The atheist group behind the sign rightly pointed out the hypocrisy in the protestors, saying that they would like the community to show them the same tolerance they fought for during the civil rights era. “The women and blacks in this neighborhood, they’ve been discriminated before, in the recent past, as early as 30, 40 years ago,” a spokesman said “and yet, they have no problem discriminating against another group, whether it be gays or atheists.”
SHOOT: The answer to the question...well, you could try having faith in yourself, and trying to see reality for what it really is. I believe the bulk of the pain in our lives is based on following delusions that lead us to believe the world is better and worse than it really is. Life is difficult. But life is also what it is. You don't need to believe it. Just see it.

“It says ‘Do not believe in God.’ How are we going to make it? Look at our schools, everyday. Everyday there’s something going on. Kids are out here killing each other, kids are here using drugs. Who else are they going to believe in?”

Those "Christians", they're hypocrites, the lot of them. Fact is, in this instance, it's the Atheists who are trying to make a positive impact.

there is a point to faith, and hope and trusting in a community. Thanks Wogan. I'm just not sure that religion is the ONLY way to achieve this. Because it's achieved - unfortunately - but saying us vs you, and we're right/saved/enlightened and you're not. It's exclusivism, which doesn't help, in fact it fosters that whole feeling of isolation, of feeling left out, of being alone. God is a convenient solution, not a real one though.
Wow! I just read the greatest atheist manifesto ever written. Seriously. It's called the Real Messiah:
http://www.amazon.com/Real-Messiah-Throne-Origins-Christianity/dp/1906787123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246864135&sr=8-1
It's written by a Jewish writer who found proof in a number of ancient sources that Jesus never claimed to be the messiah. It was all made up by later Christians in Rome to distract from the truth that threatened to overtake the whole Empire.
You see there was this Jewish king named Marcus Julius Agrippa. He was the St. Mark who wrote the gospel. He wrote the gospel secretly to have Jesus announce HIM as the messiah. Then the Roman authorities caught wind of what was going on and then cut Agrippa out of the gospel.
Don't you see!!! It's all a big lie - even the biggest lie in history. Jesus never claimed to be what all these people now say he was. They have been fooled by a second century editorial effort that still goes undetected.
How is Huller so sure of this conspiracy? He found an ancient throne in Venice which Italian sailors stole from the most ancient Church of St. Mark in Alexandria in the ninth century. The author proves that the throne goes back much further than that - i.e. all the way to the beginning of Christianity in Egypt.
In any event the throne has Hebrew letters and symbols which prove the real story of Christianity and how the modern Church is one big fake.
The throne is real. Here are pictures of the throne:

You can look it up with Google. It's a real object. But now the game is up. Christianity is proved to be a big lie and the world will never be the same again.
It's so great to be on the winning side at last! I've got to tell everyone.
All I got to say is that you got to read this book. This is the straw that breaks the back of the Church.
