IKEA Taunts Christians in Italy As They Fade in Influence |
Oh, well we can always convert that Chapel to a brothel- the
prostitutes would at least be older than the priests' victims.
==============================
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050930/tc_nm/italy_advert_jesus_dc
"There's no religion any more," read a slogan for IKEA in an advert to
inform Italians, whose Church attendance is steadily falling, that its
furniture stores were open on a Sunday.

Interesting report.
All it means, though is that I won't buy anything else from IKEA, ever
again.

That's okay. I plan to buy two bookcases from them.
I'll buy one in your 'honor'.

They were bothered about: "There's no religion any more," read a slogan
for IKEA in an advert to inform Italians, whose Church attendance is
steadily falling, that its furniture stores were open on a Sunday.?
That's it? seems a tad over sensitive to me.
I think all the major retailers should make a point of upsetting
Christians at least once a month. It would amuse me to see where they'd
buy their goods then.

You may have a point. I never heard of an atheist who refused
money, merely because it had "in God we trust" written on it. Or do
atheists not have convictions as Christians do?

Atheists understand that they are fornicated (to put it politely) about
this.
If they didn'; submit to the indignity, they would starve, for one thing.

Yep. Martin Luther said, "Here I stand, I can do naught else."

Most theists would use money without the motto if it were taken off.
I have come to this conclusion from the fact that very few personal
checks, on which theists can proclaim their religion affiliation
whenever and however they want, have a religious theme. I've seen a
couple checks with "God® Bless America", a occasional cross or a fish,
and some of those sappy cherubs on checks, but not one "In God® We
Trust" printed on a personal check. Now I'm not saying that there
aren't any, but the vast majority, even though Christians claim they
are the majority in the US, of personal checks are quite secular.
I would think that if this phrase was so dear to the heart of American
Christians that they would print it on every one of their monetary
instruments, but they, as a whole, do not. I am forced to believe
that Christians only want it on money because it is issued by the
government, and government endorsement of religion is more important
to them than a private declaration of belief.
I find the same apathy to saying the Pledge of Allegiance in private.
Whenever I ask someone, who fully supports the "under God®" phrase in
the Pledge as a public ceremony, when was the last time they recited
the Pledge in the privacy of their own home or jointly with their
family and friends, I get only silence.
Strange.

So what? Jesus is Ted Kennedy's shepherd, and He knows that Ted killed
Mary Jo Kopechne. The ominiscience of Jesus enables him to know
everything, both good and bad. You'll have to find something else, if
you want to "prove" that being o.k. is a good thing. It may be, but the
above statement certainly does nothing to support it.

Works for me just as well as gays.
I should go in the bumper sticker apologetics business.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I'm gay.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I drive drunk with my mistress in
the car.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I like to insult people I think
are dumber
than I am.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I'm a mass murderer.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I'm an abortionist.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I'm a pedophile.
The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows I abuse my children.
I had trouble with the last one--The Lord's my Shepherd, and he knows
I'm an atheist.
The message of the Good News is that all human beings are scum,
but God loves them anyway. However, loving someone does not
automatically imply that one gives blanket approval to everything they
do.

It's the same for atheists. They apparently "know" that there is no
god the same way that a Prohibitionist "knows" that alcohol should not

Really?
Atheists only say the pledge in public, too?
I suppose if they feel they are *forced* to - why on eatrth would they
say it privately when it's so offensive to them the way it is now?

No, the lack of government endorsement of religion would suffice. I
know of no atheist who advocates the ban of religion. In fact, most
atheists would fight for your freedom to believe in any deity of your
choice as long you do not insist that the government support your
belief with religious mottos and laws. Most atheists fervently
approve of freedom of religion and conscience because without it we
would probably still be roasting over open fires for heresy. Or maybe
we would merely be branded or have holes pierced in our tongues for
blasphemy as they did to Quakers and others who weren't the "right
kind" in Massachusetts colony.
The
prohibitionist would be satisfied if citizens could legally consume
only liguor they produced themselves at home; the atheist wants
religion turned into the same kind of private (very private) affair.
You can dance in the streets naked for all I care if that is what your
religion tells you to do (as long as you have a parade permit, of
course). It is when you expect the government to sponsor your dancing
naked in the streets with taxpayer's money, printing "dance in the
streets naked" on currency, and requiring an oath to contain words the
words "one nation, dancing in the streets naked" that I draw the line.
It is government endorsement, not your religious beliefs. Always has
been despite the Christian extremist's tendency to cry persecution.
As I mentioned in the part of my post you snipped, very few Christians
actually participate in those activities that they insist that the
rest of us must accept.
When was the last time you, personally, said the Pledge around the
dinner table at home? Do you have "In God® We Trust" imprinted on
your personal checks? If not, why not?

Why do you about atheists, to our faces?
Is it really so hard to grasp that in the real world there are
hundreds of different religions? And that yours is just one of them?
That the world does not revolve around it as you arrogantly imagine?
Or that nobody would give a flying ***** about it if you weren't so

Certainly atheists have convictions, but I have none about imaginary
beings. The US could print "in leprechauns we trust" on the money and
I would consider it equally as stupid and risible. However, the money
would spend the same.
You don't seem to realize that while Christians *must believe in Jesus
in order to get their "reward" and avoid an eternity in Hell®, there
is nothing in atheism to believe; there is nothing in atheism to
betray; there is no one to appease.

I get the feeling that a significant minority of a.a.'ers get punchdrunk
or just plain over-irritated by all the misisonizing they get & tend to
lash out at *any* theist they happen to come across in Usenet.
I try to give them some slack; they've earned it in the field of fire :-)

Actually, in atheism, the atheist is his own little god. Everyone
else must appease him by removing all references to any other deity
from money, pledges, civil arenas, etc.

Liar.

Why are so many of you Christans so in-your-face nasty with your lies
and stupidity?

You may have a point. I never heard of an atheist who refused
money, merely because it had "in God we trust" written on it. Or do
atheists not have convictions as Christians do?
Raleigh
Why? How many convictions have you had?
Or did the judge let you off, just because you were a fellow deludee?

I think the whole thing is a hoax, because thereis no way Ikea would
insult such a huge customer base.

While your faith is commendable, one might consider that in the UK at

Has nothing to do with me!!

Sure, but the idea that they would say "There is no more religion,
come shop here" sounds ridiculously far-fetched.
