God Is An Imaginary Friend billboard goes up

The Colorado Coalition of Reason or COCORE is behind a billboard that will sit on I-25 and Garden Of The Gods.

The billboard will read "God is an imaginary friend. Choose reality, it will be better for all of us," and will face north on the west side of the highway.

COCORE is made up of people who consider themselves agnostic or atheist.

They tell KKTV 11 News the point of the billboard is to encourage discussion between believers and non-believers.

They also say the billboard will let other non-believers know that they are not alone.

Groff Schroeder, the spokesman for COCORE says, often times non-believers have no idea how big their community really is and this billboard will bring them together.

"Even the U.S. government recognizes this being" LOL!

Well the woman who makes the argument it shouldn't be there because kids might see it - is she going to also extend that to all the signs that advocate religion?

I love my atheism, and I love supporting atheist movements... but COCORE? Guys...tell me it doesn't sound like "Coke Whore".

We'll see how imaginary God is when you die on that grease pole to hell.

Haha, according to the guy, appealing to authority makes God real. Not that the American government is the best authority to trust.

1776. This was the year that the United States declared it's independence. 1956. This is the year the words "In God we trust" were added to United States currency. For 180 years we saw no need for it. What changed? Did we see God as an imaginary friend from 1776 to 1956? And which God are they talking about? Why doesn't it say in Gods we trust? If it is a particular God, Is this not a violation of the constitution? In all, asking questions is the objective of these billboards.

ABOUT TIME  ! LETS PUT THEM UP NEXT TO EVERY DAMN CHURCH TOO !

Lady says "I don't want someone else deciding what my kids learn" "...it leads to kids questioning.." WOW so your kids should question absolutely nothing; what an awful way to raise children. What about church signs that have messages on them that non believers don't want their children seeing? If it makes people this uncomfortable to evaluate their belief systems, maybe they aren't worth believing in. Just a thought.

We need to start putting up "Atheists do nothing but lie" billboards.
