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.
Well isn’t that special?
And a python named Monty around children? No thanks.
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.
One way for atheists to foster understanding would be for them to stop demanding that every cross on public property be torn down.
or
Would you rather go through life not believing in God and finding out at the end that you were wrong?
Put me into the first camp.
From the article: “Love plus critical thinking equals open minds.”
That’s a typical and not-so-subtle atheist assertion that you’re, well, just SMARTER than believers.
Also from the article: you’ve got books by “Plato, Kafka and Tolstoy” on your shelves. But guess what? THEY WERE BELIEVERS. All of them.
I guarantee you’re not smarter than those guys. And while we’re at it, you’re also not smarter than Einstein, Newton, and Shakespeare — believers all.
So that argument is demolished. What else have you got, geniuses?
See, this is why folks that believe in God get pissed at agnostics and atheists.
“Faith without reason is true blindness.”
The presumption by agnostics and atheists that my faith isn’t based on reason and evidence - I reject their premise. Just because I can’t convince an atheist or agnostic that my reasons are valid, does not inherently mean they are not valid reasons. It may just mean the atheist/agnostic deliberately refuses to see them as reasonable, or is not convinced they are, or is not equipped to determine that my beliefs are based in reason. The atheists/agnostics own subjective personal biases may prevent them from saying they are reasonable, as what is “reasonable” varies from person to person.
The bible is full of history and time after time has been proven correct - from archaeology and history. There’s no evidence for this king, then something is discovered that confirms the bible is true.
The chickens of the Radical Reformation come home to roost.
woop dee doo
Who gives a rip
Most of the private school kids my kid attends school with are equally as “cool”
They can all party in the hereafter
Together
Reminds me to pray for them every time I see one.

They put a reality TV show on about Muslims. Will they have one about jolly normal happy non-bigoted atheists next? Atheist proselytizing is so ugly.
Yeah, they're such heroes.......
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.
Victim mentality raises its ugly head yet again.
Ask me if I care.
