Title: ‘Atheists’ sign under siege
Post by: joeactor on May 20, 2010, 08:11:39 PM
Nope, it's not what you think...

Just an "Adopt-a-Highway" sign by Atheists United.
(one I see myself from time to time)

Apparently even that is too much for some to bear:

Breaking the law in God's name?

How incredibly petty.  The funniest part of it all being that all those vandals are doing is drawing attention to the atheist group.  The atheist group is doing a good deed - cleaning up trash on the highway - while the vandalizing theists just end up looking like childish jerk wads.

I would be very keen to see how an Atheist sign would be treated in my native Scotland.
