TrophyHusband 0 #6 January 15, 2008 why do you let a billboard bother you? one great thing about being an atheist (at least for me) in not really giving a fuck what other people believe. by your logic, you must aslo feel that hooters, lotto, hotels, and the local hospital are also being shoved down your throat. life is a lot better if you just let things like this go.

Andy_Copland 0 #18 January 15, 2008 Im not a smoker and im not keen on them hard hitting anti smoking signs either. I hate scare mongering. Well at least their is evidence behind smoking and illness so its easier to live with seeing those signs.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

TrophyHusband 0 #20 January 15, 2008 Quote Not as personal as being threatened to enjoying bad tea in the devils lap for eternity if you don't believe in it, it shouldn't be any more threatening than if it said you were getting kicked out of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. if you do believe in it, then its not being shoved down your throat, you've already swallowed it. its also possible that this is bothering you so much because you've come to a crossroad in your own spirituallity. maybe deep down you really aren't sure what your true beliefs are. it took me a few years of soulsearching to come to terms with what my true beliefs are.

livendive 8 #25 January 15, 2008 They're just using their income to try and generate more income. I consider those ads about as compelling as the ambulance-chaser legal advice ads. On a related note - Am I correct that in the US, churches are exempt from paying taxes on their profits? If so, can anyone explain why this is and should be the case?
