HAHAHAHAHA!!! Quoting Ben Franklin, president of the Hellfire Club.
Another example of why Christians cannot understand the hypocrisy of their
positions: they can’t shut their mouths for one minute to listen to another
point of view. These people are doomed to be ignorant. The best way to
combat religion is not to argue reasonably with the adults, rather, it is
to prevent the indoctrination of children.
I am sorry but it is a symbol of hate, because it suggests that those who
don’t want to fallow such mythology will be burned in a made up place
called hell.
It is such an insult to say we are born broken or sinful.
I don’t mind if you’re an atheist, but please don’t make fun of other
religions
It is a sign of hate because it tells people that they are bad from birth,
and that they deserve hell if only they don’t believe in one of the
hundreds gods out there, especially knowing that belief or thoughts
are involuntarily. It tells us the most immoral message that people should
be punished for so-called sins of their parents or descendants like Adam
and Eve, and even worse – that they should be punished with infinite
suffering, violence against them for finite crimes. But even worse, much
worse as if it couldn’t get any worse. Those who have done the worst
possible crimes here on Earth can be happy in Heaven if only they truly
accept Jesus and are forgiven for all their crimes and sins. What a truly
hateful sign that sends the most immoral message of all time.
You either take it down and don’t display any religious hate signs on
public (everybody’s) property or let atheists and any other groups to
display their signs. Government should not take sides when it comes to
religion. Bottom line.
Funny thing is they don’t know there history. The US dollars didn’t have in
“god” we trust until the 1950s. Also Mr. Franklin said lighthouses are more
helpful than churches. I think he also wrote his own version of the
“bible”. Almost all the founding fathers talk smack about religion.
Religious people don’t know anything about their religion or their fantasy
book & get mad after a non religious person shows them the hard evidence.

you kill yourself! – Bill Maher
wow thats lame, dan barker was acting cool as a cucumber and then the host
throws a hissyfit the moment he hears something negative about his precious
jeebus…
Barker should have said straight up that the scene was illegal. Would’ve
saved a lot of time.
america is just sick
It’s sad that Barker doesn’t like people quoting statements from his books.
Silly man.
Got kicked out for out smarting the Christian news reporter.
Barker should be ashamed of himself for making such rude comments like
that.Eric did the right thing to cut him off like that. Barker is one
confused soul anyways.
I’m afraid of Americans
I trust that the host of this show has had his contract terminated.
it is funny to see, watch a atheist outdo a christian
are christians this weak when they are the majority.
thank god iam an atheist
I agree with Dan Barker. And yes, it was a TV show run by a group of
people who obviously don’t share his opinion. Dan was treading in hostile
territory. Emotions run high on the religious side. Dan’s comments are
sure to set off Christians. They are defending a belief, not fact based
evidence and reality. Emotions are all that they’re left with. I still
wanted to see an intellectual exchange. I’m always hoping for some new
information. But they edited him, and then ultimately cut him off. In my
experience, the ones who use force to shut someone up, are usually wrong.
The reason that people on TV resort to force is either 1 of 2 things.
Because they know they will lose the argument. Or they don’t want their
constituents to hear the truth. Once they have eliminated the threat, they
then cover everything up with 10 minutes of solid propaganda from their
side. They’ve won nothing on this TV show other than to show their true
colors. The enemy of reason.
I suppose if they wish to honor history of handling Christian symbolism in
the South they can rekindle the tradition of burning crosses in minorities’
front lawns as well…
Dan was well informed about the details of the case while the loud mouth,
insecure host had to cut him off before Dan plows through his failed
argument any further.
If government is giving a group of people rights to perform their
“religious” writ, then it goes against the constitution that these radical
Reich wingers so readily enamor over.
The “in god we trust” on the money is of course also illegal and another
example of Christians attempting to stomp over everyone else using the
threat of violence from the government. They should be ashamed.
