Signs of Freethinking (Or, A Whole Lotta Linkin' Goin' On)

There has been quite a ruckus stirred up by the pro-freethinking billboards and bus signs that have gone up lately in Florida, Texas, and several other states. It's even led to the creation of (or maybe the whole thing just evolved into-heh!) The Billboard Wars.

Meg over at Get In, Hang On posted about some t-shirts her daughter found that promote atheism (and some of them also poke fun at Christianity). I keep changing my mind regarding which is my favorite. At this moment, it's the one that says "Freedom of Speech: Not Just for Christians Any More."

I recently had a conversation with someone regarding a school principal and athletic director who are facing criminal charges over a mealtime prayer at an event held on school property. During the discussion, he complained that society is not tolerant toward Christians. He asked, "Why is it that we're to be tolerant of anything and everything except people who are Christians?...All we're really asking is for others to be tolerant and allow those who believe in God and the Bible to practice their religion openly and publicly without the threat of legal action...."

Call me crazy, but I think that's one of the purposes of churches.
