Atheists are often quite intolerant…

Replace the sign? Really?


That sign could have been cleaned in 2-3 minutes with a rag and a little white naphtha (lighter fluid or “Goof-Off”) or at worst a little MEK.


Now I DO think the atheists did it…

“tolerance for all people” unless you happen to believe in a God

AUSLO probably did it themselves for publicity.

Defacing a sign touting the good works of Atheist United? Seems somewhat sacrilegious ….

BS ALERT!


Sure you do Mr. Arkowitz. Just like the whole gay marriage mess. All they wanted was equal rights to marry. They weren’t out to destroy those who believe in the absolute Word of our living God. How has that worked out?


Liar.

Jesus had plenty to say about HYPOCRITES. They’re the devil’s brood.


Not so much about unbelievers. They’re the ‘lost sheep’.

Maybe a prayer is in order. They may not believe in God, but God believes in them!

I don’t understand motivations for vandalism, but I also have a hard time understanding why atheists unite. I don’t believe in the Tooth fairy, but don’t feel the need to form a club with that as its theme.

Not like forming a club that believes in a supreme being who created man in his image and gave advice through inscribing commandments in stone tables. Nothing like that right.

The difference is being for something vs being against something.


How about an anti gay club or anti transgender, anti black group? Atheists are against Christianity. There is nothing they stand for. That is the difference.
