6. I thought it was the correct spelling and entonation of his name that caused people to die...
... and being damned for eternity.

Or was that among the many of his positions he changed once he had his kid?

3. I hope that the Satan Worshippers hire a bus
It could simply say "Satan is waiting for you" and follow the other two buses.

4. The atheists bus just says you can be good even if you don't believe
in God. So, how could anyone object to that statement? It's either true or it isn't. I think it puts a lot of pressure on atheists to behave themselves. Notice that the Christian bus does not claim "But Christians are better." I don't understand why anyone would think that the "God loves you" sign is a response to the Atheists are good sign.

I'm not an atheist, but the response by the Christians looks pretty stupid to me.

16. the word god applies to all
Besides that, Muslims and Jews are not the overbearing force in our day to day American lives.

17. Riiight. So it's overbearing Christians that threaten violence to South Park, or the burning of
what amounts to paper books. Besides that, so because of a small group of overbearing Christians, ads against Christmas are justified. But ads against Ramadan, etc, are not. Even though there's the same small overbearing groups?

Btw, how are Islam, and Judaism different than Christianity in terms of gay rights, women's rights, etc? In terms of overbearingness.

20. I can't speak for Muslims, but most Jews I know...
...are pretty tolerant of gay and women's rights, unlike most Christians I know.

I think it goes with maturity. The longer a religion is around, the more watered down and secularized it gets. That's why Buddhism tends to be quite liberal and tolerant, Judaism for the most part is quite liberal (except for the Orthodox minority in Israel), Christianity is becoming more liberal as time goes on, and Islam (which is 500 years newer) still has a ways to go.

23. That would make as much sense as "Dieu doesn't exist" or "Gott doesn't exist". POP QUIZ:
When a person who is a Christian and speaks only Arabic says "God", what word does s/he actually say?

15. Why should they?
they're not ads against god in the first place. In the second place...christians, hebrews and muslims all worship the same god, the god of abraham. Which means that the bus ads cover the "big 3" quite nicely.

29. because christainty is a much greater threat to our freedom .
Unfortunately our leaders lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up to those who believe the christian mythology.

Christians are trying desperately to move us back into the dark ages. They promote ignorance, hatred and bigotry.
Make no mistake, if we don't stop the spread of this vile disease Leviticus will replace the Constitution and Genesis will replace science..

12. You're Lying!

18. From Mr. Seeger
(I have met Pete a couple of times, and crewed on the Clearwater. He is one of the greatest patriots of the 20th century)

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me.

We will pray with Aphrodite,
We will pray with Aphrodite,
She wears that see-through nightie,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with Zarathustra,
We'll pray just like we use ta,
I'm a Zarathustra booster,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those Egyptians,
Build pyramids to put our crypts in,
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those old druids,
They drink fermented fluids,
Waltzing naked though the woo-ids,
And it's good enough for me.

We do dances to bring water,
Prepare animals for slaughter,
Sacrifice our sons and daughters,
And it's good enough for me.

I'll arise at early morning,
When my Lord gives me the warning,
That the solar age is dawning,
And it's good enough for me

13. I think police should be notified that a privately-owned vehicle is following city buses
around town.

It could be terrorists planning another attack.

Where is the TSA? Isn't a city bus a transportation method and as such, shouldn't it be protected?

With the right's history of violent attacks and murders, crap like this can not be tolerated because of the danger it makes possible.

Just imagine an atheist message-adorned truck following church buses around. Do you think that would be allowed?

14. Seems like a waste of gas.
Is this why all those oil rigs are in the gulf and why our troops are dying in the middle east? So Christans can do this shit? Does the Christian truck offer rides?

30. Good gawd!
Are Christians *really* this thin-skinned! Ya gotta love the way Texans respond to this kind of stuff. I'll bet thousands of people, of all religions and no religion, looked at this bus and didn't give it a second thought. But one lady says it's an insult to Christianity, and she's the one given face time. Blah! I'm with other, why didn't this group pool their money and buy food and essentials for the homeless?
