Bitter Atheist protests Texas police car message

Good grief. Don't these angry christians have anything better to do that whine about signing a marriage certificate?

If you don't think all Christians should be judged by the actions of westboro baptist church, you should take the same approach against a group of people who have even less in common in terms of beliefs.

Except the super-massive majority of Christians make clear westboro's errors and wrongness. Every time I see the freedom from religion foundation do something I never see any atheists rushing in chastising them.

It applies to all religions equally, doesn't it? Your constitution?

Guess all you have to do is label every worldview as a religion then. Oh but some don't include gods? Neither does Buddhism, yet the term 'non-theistic religion' seems easily applied to it. In fact, dictionary.com says religion is defined as:

"a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. "

Though it says 'especially' in there, it doesn't say 'exclusively'. So, basically any belief or set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and purpose of the universe.

That's not how it works. Who are you or any other angry atheist to tell these people what to put on their vehicles.

The asshole paying for the vehicles, that's who.

The attorney general ruled on it. Who do these atheists think they are to be above the law? So shameful. No wonder the rest of society doesn't take them seriously.

Who is "them"? There's no unified ideology behind atheism. There's no opinion or actions you can ascribe to them as a group other than not believing in a deity.

And I'm not American, but it sure seems like a lot of your court rulings on this stuff is decided by the personal beliefs of the officials behind the rulings.

On government issued vehicles such as police cars? The fucking seperation of church and state maybe?
