"Are religionists so thin-skinned they must squelch free debate? One small freethought billboard in the immense state of California is such a threat to insecure religious egos that it must be censored?

I support freedom of religion and all, but I don't see any billboards advertising other religions. So...I guess it's only fair?

Sorry but you are wrong. Christians may partake in it because I know some who do. (Not myself but some of my friends) But they are not activaly partaking in everything that the Bible says is wrong. This is the common argument that athiests use.. but Christians are not perfect. Ya, we make mistakes just like everyone else but we are making a consious effort not to. Actual Christians try to adhere to the Bible.. and most actually do.

"In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the prosperous democracies"[1]

"No democracy is known to have combined strong religiosity and popular denial of evolution with high rates of societal health. Higher rates of non-theism and acceptance of human evolution usually correlate with lower rates of dysfunction, and the least theistic nations are usually the least dysfunctional. None of the strongly secularized, pro-evolution democracies is experiencing high levels of measurable dysfunction"[2]

"There is evidence that within the U.S. strong disparities in religious belief versus acceptance of evolution are correlated with similarly varying rates of societal dysfunction, the strongly theistic, anti-evolution south and mid-west having markedly worse homicide, mortality, STD, youth pregnancy, marital and related problems than the northeast where societal conditions, secularization, and acceptance of evolution approach European norms (Aral and Holmes; Beeghley, Doyle, 2002)"[3]

Im not judgemental, I just dont like how people claim to live their life for God and then break his rules every single day. Im not saying people are perfect, expecially not Christians, but if they are making no effort to live by the rules of a religion, how can they claim they are?

when was the last time you stoned your kid for disobeying his mother? or when was the last time you forced a rape victim to marry her assaulter? or have you ever worn mixed fabrics? worked on the sabbath? when was the last time you burnt down an entire city because everyone in it liked to have butt sex? the bible is full of a shit-load of absurd as shit, crazy stupid f*cking laws and rules that no one in the world could or would follow. the bible says a lot more about killing your neighbor for blaspheming against god than it does about not saying "f*ck," so shut the f*ck up!


p.s. if you don't think religion hasn't changed (in order to conform to society)... oh my are you more ignorant than i thought, ahhahhah! READ A f*ckING BOOK!
