Atheists Hang Banner in Wilkes-Barre Town Square

The holidays are great because some people are nice to each other.

The majority of other people just use the holidays as a way to get mad at other people. People want you to believe in their god so that they feel less guilty about believing in their god.

And atheists don’t want you to believe in gods so that they will feel less guilty about not believing in any gods.

Because, if you can convince people that what you think is true is the truest truth, then you are the coolest of the cool and everyone will write on your Facebook wall.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — A banner proclaiming religion a myth has joined a Nativity display and menorah in a northeastern Pennsylvania town square.

Two Wilkes-Barre men paid a $50 fee to hang the banner supplied by the Freedom From Religion Foundation in the same public square that the town’s Christmas tree has been erected.

The banner reads, in part, “At this Season of the Winter Solstice, Let Reason Prevail.”

Justin Vacula and Rodney Collins paid the fee for the banner’s display. The NEPA Freethought Society members say the city is being courageous to allow diverse viewpoints.

Vacula tells The Citizens’ Voice of Wilkes-Barre that atheists are entitled to share their views if religious displays are allowed on public land.

A city spokesman says Wilkes-Barre can’t discriminate and endorses no religious beliefs. SOURCE: WPXI

The Flying Spaghetti Monster should have a banner hanging everywhere. 

I think it’s fun that the atheists are ruffling people’s feathers.
