(49,533 posts)When pressed for a specific example of this horrible atheist proselytization, you mentioned an ad on a bus.
An AD on an BUS.
For real?
There's an uncountable number of preachers on television every Sunday declaring that non-believers are going to hell. There are insane religious fundies with actual political power who are trying to restrict reproductive rights, oppress homosexuals, and institute biblical law for the rest of us to live under.
But a few atheists who pool their money to let other atheists know they're not alone in this world are the equivalent? REALLY?
You've made an absolute joke of what could have been a point. Instead, your OP is a classic example of that cartoon come to life, and I think on some certain level you realize that. That atheists posting negative opinions about religion on the Internet is NOT anything like those other things. But that bothers you, and to try and suppress those viewpoints (because they are expressly welcome in this forum - just check the statement of purpose, which states that ALL viewpoints on religion are welcome), you seek to attack and smear.
No better than the straw man atheists you are bashing, oddly enough.
