I think most if not all of the posts’ on this site are showing just how concientious atheitst’s are about their own existence. I.E. Responsibility as humans to be extremely aware of our failing’s, so much so that even the details/semantics of a billboard message are thought over and over and over and over. Just remember….The fanatic or even “casual” religious individual has their message/messages engrained in every single thing you and I do everyday. Fighting back with the intent to eventually get the Aetheist message on an equal standing is the only way on finding and creating true morality and a higher quality of life in this world. If you don’t believe or see that, you are truly underestimating the importance of your own existence just as the religious would like it. Remember….”we” already get it. They don’t…So a message like…”You don’t need God to be a good person”..really hits home to those some of the idiots. I am an oil painter and would agree that the billboard is not attractive…I am just thrilled that there is one…but is there only one and where will it be? Ridiculous that we are working at such a small level of communication with the masses in this day in age. I will be more than happy to donate and subscribe to the effort. I just logged on and will read further to try and get more details..I really hope and wish all atheists’ and even agnostics would start fighting back against the absurdity that realists have to live with everyday. It makes me sick to live sometimes. (Ava Worthington case on court tv as I write)

Hemant, Thank you for posting the billboard picture and the story. I must say I am surprised and disappointed that many of your readers chose to criticize the language or graphics of this billboard, rather than applaud its effort and message.

Are the colors loud? Yes to attract the attention of the traffic and the news media. Is the message simple? Yes, to attract those that agree with the message, or may be on the fence about “God”.

IE- the use of the word GOD-This billboard is not meant to attract the approval of those that are already solid agnostic/atheists. It is meant to bring more people who question God’s existence in to learn more about what FLASH has to offer.

If the word “GODLESS” was used, it would throw the whole idea of our campaign into the negative and trying to turn people off category. That is not the point of the message.

Please give us your support instead of nitpicking. Thank you all for your opinions, especially those with positive comments.
