If atheists have any guts, let's see them put up an atheistic

will have the guts to dispose of it--and them.

Why is it about 'guts' and not rights granted to every citizen under
the US Constitution? Do we need courage in the face of physical
threats in order to exercise our rights? And if you do have to worry
about death threats when you express yourself, is that really a
right? Maybe if a band of peaceful Christians beat the hell out of
an atheist putting up a display, the police shouldn't bother
arresting the guilty parties?

Maybe you need to move to Iran, or Saudi Arabia. You might be more
comfortable.

What bugs me about this last part is that Steven feels that Muslims
are more inclined to violence if their beliefs are questioned than
Christians (Not that the sign in question was questioning only
Christian beliefs, but that's the way he frames it). We know there
are crazies out there, but I doubt there are more Muslim than
Christian crazies.

Bull***.

That 90's style blame shifting and political correctness does not work anymore.

You know damn well the atheist would NOT attempt to put their sign on the lawn of a Mosque.

Nor would they put it next to a nativity scene at an all black church in an all black
neighbnorhood.

Why?

They are chickenshits.

Will you also claim i say Blacks are "inclined to violence" for simply pointing out the truth??

Place an atheist plaque at a Mosque or at an all black Church and lets find find out the truth.

See if the Musulems or blacks give a *** if you or *I* call them "inclined to violence".

They would beat your ass for placing such a desecration on one of their holy sites and you can
tell them Adman said so. And that i know they would be inclined to violence for such an act.

It is all about the truth with:

Wow addy- you're getting stupider all the time.

You'll note, as soon as you learn to read, that none of this
discussion is about putting up symbols on public property, not church
property and not mosque property. Steven L. started that idiot
strawman and you just swallowed it whole.

i think fundies think all public property is church property. these
dominionists think separation of church and state is wrong, so there
is no 'public' property.

I'm amazed with how quickly the religious right ignores the US
Constitution when it suits their purposes.

"Liberals hide behind the Constitution so they can burn the flag.
Conservatives hide behind the flag so they can burn the Constitution."

Don't ask me who said it first.

i've always thought of it as liberals practice freedom but dont
believe in defending it

conservatives believe in defending freedom but dont believe in
practicing it :-)

Do you know of a time our freedom was jeopardized, and liberals didn't
defend it?

Chris

I thought this was an exchange of jokes, hyperbole about each sides'
prejudices about the other. Otherwise I would have pointed out that
years go by before some American idiot burns an American flag in this
country, and that the sort of Americans who would do such a thing
would not be accurately called a liberal but a radical leftist.
