Godless Billboard Moved After Threats

Godless Billboard Moved After Threats
Its not just Christians. Muslims could take offense to it. So can those of the Jewish faith.
Still, the billboard in a way, is a slap in the face to those of the Christian faith. Yes, Christians have dome things like this in the past. But if you do the samething as them, your no better then they are. You loose the philosophical 'high road'. But then, if they were threaten, it could mean anything from a legal issue in the courts (and the person bringing the issue has deep pockets of cash), on up to and including, physical violence.
If, as an atheist, you go, and attack a Christian service, by being obnoiously rude and LOUD. Yes, they WILL get angry and do anything from legal issues to physical violence. One would think, that if Atheist's philosophy was so good, they would have learn from other religions around them? Apparently, not.
Well, it is free speech. So, sincerely fuck that, and any one who wants to silence freedom of expression. Note that in the second sentence I am expressing an opinion. Just because it offends you doesn't mean it is not freedom of expression.
Now on to more rational discussion.
First and foremost, no one was physically attacked with this sign. Secondly any one using money to exploit the court system to seek a politically motivated lawsuit is, arguably, taking part in Vexatious Litigation. Thirdly, no one went into a gathering of the proposed religious and became unruly.
Forth, and most importantly, Atheism is not a religion. Nor has it ever claimed to be. Atheism can be either the rejection of theism,[1] or the position that deities do not exist.[2] In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[3] Wikipedia
Atheism is a rational and logical system of thought that relies on fact to avoid the absurdity of religions which,in point of fact, rely only on faith.
If it were a religious billboard, as much as I detest the thought, I would be arguing that the people lodging threats against it are no better than those lodging threats here.
Favoring one over the other is not pursuant to good faith and is a slap in the face of the framers. For instance see the Establishment Clause
The constitution provides for all citizens or none at all. One group cannot be held above the others. But then again, I'm thinking of Republics not Democracies.

A company that refuses to acknowledge the regulations is in criminal violation, however the burden of proof is on the regulators. The regulators need to prove that the company actively refuses to abide by the regulations.
Ignorantia juris non excusat
No employer is protected by the Ignorance defense. However the sentence may be less as strict provided the employer can prove their ignorance. Proof of willful ignorance is covered in the first part of my statement, in which case the employer is subject to stricter sentences.

Then, maybe, they will think twice about starting wars.
I'll give Obama credit though, he did turn down all proposed plans of attack for A-stan.
The fighting in that quagmire is very similar to Vietnam men at forward fire bases not being able to leave their bunkers. Then going out on patrols and walking through a village full of VC, er, Taliban, er wait.. Civilians?
The soviets couldn't do it, and neither can we.
