What ya think, bitches? Just because it is "religion" people have to pretend to respect it or treat it as something other than a delusion. It's not "appropriate" to treat people certain ways when they use or claim religion as a reason for something ... something I've always had a problem with. So I agree with the part below especially:
Professor Dawkins said: "Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children.
This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think - and thinking is anathema to religion."
Hanne Stinson, chief executive of the BHA, said: "We see so many posters advertising salvation through Jesus or threatening us with eternal damnation, that I feel sure that a bus advert like this will be welcomed as a breath of fresh air."
Yeah can't imagine a sign like this being allowed on a bus in the so called land of the "free" can you?
You're free alright, free to tiptoe around religion.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
