THE NORTHEAST OHIO COALITION OF REASON (NEO CoR)

NEO CoR, the Northeast Ohio Coalition of Reason, is a joint effort to help you connect to local freethought and humanist groups near you; to provide you with information and a sense of community; to give you a way to combine your voice with others who are ready to move society forward.

While all of these groups share common ground, each has its own particular emphasis and atmosphere. Some are focused on scientific inquiry and education. Others are focused on ethics and community. All are committed to promoting wider acceptance of a more rational and contemporary view of humanity and the universe we live in.

We hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy some of the organizations, events and activities you can link to through this website. But even if you never join a group or attend a meeting you can help our region move forward by contributing to local or national participating organizations. And you can always help the cause just by standing up proudly for your reality-based worldview among your friends and family.

This was the best report on the signs I've seen. The rest have reporters asking ignorant people whether they find it offensive, and hardly talk to anyone from the group that actually put up the sign!

@flyingsharkgirls

Yes, that area had a good response.

Can someone please help me with the following question?

Why would an all powerfull, supernatural being be afraid of a little sign along some road in Jerkwater USA? LOL

[rs199208]

@nosajj12345

It gives Satan more power to temp believers into thinking.

Thank you for posting this, rs199208! I thought the reporter did a really good job of presenting the NEO CoR campaign as a positive thing, which it is.

@sponyak

Mark, I hope you guys can post another one someday.

So the sign in Cinncinnati got taken down because it too "contraversial?" That's bull. If a sign promoting a Christian discussion was up, no one would say a fucking thing! And Christians think they're the ones being persecuted?! Bullshit!

Death to Religion!

if i was religious i would use this sign with the exact wording to recruit people that have 'strayed from the path'

Now, if you're driving the highway (especially in the Bible Belt) and see 50 billboards every hundred miles or so advertising churches or ranting against abortion, nobody seems to care. Doesn't make the news. Put up ONE billboard (well, two if you count the one in Cincinatti that was taken down) along a highway in Ohio and not only does it make the news (and I thought the pastor was quite open-minded, btw), but the commentator lady at the end has to throw a little curve ball at it herself!

The only time in my life that I've felt pride for my home state is right now. =D

This is by far the most professional report on these signs I have seen yet.

I also must hand it to the minister, he seems like a level headed, and intelligent person as well.

@Ital21 "You're telling me there's a group of people opposed to social progress and goodness??"

The story of my life! I still have religious family members.
