"He also says the nativity scene will come down “after Christmas, or when hell freezes over.” Right on Texas!
Seems to me that a banner that attacks religions is the height of intolerance. The atheists should shut up, they are already represented... with nothing.

Yup Snuff, East Texas is the most conservative part of a conservative state. You really just don't want to mess with us.
Update: Just heard on the news the atheist put the banner up. It stayed about 5 minutes before Sheriff Deputies took it down.

Hey, atheists have their own display anyway. I they want equal time, they believe in nothing so choose any empty spot on the street and that can represent their beliefs....Mel

So the alleged 17% of non-believers want to dictate what the rest of us do?

Hey Mel, make that an empty spot on the freeway. Then turn the truckers loose.

Another form of intolerance in a country that is supposed to be tolerant. And that goes for both sides. The christians intolerance of the banner is the same as their intolerance of the Muslims and Buddhists and total civilizations that they wiped out on the name of god. Why in the hell can't everyone just not give a shit what other people are doing or believing in. Intolerance in any way shape or form just sucks. Jim

I think atheists should have to serve in the military, I've heard there are no atheists in foxholes...
Have you heard the one about the dyslexic agnostic who lies awake at night wondering if there is a Dog?

Ummmm, yeah, civilizations. Like the crusades? They're a favorite. Yep those evil christians wiping out those peaceful muslims who had so peacefully moved into Spain and France with their armies. It was mostly a defensive military campaign against an invader. The excesses that occurred in later crusades and inquisitions are in no way defendable, but the total loss of life numbered in the hundreds. The French Revolution. Those millions of Christians violently throwing themselves on the guillotines, how insensitive. The third Reich. Done in the name of God or a religion?? give me a break, hitler may have perverted a few Hindu symbols and the the concept of Aryan, but his national Socialism was patterned after that of Marx and Lenin. Stalin. Millions butchered and enslaved in the name of Atheism.
And all the beautiful humanitarian efforts of the Athiests. Been in an Athiest hospital lately? Recieved an Athiest food basket? Athiest missions for disaster relief?
Can you just imagine it? That poor Christian at the end of his life finding out theres no God and instead of giving his life to others he could have just said screw you all, it's all about me. I'm sure that would be upsetting.
