these atheists place a billboard near a Mosque or near a black church in the ‘hood.
Its tough to be and Atheist recruiter. No holidays, nothing to believe in and when you die, well, you die. No sale here.
Seeing those cute little kids in the picture reminds me of the old KKK pictures where you have a little boy, no more than 5 or 6, in a KKK robe. Both are disgusting.
Reason points unmistakably toward Deism. The roots of atheism are almost always moral not intellectual.
“who do you” should be “how do you”
Well isn’t that special?
And a python named Monty around children? No thanks.
Why are out-of-the-closet atheists so kneejerkedly anti-Christian? If the existence of G-d is beyond their frame of reference, why the fury over Nativity scenes?
“What do you call an atheist’s funeral?”
“All dressed up and no place to go!”
;^)
Not to mention no one to cry out to in the throes of passion. . .
Imagine. . . .you’re in bed, and at climax, your partner screams out “Oh Logic !! Oh Reason !! . . . .”
I don’t think so, either. . . . (grin)

As other posters have intimated, believing that life was initiated and then guided by the laws of chance alone is incomprehensible. Those odds are longer than being struck by lightning each day for several thousand years while winning the Powerball each week.
Atheists are sad souls and almost certainly not mathematicians or Program managers. People who actually design stuff understand full well all of the factors required for a successful system to exist.

Trouble with an open mind is your brains fall out.
You’re killing me here. LOL Way too funny. I liked the other post too.

One way for atheists to foster understanding would be for them to stop demanding that every cross on public property be torn down.
