Late Night Thoughts…or Early Morning…

Yes, my knee is straight:

Why do sleepy heads forget stuff? The molecule that is affected is isolated.

Yoga in a political commercial?

Politics Rep. Grayson takes on legislation aimed at ACORN:

In other words, you can’t pass legislation aimed to punish a specific organization; this power should be held by the judicial branch.

Atheist Billboard in Chicago

Ok, pretty run-of-the-mill, right? This is no more pushy…in fact, far LESS pushy than billboards which advertise churches right? After all, it is ok to let others know that they are not alone, right?

Well, some are NOT ok with it.

But apparently, that’s not how everyone sees it…

I wonder why a group of self-proclaimed atheists would feel the need to push their point of view onto others? Is this not one of the fundamental problems with established religion? How is your organization furthering the atheist agenda? Let’s face it, you’re just trying to incite anger. Why don’t you do us all a favor and keep your non-beliefs to yourself, just as I would like established religion to keep to themselves.

If we wanted to incite anger, there’s a whole slew of other slogans we could have used. This one was the least offensive out there.

There seems to be three words left off. The billboard should read: “Are you good without God? Millions are — until the judgment.

WTF?

By the way, I see nothing wrong with churches putting up billboards.

But if people WANT to be offended:

victor-stenger-bus-science-flies-you-to-the-moon-religion-flies-you-into-buildings

(note: this is photoshop and NOT a real sign. But THAT is what a provocative sign looks like).

Speaking of religion, which one (if any) should you join?

  1. Those who “believe” usually see any belief contrary to their own as “non-believers”. A huge pitfall. Unfortunately many who do not “believe” (many, not all) feel their individuality or innate intelligence gives them license to ridicule “believers”. I see these divisions as inevitable as any Us vs. Them situation such as religion or the current political turmoil. Many separate their associations with others as either with me or against me … any other affiliation just isn’t worthy. Maybe some day we, as a society and individually, will be secure enough in ourselves to build something with stones instead of throwing them at each other.

  2. Here is the deal: right now, in the US, if you are a non-believer and you don’t, say, work in science, then you are isolated. This sign is a way of saying: “hey, you aren’t alone”.

    And I am sorry: I don’t see any virtue in believing something that there is no evidence for. Sure, if this were kept private, that would be one thing. But in this country, the population as a whole elects people who use superstition as a basis for making public policy and I will ALWAYS speak out against that.
