Annoying advertising?

[DBK]

From today's Sydney Morning Herald: Churches put their faith in advertising Jesus (http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/churches-put-their-faith-in-advertising-jesus-20090909-fhmy.html?comments=53#comments)

It puts me in a "civil disobedience" mood. I feel some graffiti coming on. :cool:

perhaps the Irreverent Mr Black has some posters that could be printed out and posted so as to inform people and give a more balanced view on the subject. ;)

"nearly half of all parents registered antagonism to the faith and said they would not give their children an understanding of Christianity."

woo hoo, lets just hope they stick to their guns during the campaign of lies.

"The research also showed that the global financial crisis could present an opportunity for churches to reconnect with people as they reviewed their family values and finances."

once again, they are moving in on the vulnerable and weak, while their chips are down. scum bags

Mr Black, I never intended on defacing public property- too much! Just thought about putting stickers/ advertising material advertising logic and rationalism just outside the churches!

Or maybe a sandwichboard: "The end of the world is nigh!" style.

BLATANT SITE PROMOTION

You could just counter by spreading the badges on my site. ;) The whole concept of my site is to advertise atheism. http://www.secularswarm.com

I think advertising your beliefs is a great idea, and I think the internet is one of the best means to do that.

On the other hand, when a christian kills an abortion doctor, LINK (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31029377/) -It's an act of g-d. I know people in that town, and not one christian seemed to have any sympathy for the doctor. Freakin double standards are a fact of life right now, but never sink to their level. There's still a chance that reason could prevail in the end, but only if we stay civil.

The Goat has a point. In fact there are hefty fines (depending on the place) and possible imprisonment for doing such things. Also note that some places have "NO BANNERS" or "NO POSTERS" or "BILL POSTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED" things - and I would always assume that they really mean it. If some Christian puts something in such areas report the bastard - and if there is a poster take a picture and report that to the local police - without using the 000 number - otherwise you may get a charge for misuse of an emergency phone line.

Just remember something - as stupid as a religious bastard is - we must prove ourselves smarter than them.

BTW I have seen many Jesus - All About Life posters and I think we ouhgtta place some Jesus - All About Lies posters not far from them.

I wasn't actually suggesting vandalism. I meant in an area where you are allowed to post things - post them.

These sort of things are usually handled by local councils (far too trivial a matter for police) - best to contact them.
