How do you combat ignorance?
Well, if you can't beat 'em, Join 'em!
Just like the folks at Comic-Con did when the lovely people from Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest at their convention. Yes, you read that right. Fred Phelp's band of inbred hicks travelled to a Comics convention, to spew their bile and hatred (oops, I meant to say "their christian message of love" So hard to tell them apart...)
Here is the result;

Honestly, take a look and click on the photos to zoom in and read the signs that the folks at Comics con made for the occasion.
Oh and note that the Westboro delegation is about 6 sad individuals over on the left.
Update:Jc,
You want to "end atheism"?
Sorry man, that's impossible. With better education and higher aggregate IQ's, more and more people are starting to understand that your god, like every other god in history, is nothing more than a fairy tale character.
Sorry to break the bad news to you fella...

I hope that where ever these idiots appear, sane people will copy the people at Comic-Con. Did you see the YouTube videos of Michael Moore and his "Gay Bus" turning up to picket the Westboro loonies? There is also a very funny and interesting video on YouTube of Louis Theroux when he made a documentary of the Westboro Loons.
I'm not sure. I wonder that every time you talk about how being an atheist is the end all, be all. Maybe one day we'll figure out a way to end ignorance, but if you really are a Mountie, I'm not holding out hope for you. A friend once told me that he didn't become a racist until he became a Mountie, so your attitude towards anyone that believes in an idea of God is much more understandable now.
By exploiting it. Ignorance is a tremendous weapon to effect change.
The only way the masses are ever elevated is when they feel the oppressors boot on their necks.
Since the dawn of time this has been the secret weapon of those that seek to effect the raising of the human condition but lack the means of an army.
Let the oppressor do your work for you and merely point out the injustice in the crowd, the tavern, the Universities.
I don't know.
I have been asking people questions to try to get them thinking for over a year now but the just blurt out the same old worn out rubbish they learned parrot fashion in church but will not open their minds to scripture or logic .
LMBO!!! This is hilarious! Love the pix!!! My favorite is the robot "Kill All Humans" And "Support Fiction Read the Bible!" LOL!!!!
Ooh I love Canadian men. Atheists are hot. Are you a mountee? Let's put the three together and....
....oh, my! Pardon me I think I need to sit down, I can barely stand at all!
Regardless of who it is whether an Atheists or Christian, etc. Leave them alone.
If you argue with a stupid person, they will drag you down and beat you with experience.
To answer your bold question- end atheism.
Now- about the pictures- that is absolutely apalling and they are not a representation of ALL christians. Maybe someone provoked this idiocy and maybe not but it is outlandishly cruel. I think, for once, we can both agree that there are rotten eggs in both groups. God Bless
All glory to the Hypno-toad !
Usually by ignoring posts like this one.' Do not cast your pearls before swine" then i bow out.God bless
Just turn the cheek. It works for them, so just turn your cheeks.
