Atheists go fishing for converts in the Bible Belt

A zealot of any stripe is still a zealot.....
Atheist activists are taking their campaigns to the Bible Belt this Christmas with a provocative billboard campaign that is expected to stir controversy in America's religious heartlands.
The giant advertising hoardings in the Tennessee cities of Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and Fort Smith, Arkansas show a mischievous-looking young girl writing her letter to Father Christmas: "Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is to skip church! I'm too old for fairy tales," she writes.
The advertising campaign by the American Atheists group will run until Christmas Eve and is the first time the group has aimed its anti-God adverts directly at residential religious areas, having previously targeted urban audiences in big venues such as Times Square in New York.

Modernity will get the Muslims just like it got the European and American Christians.
They will be undone by the pill, porn and buying shit.
This will admittedly take another generation or two, but it has already started.
The radical fringe - which would have amounted to zippo without the huge cash infusion that came from the sheer fortuity of western technology transforming otherwise useless fossil goo into liquid gold - will not sustain itself.
It never does.
Their children will be interested in fucking and buying shit, not in blowing themselves and others up.

"Elijah Lovejoy was considered a martyr by the abolition movement, and in his name, his brother Owen Lovejoy became the leader of the Illinois abolitionists. His murder was a sign of the increasing tension within the country leading up to the Civil War, and it is for this reason that he is considered to be the 'first casualty of the Civil War.'"
I like this comic. Fairfax Underground battles would be like this if we weren't fighting on the internet.
