"Imagine no religion."

Seems to me that's a pretty open-ended hypothetical that could allow the mind to go a variety of different ways. The fact that Athiests put it up shouldn't enter into the argument. Think of it more as a message challenging you to explore possibilities outside of what you may have been taught is the right thing. Billy, you're getting as hyper-sensitive as the Muslims these days. I saw billboards all the time with questions like "Where are you going?" and signed by God. As a non-Christian, they don't bother me. I'm not so narrow-minded as to believe everyone should think exactly like I do.

And after typing all that, I realize there is no point in entering into discussions with Billy. Ah well. I'll hit post reply anyway. See where it goes.

3 words and a picture of the World Trade Center. Thats how.

Not very open ended unless you're into cognitive dissonance.

I would like to see how all the assholes would react if there was a sign that "imagine no hatred for life" and there was a picture of Darwin. Would that offend you?
