Overreact Much, Cincinnati Christians?

Apparently some folk are so insecure in their faith that the very mention that other people don't believe in their god sends them into violent conniptions.

A pro-atheism billboard in Cincinnati was being moved to a different location in response to alleged threats two days after it was put up, sponsors said.

So what was the message on the billboard that caused threats?


Note that this is not the exact billboard but the message was the same. Simply a note reminding non-believers that there are other non-believers. How utterly non-controversial. Surely everyone knows that there are people who don't believe in god.

Jack Jones of Downtown told the TV station he thinks the sign should not be put up.

"It's atheist," he said.

Apparently non-believers aren't entitled to the same rights of free speech as everyone else.

What is telling is that non-believers, who believe that human beings, each other, are all that we have, don't get all bent out of shape over the constant barrage of religious messages in our society (unless they're on public property) while those who believe they are supported by an omniscient, omnipotent god can't handle the least bit of disagreement.

If there is such a superguy watching over you, why would you ever have to get bent out of shape over such a thing? I know that if I REALLY BELIEVED that the creator and ultra-powerful overlord of the entire universe was my personal buddy, I really wouldn't worry about what other people think of me or him. But then, I'm rational.
