Finally!
After seeing preachy, religious billboards for so many years, it's nice to finally see one that represents reason. This billboard was put up a week before Easter in Orange County (Florida that is) and created quite the controversy. Unfortunately, it was taken down after complaints started rolling in and a nearby restaurant's patronage declined. MediaNet, the billboard's owner, is disavowing any knowledge of it. Now that I see how easy it is to get a billboard pulled, maybe I will see what I can do about the annoying ones in Vegas. I can say that I'm offended by "I am. - God" and "Is peace possible without prayer?". It would make my commute much more enjoyable if those were replaced by advertisements for strip clubs.

"What would Jesus put on a billboard?"
Dawkins so elegantly addresses this kind of situation in his book.

Dawkins addresses everything elegantly no matter what the topic and no matter how disturbing the message. Much like the pan galactic gargle blaster, his words are "like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick".

That billboard is great! I'm surprised someone had the balls to put that up. Must be one of those Atheist Peace guys.
