Fort Worth, TX? Fort WORST, TX!!! -
12-22-2010, 03:34 AM
It a stunning decision today, Fort Worth, TX has blatantly violated the separation of church and state and BANNED religious advertising from it's mass transit system!!!
From the story:
Quote:
The Board of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) voted unanimously last week to formally adopt an advertising policy for all T property which includes a ban on faith-based ads.
The vote was prompted after a recent ad purchased by The Dallas-Fort Worth Coalition of Reason which caused a lot of commotion in town. The ad posted on four buses reads "Millions of Americans are good without God."
|
What? Atheists buy ads and you ban all religious ads? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Why not just ban the atheist ads, like we used to?
Our friend, Pastor Kyev Tatum (A graduate of our Ex-Negro program) is the only one using logic in the whole story:
Quote:
Kyev Tatum, pastor of Friendship Rock Baptist Church in Fort Worth, called The T Board's vote "a dangerous precedent" because it only took a matter of days for religion to be taken out of public policy. Tatum had called for a boycott of the buses when the controversy began.
"The compromise was worse than what we had before," Tatum said, "because the compromise says Christians can no longer advertise and we don't like that."
|
Shout Glory, Brother Tatum!!! Where does it make sense that when atheists want to advertise on buses and trains like Christians do, that the proper "compromise" it to not allow anyone to advertise? That is the same thing as if you had two children and they were fighting over a toy. Would you say, "Until you can both agree to share the toy peacefully, no one gets to pay with it?" Of course not.
You would give it to the oldest male heir.

Even in Godly Texas these outrages can occur.
Those damned and damnable atheists!
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

Isn't it funny that theists condemn the seperation of church and state, yet when we atheists start to participate in the public forum, those same theists demand the seperation be enforced and are then shocked, shocked, I say, that their own speech is caught up in the net?
This reminds me of our local public school district. It USED to be the rule that any community organization could deliver flyers to the public schools to be sent home to parents by distributing the flyers to the students and having the students take the flyers home to their parents or guardians. The churches took advantage of this ALL the time. But guess what happened when a Pagan organization sent home a flyer about a community event they were holding? You got it. The churches screamed. The rules were changed that no religious content or content from religious-affiliated organizations would be allowed. What did the Chirstians say? Basically the same sentence I quote from the OP.
Will you all never learn?

I agree completely. Rather than banning religious advertising on buses and trains, the reasonable thing to do would have been to abolish the Communist mass transit system entirely and invest the money back into tax breaks for those who God has blessed with wealth.

What are you talking about? Atheists don't even have a church.

I agree that they handled it wrong. The correct thing to do would be to change the rules to allow content from any religion dating back to since before 1950.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Godly comment, Brother! When I did my legal internship in Washington DC, I discovered that the riders of the Metro (their subway trains) paid MORE THAN NEEDED to ride the train to SUBSIDIZE the buses! Who rides the Metro trains? True Christian Republicans commuting in from Northern VA, Potomac, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and other rich suburbs. Who rides the buses? They are predominately occupied with the darker races.
Redistribution of wealth!! In our NATION'S CAPITAL!!! No wonder people call is the People's Republic of D.C.

I have had some personal experience with this issue. I have been approached by certain parties who offered big money for Freehold's City budget for the right to place atheist ads on billboards and on public vehicles. Those making the requests were sent packing.
To me it is a public safety issue. When we Christians see an heathen atheist ad our blood pressure rises. We get distracted from our driving. This does not happen when we see a Godly Christian advertisement.
That is why I do not allow any of the atheists' filthy messages on billboards or vehicles in Freehold.
We are a freedom of speech City. But when it comes to public safety, I will not put the citizens I love at risk.
