Could the rally in D.C. be the beginning of the end for organized religion?
Who will save us?
Eyes on the road dumbass.
REALLY, People. REALLY? Its a freaking BILLBOARD. Not the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
In cities all over the country, this billboard stands proudly among a myriad of other tacky advertizing monoliths. But what makes it special is the content. 'Celebrate living without GOD!'. Four words that have people screaming the END OF DAYS. Get a clue, dumb asses.
Why is okay for religious organizations to post homemade signs on nearly every stretch of road spewing the message that, " God SAVES"? Why is acceptable for churches and their congregations to establish bright, glowing 20ft. crosses in their front yards & in major cities? Why do I have to quietly accept the religious wing-nuts that put GOD SAVES pamphlets in my mailbox?
Oh that's right....a little thing called freedom of religion. Or is it Freedom of Speech?
But in the great state of Virginia I only have a right to express my love of some invisible God but not my belief in Wicca, or my belief that there might not actually be a God. Ummmm. I blame Rick Santorium.
Once again my faith in our society is shaken. Ironic I should use the word faith, don't ya think?
Before you swing your heavy, finger of judgment at my fellow atheists - take a moment to look at their website for the Rally of Reason - and then ask yourself, is it so wrong that we merely want to express our beliefs in the same way you do, every time you go to church on Sunday? Or every time you plaster your car in Jesus Loves Me stickers. Or every time you unabashedly tell me you will pray for my soul?
The answer is no. It isn't wrong. It's about damn time.
For your educational viewing the real goals of this rally; notice devil-worshiping, human sacrifices and naked-dancing in the moonlight isn't one of them. Just sayin'.
We have three main goals:
- To encourage attendees (and those who can’t make it) to come out of the closet as secular Americans, or supporters of secular equality.
- To dispel stereotypes – there is no one “True Atheist”. We will have non-theists from all political persuasions, ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds. We will show that there are secular Americans in every American demographic.
- Legislative equality. Secular Americans can run for office and adequately represent theists, just as theists in office can represent their secular constituents proudly and openly. We deserve a seat at the table just like theists, and we hope this rally can put our values in the radar of American voters.
