No deal
If that’s the only way to get in, I’ll take the eternity of Hell, thanks. Besides, I hear Jesus doesn’t even give you the courtesy of a reach-around…how rude!
Spread the outrage

lol.
Sounds painful. I’d expect dinner and I movie at least. I hear the Tourist is rather good.

My goodness that is a REALLY sexually suggestive sign….Jesus enter me? Gross!
MDS
we need a mexican standing next to that sign striking some sexual poses
miketheiron
Well, technically if He really is omnipresent…
Michael
Does this mean that atheists are guilty of the ultimate sin…cockblocking?!??!
Jon
Do these guys never proof-read their signs? There’s a church not far from me that sports a sign with the word “Come” in large letters and picture of a little girl with her mouth open. I’ll have to take a picture some time.
On the other hand, I’d rather not. I’ve got a pretty gross sense of humour, but even I’ve got my limits.

Good god, please tell me that’s not doctored.

Based on these comments I’m guessing that most of the readers on this site are under the age of 12.
MDS
^^^ why? do 12-year olds have a better sense of humor? Come out of the closet Brandon, you’re an atheist and you know it. How long can you go praying to invisible people? We welcome you with open arms.

This inspired to look at various church signs online. The one I find especially disturbing says, “A 4 inch tongue can bring a 6 foot man to his knees.”
Jon
So why keep coming back, Brandon? What’s in it for you? I can *sort of* understand why a believer might listen to an Atheist podcast (we all get a giddy thrill from doing something we know we’re not supposed to be doing), but in your case I really wonder.
If laughing at toilet humour makes me some how ‘less mature’, then fuck it. I’m immature. I’ve seen “Freddie Got Fingered” so many times I could put on a one-man-performance and I don’t care who knows it. And I dare say I probably laugh a lot more than any stuck-up prude you’d care to name.
Enjoy the view from your high-horse.

That really sounds bad

I love the way Brandon thinks he’s the puritan in the school yard. Dude, relax a little. High pressure is bad for everybody.
mds
Im surprised Brandon loves Jesus so much. He probably prays to him every night and has never gotten a response. Jesus is an asshole. Just straight up ignoring your boy Brandon, how rude.
Jacob Fortin
My question is: who WOULDN’T crack a joke when you see a sign like that?
Brandon (Men's Battle Plan)
Ok. I’ll relax. You guys try to relax about me relaxing.
I’ll admit the sign is pretty funny. I’ve never understood those marque signs. I don’t understand why churches keep putting them up.
It’s funny how some of you keep saying that I’m a closet atheist. Is that an insult or something?
Jon, the reason why I keep coming back is to keep you honest. Someone has to be the voice of reason.
Jon
Keep us honest? That’s a new one. I won’t point out the irony about being the voice of reason.
I’ll give you credit, though. You’re obviously not under the illusion that you’re going to convert any of us. Most people who do that have appalling spelling and grammar and tend to copy-and-paste scripture. There’s only so many times one can see John 3:16 before you get the urge to stick a fork in your testicles.
If you’re sharpening your intellectual claws by debating us filthy unwashed heathens (like any aspiring apologist), be careful what you wish for… that’s how Matt Dillahunty started when he was studying to be a Baptist Minister and we all know how that story ended!
MDS
closet atheist is not an insult. but you did come in here and say, “I’m guessing that most of the readers on this site are under the age of 12.” which is an insult.
typical religious nutjob.
“battle plan”
more typical religious nonsense.
start a war over your religion brandon. hitler would be proud of you
Jon
If you want a good giggle (or cringe) some time, check out his website. I wanted to face-palm, but I have a feeling I’d need bigger hands.
Brandon (Men's Battle Plan)
MDS, “Battleplan” is not about creating wars with other people, it’s about the war within ourselves to do the things that we want to do and to stop doing the things we don’t want to do.
I’ve explained this before directly to you. Please stop insinuating that I want to create religious wars when you know it isn’t true. Where on my blog or on any comments I’ve made here have I said that I want to start a war over my religion?
Brandon (Men's Battle Plan)

The reverse is also true. We have people come to our church and convert to Christianity all the time that used to be atheists who are doctors, scientists, PHDs.
For me, there is no doubt that some of you reading this who are atheists will become Christians at some point in your life. It happens everyday as does Christians becoming atheists.
Here are some entries from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_converted_to_Christianity:
Francis Collins – physician-geneticist, noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes, and the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute
Alister McGrath – Biochemist
Félix Leseur – Doctor turned priest
Nina Karin Monsen -Monsen is Magister of Philosophy (1969) and was one of the founders of the Norwegian new feminist movement in 1970. Her early work was on the logician Quine and later feminist philosophy; she since became the most visible proponent of Personalism in Norway, with Det elskende menneske (The loving human being, 1987) as the most central work.Monsen grew up in a humanist family, but later convert to Christianity through philosophic thinking.[3] Recently, Monsen has been a strong opponent of the introduction of same-sex marriage in Norway.
Bernard Nathanson – Medical doctor who was a founding member of NARAL, later becoming a Pro-Life proponent.
Marvin Olasky – Former Marxist turned Christian conservative, he edits the Christian World magazine.
George R. Price – Geneticist who became an Evangelical Christian and wrote about the New Testament. Price developed a new interpretation of Fisher’s fundamental theorem of natural selection, the Price equation, which has now been accepted as the best interpretation of a formerly enigmatic result.[5] He wrote what is still widely held to be the best mathematical, biological and evolutionary representation of altruism. He also pioneered the application of game theory to evolutionary biology, in a co-authored 1973 paper with John Maynard Smith.

Jon, I cringe and laugh every time I read my blog as well. Pretty crappy amateur stuff. Just trying to put myself out there to generate discussion.

“closet atheist is not an insult. but you did come in here and say, “I’m guessing that most of the readers on this site are under the age of 12.” which is an insult.” -MDS
I wasn’t saying that someone calling me a “closet atheist” was an insult. There have been a few times on this site that people have called me a closet atheist as if it was an insult. I never took it that way but was asking what they meant.
I think it’s funny that you would point out the fact that I made a joke about your 12 yo humor and take offense. But this whole site is a huge insult to people who believe in God. Jake says religious people are idiots, stupid, assholes, and mentally ill.
But I can understand why you would cry about me saying you are laughing at an immature joke.
Don’t you think it’s a little hypocritical?
