The Stupid! It Burns! (billboard edition)

the stupid! it burns! Atheists Proselytize Their Faith In North Carolina
A group of atheists and agnostics in North Carolina have begun a billboard campaign which they claim is designed to help them gain acceptance into main stream society.

However, I think the statements on the billboard seem to be more of a challenge to the beliefs of religious folk than just a friendly “hey there, let’s be friends” type thing. The News and Observer article refers to the billboard quotes as “pithy.” I would not call the billboards pithy, I would call them mocking, insulting and kind of nasty in nature.
The author displays five of the FFRF Out of the Closet billboards. Woo hoo! Free advertising.

For a dose of concentrated stupidity, read the comments.

    The comments are truly mindboggling.

    The logic behind, [paraphrased] “Because anti-cigarette laws required the existence of cigarettes, there must be a god, or else the atheists would have nothing to atheate.” is astounding.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
