It’s been my experience that most papers, especially those in less populated areas are very good about printing them. I’ve had a few in my local paper here in Mississippi even.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-51102818508995339732007-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:002007-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:00And has anyone ever seen random atheist "street pr...And has anyone ever seen random atheist "street preachers" telling all that their religions are a bunch of baloney and to join the world of reason? I have never seen this, except maybe at rallies where atheists are protesting against theocracy being imposed in our secular schools and government.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-76023490525760115472007-09-27T10:53:00.000-04:002007-09-27T10:53:00.000-04:00Mr Terry said "“Why do professed atheists find it ...Mr Terry said "“Why do professed atheists find it necessary to convert other people to their unbelief, since there is nothing of substance there to convince them of?”<BR/><BR/>I would like Mr Terry to tell me when the last time an atheist knocked upon his door on a Saturday morning and told him there was no god and if he had any god beliefs he was wrong and should give them up? When was the last time any of us were invited to join the "church of atheism"? Do atheists hire buses of people to go out into neighborhoods and "evangelize"? Do they bribe young children to go to "atheist school" with promises of McDonalds and hot dogs and candy like a mega-Baptist church does in our area? Do we put signs out in front of our homes that say "come join us"?Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-45559490106758850622007-09-27T01:06:00.000-04:002007-09-27T01:06:00.000-04:00BTW, I e-mailed Mr. Terry with a link to this post...BTW, I e-mailed Mr. Terry with a link to this post.
