Godless Billboard Moved After Threats

CINCINNATI -- In the wake of multiple, significant threats, the downtown billboard that says Dont Believe In God? You are not alone came down early Thursday morning.

The billboard had gone up Tuesday afternoon at Reading Road and 12th Street, one block south of Liberty Street and it is being moved to a new site Thursday at the Sixth Street Viaduct.

[...] "Everything that has happened shows just how vital our message is," said Shawn Jeffers, co-coordinator for the Cincinnati Coalition of Reason (http://CinCoR.org). "It proves our point, that bigotry against people who don't believe in a god is still very real in America. Only when we atheists, agnostics and humanists come together and go public about our views will people have a chance to learn that we too are part of the community and deserve respect."

How nice of the peaceful, loving Christians to threaten a store owner with violence if he exercises his first amendments rights.

How Very Jesus-like.

only idiots have to resort to threats to prove an all merciful god exists.

It's frustrating how this crap makes you want to sink to their squalor of stupidity and bash an ignorant bubble thumping muppet face in.

I'm might be wrong and I know god isn't on my side but news flash you blind self denying monkies, his not on yours either (because he doesn't exist. I felt the need to spell it out because if you can't tell the difference from reality and make believe and you'd probably need me to)

Don't believe in God? You are not alone -- God is always with you anyway.

Can any theist explain to my how the message in this billboard can somehow be offensive? It's obvious an attempt to reach out to atheists who feel they're alone. Are theist offended by the mere existence of atheists?

@Tygahgah And religious people think that 2 individuals of every animal species would fit on one boat, a magical man lives up in the sky, the first humans must have had incest (because we wouldn't have been alive if that didn't happen), and that dinosaurs didn't exist. Total logic!

Also your comment is overloaded with prejudice. Atheïsts simple believe there is no such things as a deity. That's how their life is different from yours. Respect one another, as the Bible tells you. Thank you.

@Tygahgah OK, let me try to get this right... YOU, my friend, sound literally brainwashed. You have no idea why atheists, in general, disbelieve what they do. You seem to know only what the religious have told you.

@starzy49 I didn't actually mean to say that YOU were brainwashed, I meant to send that to Tygahgah. Funny thing is, my response actually seems appropriate to your post as well. I could probably pick a random comment off of this video and there's probably about a 50/50 chance that my reply would be appropriate.

@DSB33 Anyone who reads newspapers is being fed propaganda & lies mixed wth half truths as bait. Anyone who watches television & adverts is being hypnotized & desensitized. (TV is literally spoonfeeding opium to the gullible masses) Pop music is sung by illuminati controlled & financed puppets & hollywood movies are performed by puppets etc These are all mind control tools for the sheeple. Anyone who is aware of this becomes harder to trick & brainwash.

@starzy49 You sound quite literally brainwashed.

[Skoda130]

@Tygahgah I suggest you go back to the darkages, when religion dominated the world, and heretics were burnt, and science hardly existed, you fool. Al least you wouldn't be poisoning the comment sections on youtube then, you religious bigoted cunt!

@Tygahgah You got no clue what an athiest is!
