This makes me kinda upset.

The only thing that i question out of that entire article is this:

“When you think you’ve heard it all, you haven’t,” Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz told Fox News Radio. “These seven brave souls who put their lives on the line and ultimately gave up the most precious gift that could be given, believe me are in heaven for serving us so admirably,” he said.

This is false, its not truth and yes it will offend some that see what im saying, they do not recieve entry into heaven because they gave thier lives. "Noone goes to the Father except through Me"

I agree with you, but I think the point is how Christianity is treated as a whole, how anything having to do with Christianity is shunned and rejected, imo.

It's just a sign after all, and IF God doesn't exist and the whole heaven thing is a fairy tale (according to atheists) then why are they so threatened by stuff like this???

They aren't. They had no problem and didn't say nary a word against it before hand. It's only later when they can get some publicity and a news story over it that the "Problem" developed and it became a threat.

I agree. It's mostly being done to get attention for themselves.

They'd have gotten the same publicity if they started this when it was proposed, I think they just didn't notice. It's not like there are athiests trolling every one of however many dozens and dozens and dozens of city council meetings there are a year to check.

In other news The California Atheists are angry over the name of the city "Los Angeles" which in spanish means city of angels. Stating that they don't believe in angels so they are demanding the city to change the name to something else.

These atheists seriously need to get a life.

Hmmmm, let me fix that for you.

"These atheists seriously need to recieve life, through Christ"

Ok. This is also true.

Because they're not at a gagillion council meetings? If they were, I'd be with you but not spending their days at city council meetings seems pretty normal to me, heh.

But why oh why do they bother with it at all?

No. Because they get on my nerves with their constant God-bashing.

NYC Atheist are an organization with members and an agenda and they survive off of.......donations. Why complain during a board meeting where a vote will be taken and they will most likely be outvoted eh?

Much better to wait until afterwards when they can raise a stink, get publicity and possibly garner donations for the cause.

Pure speculation on my part about their motivations and actions but, really, it's how these things usually go down isn't it?
