Atheist group spreads word on billboards : Local News : The Rocky Mountain News

I personally espise the annual anti Christmas barrages we've been fighting over the past few years. Bill O'Reilly has addressed it in a book as has John Gibson also of Fox news fame along with Michelle Malkin who's on top of every issue facing Christians and Conservatives.

This year is starting out no different as London buses are carrying anti Christmas messages which unfortunately is their right as it's also our right to call them whining spoil sports or just plain old a holes for those of us who don't mince words.

This has been floating around for a while but I kinda missed it yesterday until late in the evening while being far too focused on the election aftermath, mostly traveling around the internet battling the boastful and annoying Obamanites at every opportunity, still debunking Obama 's lies out there while keeping the truth alive that the MSM neglected to share with the American people who stay off the internet.

I have to do that elsewhere since their hyperbole and rancid rants are banned from this blog due to 8 years of out of control BDS driven President Bush bashing.


Atheist group spreads word on billboards :

The Rocky Mountain News: "Here's an unusual sign that the holidays are coming: just in time for Christmas, a group of atheists and freethinkers plans to sponsor 11 billboards in Colorado.

Against a blue sky backdrop, the billboards pose the question: 'Don't believe in God? - You are not alone.'

COCORE, an umbrella organization of 11 groups ranging from the Boulder Heretics to the Humanists of Colorado, is spending $5,000 to post its message at 10 sites in Denver and one in Colorado Springs, for four weeks starting around Nov. 17.

The group wanted to put up signs in Fort Collins and Greeley, but a billboard company refused to carry the message.

While similar billboards have gone up in places like Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Kansas City, Mo., these are a first in Colorado, said Marvin Straub, a spokesman for COCORE.

Straub said the one sign in Colorado Springs was not meant to tweak religious groups in that area.

'Absolutely not,' Straub said Tuesday, noting that there is a freethinkers chapter in Colorado Springs.

He said the primary goal of the campaign is to reach the population who say they are not religious.

A spokesman for Focus on the Family Institute in Colorado Springs said his organization has no problem with another group exercising its free speech rights"

Here's the across the pond version of the Anti Christian movement's ad campaign there....


London buses to carry atheist ads :

: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: World: "LONDON — London buses have God on their side — but not for long, if atheists have their way.

The sides of some of London’s red buses will soon carry ads asserting there is ‘‘probably no God,’’ as nonbelievers fight what they say is the preferential treatment given to religion in British society.

Organizers of a campaign to raise funds for the ads said Wednesday they received more than $113,000 in donations, almost seven times their target, in the hours since they launched the project on a charity Web site. Supporters include Oxford University biologist Richard Dawkins, who donated $9,000.

The money will be used to place posters on 30 buses carrying the slogan ‘‘There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.’’ The plan was to run the ads for four weeks starting in January, but so much money has been raised that the project may be expanded.

.......skip ahead......

‘‘I thought it would be a really positive thing to counter that by putting forward a much happier and more upbeat advert, saying ’Don’t worry, you’re not going to hell,’’’ said Sherine, 28. ‘‘Atheists believe this is the only life we have, and we should enjoy it.’ continued


Well to be fair London was also allowing the running of some ads in August on their buses from the other direction that upset guess who? The very atheists running the anti Christmas deal, so I guess one could say turnabout's fair play in this case.

Maybe the Christian groups responsible for these ads might consider running them in December next year to counter the anti Christmas movement.....
