You don't believe in public nuisance laws? OK for them to park an Evangelist Wagon with loudspeakers outside you house and preach the "good news" at 3 AM?

Haha... sorry. I guess I came out thinking I was one of the "sides."Complaints? Heavens no. I was agreeing with you.
While additionally noting that the "outrage" in the OP
was on the hyperventilated side.

Why should it be? Do you think asking a baker as a private business owner to make a cake for two gay men getting married shouldn't be protected as a right to refuse service based on his personal religious views? Me smells a peculiarly self-serving double-standard (hypocrisy) here.Are you saying that having a billboard announcing an event shouldn't be protected?
I don't see a false equivlence at all. Here's what you said:Personally, I find stupid false equivalencies to be a bit of a nuisance, but I defend your right nonetheless.
My point was this cannot be expressed as an absolute "right", because we DO have laws of when and where it is appropriate and not. Blasting loudspeakers in a residential neighborhood at 3 AM to "save" you, is not a "freedom". You know that. Your right to not be disturbed in fact does override their right to preach their "good news" to you.It's the sign of a society that's dispensed with core values. I have no love for "bible thumpers", but my right not to be disquieted does not, and should not, trump freedom or expression.
I dont know that they are being, now.
But yes, Christian bigotry toward us awful atheists is
more than a little familiar.
Hello. I found this to be outrageous. Yes, a private company has every right to make the decision. Nevertheless I think it a sad commentary on the state of our society.

I wonder if anyone here has encountered this kind of intolerance? Where does it come from?
Peace
The Bible says opposition to the gospel is earthly, fleshly, demonic.

In the current political climate, that's probably not a good idea.
Yes, but why use an atheist sign without the warnings that it was fake News?Yes, and I actually thought about pointing that out but it does illustrate the point that there are ways to do something publicly and a way not to do something.

Id fight like a demon to keep those self righteous "Christians"He more then welcome to buy his own billboards. Not sure the price of them there but plenty of churchs buy theirs out here.
So all the good stuff. Gotcha.
Apparently notWhat I said is if anything excessively plain.
Did you actually not understand it?
That's why we love you!Some do. Some don't. And, like you, many engage in worthless, self-serving generalizations. Go bait someone else ...

It's a privately owned mall and they have the right to accept or refuse any advertising that they want. To suggest that this somehow means that the bible has been banned from public is ridiculous.
