Well that would be interesting :) David and his clan take legal action about discrimination... so.. they win and get their sign on the buses...

Then, my mob takes legal action in Victoria under the RRT for religious vilification, the implication that 'religious' people are unreasonale :)

and of course... it's not about a grudge or anything personal..it's just about what is 'RIGHT' :)

the campain has hit the abc; news radio [the lawyer suing a small bus company, will no doudt send them broke] but hey you got the publicity and it only cost some lawyer fees
#
[is this typical of athiest morality[pick on the little guy[knowing they will go broke defending themselves in court]just to get a'win',
just to make a point?

why not do a campain on a big player ?[like in sydney or melbourne?]
someone able to aford to play the 'game' ,why pick on a tiny player?in hobart,

what value of contract was offered ?[how much it going to cost this small transport company to fight this international conspiricy[have many donated to your 'fighting fund?, how much the lawyer cost you so far?HOW much you guys expect to rake in from this scam?

some of my best friends are athiest[but they play fair; picking only on those able to defend them selves?

anyhow it is heartening that many claiming athiesm ,yet,do see this attack on the little guy is unfair, regardless of the morality that discriminates on the basis of a persons [dis]belief

see how even in your first post to the topic[quoted in a previous post] you didnt explain the whole message ,

it finishes from memory ,with something like 'sleep in on sundays' [now many honour god on saterday ?

[so how come you didnt pick on them ?[can THEY claim discrimination too?[from your selectively [targetted] publicity piece]

wonder if those who paid for this,will be held as co conspiring to bring down this company'just trying to deliver their service' [why am i thinking yanki [brit?]go home] stir up trouble in your own back yard[you live in tassie i presume?]

Good People,

Isn’t it amazing how one little advertisement with the sentiment, “Atheism - Celebrate reason!”, can invoke such rancour from some of the religious and the non-religious alike.

I wonder what wording the AFA should have on advertisements or should we be disallowed from advertising altogether. Should we be quiet and keep out of sight and say nothing about anything.

And if this is so, why is it so?

Now, I am not asking for iffy generalisations, but I really do want some concrete rationale supporting any of your answers to these questions. You never know, but the AFA may take notice and follow advice, if it is sound, irrefutable and has a basis in reason.

AFA Inc

Your lot still don't get it do you?
There is such a thing as bad publicity. Spiting in the eye of the public doesn’t bring them on side it incenses them. Do you really think if the ads go ahead your organization will get anything but hostility?
You really do need to get someone on board with a greater understanding of marketing and persuasion.

You don’t seem to understand that there is a difference between pseudo science being taught in school and people are entitled to be deluded if they want.
Dawkins and AFA Inc don’t seem to understand that their rights to scientifically pontificate end with secularization of education. It’s called tolerance of the individual.

Likewise neither can you take over the emotional/pastoral care of their children.
Your approach seems to be simply put “We’re right, we’re rational and your not”.
That is arrogance plain and simple. We condemn missionaries who ‘convert’ indigenous peoples to their life view. Perhaps you can explain logically the difference. Even good scientists acknowledge we still don’t know all the answers.

Meredith is right Extreme atheists have given the term a pejorative edge.

BTW I don’t believe in a supernatural god either and I support keeping religion out of where it doesn’t belong, government/education. But don’t call me an atheist I accept other’s rights to believe what ever gets them up in the morning.

PS when non believer take umbridge at your stance...perhaps it's time for reevaluation.

examinator,

Perhaps you did not read my last post, especially this paragraph:

“Now, I am not asking for iffy generalisations, but I really do want some concrete rationale supporting any of your answers to these questions. You never know, but the AFA may take notice and follow advice, if it is sound, irrefutable and has a basis in reason.”

'We condemn missionaries who ‘convert’ indigenous peoples to their life view.'

Yea lets leave them so uncles can have 11 year old girls and boys for sexual pleasure while treating older women like crap. Or better still give them grog so they can self destruct. Don't include me in the we. The most helpful people to the indigenous have been those who have brought them education. hygiene, medicine and the gospel message. Many of these people have been sacrificial humble servants unlike those who pick and choose parts of history in order to validate their warped views.
