FOX: Atheist Billboard Stirs God Debate

November 24, 2009 on FOX 35 News - http://AtheistsofFlorida.org -

It is the Central Florida billboard condemned by Christians. Now it is pulling people into a big debate over God in Lakeland. Atheists invited people to join them, and Christians are pushing back firmly.

It was supposed to be a meeting for the Atheists of Florida to recruit more members, but it turned into a debate with Christians about whether or not God exists.

"When I realize there are some people who think that God does not exist, this is just unbelievable to me," said Dr. Byron George, a local pastor.

The Atheists of Florida hosted a forum at the Lakeland Public Library. Pastor Byron George told atheists to be open to a revelation. Ellen Bath Wachs says, "Christians are disrespectful when they cannot accept the belief of atheists, that there is no God."

@flushy2009 so you believe in god to be on the safe side, as well as call everyone else to do the same?....doesn´t that condemn you? do you also convert to islam on fridays, to get of from work and to be on the safe side? hey what if the jews are right maybe yóu should eat kosher to be on the safe side...what if the hindus are right- here´s what you should do: convert to every religion, to be on the safe side, or start to think!

Americans are fucking idiots. They say "were so free and just" and yet they think that the majority somehow have some rule over the minority. If the majority can create these stupid churches and signs of going to hell the atheists can make signs to say how fucking retarded that is. Religion is poison.

@BCollingwoodTV All agnostics are Atheists and all Apatheists are Atheists. If you do not beleive in God, you are an Atheist.

lol, recruit new members.

What really pisses me off about this is that had it been a Christian group sign attempting to attract new members, no one would have a problem with it. But because it is an ATHEIST billboard, all the christfags have to cause a fucking uproar about it. Don't get me wrong, I have a wide variety of friends with different faiths and I don't believe there is anything wrong with being Christian. It's just the select few ignorant fuckwits you see here that give everyone else a bad name.

"Atheist? You are not alone" I AM SO FUCKING OFFENDED BY THIS THAT I HAVE TO STICK MY COCK IN THE FACES OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOVE JESUS!

@AnotherAgnostic Agnosticism is the claim to not have knowledge of God. I have no knowledge that God exists or does not exist therefore, I am a agnostic. I do not believe that God exists like I do not believe fairies exist. I am therefore an atheist. I do agree that agnosticism is refered to as an middle ground in common parlance i.e. 'I'm not sure what I believe." That I can accept yet in the strictest definition it is incorrect.

[cockyjeremy]

@AnotherAgnostic Gotcha. I thought you meant can't be answered ever.
