Atheists want to ban the word "heaven"

[chanel]

A group of New York City atheists is demanding that the city remove a street sign honoring seven firefighters killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because they say the sign violates the separation of church and state.

The street, “Seven in Heaven Way,” was officially dedicated last weekend in Brooklyn outside the firehouse where the firefighters once served. The ceremony was attended by dozens of firefighters, city leaders and widows of the fallen men.

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, agreed calling on the city to remove the sign. “It implies that heaven actually exists,” Silverman told Fox News Radio.

But the city has no intention of removing the sign. If that’s the case, Bronstein said he may consider a lawsuit.

There are crazy athiests out there as well as crazy religious folks.

This is America they are allowed an opinion even if you dont like it.


I bet you will survive the whole thing

Trying to prevent people from using particular words isn't just voicing an opinion, it's oppression.

Atheists are far worse than any people of faith when it comes to being offended... with exception to Muslims.... As far as I'm aware, atheists don't kill people for mocking their lack of faith.

We just kill people that piss us off. Religion is irrelevant.

The guy is president of an athiest group? That is wierd in itself. Athiests need no group/church. I say the guy and his followers have some problems.

Unless the the tax funds came from the Fed they probably have no case as to the seperation.

Unless the state Constitution has a specific seperation.

Either way

What a bunch of useless cock suckers these "people" are. It's more important to score points than to let a memorial go.

And dog shit like TM can't live with it in place.

 

[AllieBaba]

It has been my experience that all atheists have some problems.

Fucking Atheists keep rubbing their religion in our faces.

Atheism: It's the Official State religion of the American Left, coming to a town near you!

Wow, that's just cold hearted, man. And to possibly sue?

And like Land said here..

“There are cities that have religious connotations in their names, why not a street,” Land said. “Do they want us to rename Los Angeles, Corpus Christi, and St. Joseph?”

This is just as silly as Christians wanting to ban an Islamic center in New York.

There are all sorts of atheists groups/events - all sort of like religious groups in themselves:


Dawkins sets up kids’ camp to groom atheists -Times Online
Camp Quest | The Secular Summer Camp


Welcome to Michigan Atheists !

Minnesota Atheists - Positive Atheism In Action! - Home

American Atheists | Welcome Free Thinkers


Yes, it is their right, but the agenda seems to fight freedom of religion sometimes.

I don't see much truth in your post. Yes, this is America, but the leftists, atheists, socialists, etc. want to have those opinions or beliefs stifled because they don't jive with their own opinions.

As an athiest, This is just stupid. You have to realize that regardless of your feelings on religion, this is still a christian nation. Not to mention that the sign is outside of the firehouse where they served. It's point is to honor those 7 who lost their lives to protect ours. This N.Y group should loose this fight and be told to STFU.

I suspect that the organized atheists are not truely atheists but fighting religion.
A true atheist needs no quasi-religious group.

 

[nitroz]

now the people who want this done are dumbasses....

Ever heard of equal rights?
I'm Atheist, but I do say. Those people are truly ignorant.

I suspect you aren't really an atheist. Because while the United States may have been founded by people who were largely Christian..they chose to leave Christianity completely out of the Constitution..

Unless of course..you count slavery..which is okay within Christian doctrine.

I'm surprised they aren't trying rename "Hell's Kitchen".
