notch one up for common sense

I found this interesting....

Quote:
"On the surface, I'm all for free speech. ... However, though, these are attack ads," Dr. McVety, president of Canada Christian College in Toronto, said in an interview yesterday.
Is 'on the surface' an admission that it's all for 'show' with none of the conviction?

Couldn't it be said then religious ads are an 'attack' on reason?

Oh for F*cks sake. How is this any different or any worse than Christian ads and Christians donating money for causes that are are attacks on homosexuality, lifestyle and personal choice/beliefs.

Once again double standards and hypocrisy. Besides, it wasn't even a personal attack on a person's belief, it was merely stating truth. Where the hell is this irrefutable evidence that God exists?

If there is media promoting God then there should be media denouncing God.

Lastly there is nothing that pisses me off more than when a person says they have no problem with something yet end up having a rather large problem with it. Just stop lying and admit it.

That's one of the interesting things Cruel_Heartless, those that lack a belief are seen as attacking if they state why, or in any way want to have their opinions and voice heard. Religion has some sort of 'don't touch it' shield around it, and shouldn't
