Noah's Ark feature removed after atheists complain.

[Condunum]

Damn y'all atheists are everywhere.

The people around you are not all like you.

[California Prime]

GOOD. That garbage has no reason to be posted in a fed or state government owned/controlled park land.

[New Kvenland]

Yep. Crazy Atheists upholding the constitution, how dare they!

I would have removed that thing just because it was aesthetically awful.

I agree. And I'm a Christian, too. That just looks terrible.

[New Socialist South Africa]

Meh, there might be more push back for that, its not unconstitutional to put up ugly stuff on public land, not yet anyway.

This needs to be amended. Write your senators Americans.

You'll have to handle that, I'll get it going in South Africa.

[True American States]

I never said they were.

[New Socialist South Africa]

Damn y'all atheists are everywhere.

Ya, we're spreading like wildfire, working on our evil plan to, um, I don't know, something evil ... advance rational thought and discussion or something like that.

[Sun Wukong]

Damn y'all atheists are everywhere.

We are legion. Our numbers will darken the skies of every world. You cannot escape your doom having unconstitutional, ugly propaganda removed.

[Condunum]

Sorry, I meant to say the people around you are not like you.

We are everywhere. We are legion.

[The Fraticelli Papacy]

I wouldn't want a public structure telling me to worship Satan, and since this country believes in "separation of church and state", I believe it should be taken down.

[True American States]

Well if you read the Bible you'll know where Legion goes too!

Into a herd of wild pigs

Also I clicked on the link and actually saw that thing. Man that thing is ridiculously bad for the eyes. Here I am thinking its just a little Ark with animal cut outs and windows you can stick you head out off. That thing is not a play ground toy. I have a feeling the Christians who put that up there also broadcast 3:00 am Family Bible Reading Hour on religious channels.

I know! I was imagining a big ark made from pipes, great for role playing. but nooo its a little religious education pasted over a tic tac toe game.

[Olthar]

So why does a playground equipment need a religious theme?

It doesn't, but if it is already set up and paid for why destroy it? It's just to satisfy the bigoted views of State Atheism. They would rather destroy something kids enjoy than repeal a law that just causes crap like this to happen.

"Something kids enjoy?" I don't know about you, but I never found those spinning cylinders to be any fun. They're just cylinders that spin. Where's the fun in that? Hell, I've never even seen anyone actually touch the things. If anything, this is good. It means there's now room for a piece of equipment that the kids might actually like.

[Olthar]

I am not sure which bunch I hate more: radical Christians, radical Muslims or radical Atheists. To Hell with the whole bloody lot.

Radical Muslims and Christians tend to blow up buildings and kill people. Radical atheists tend to complain a lot. Clearly, they're all on equal footing.

He writes as if, today in 2014, radical atheists are even present in the American government and passing laws, akin to the radical Christians.

Atheists in America are not the persecutors. They never are. They simply can't be, as according to Gallup, Atheists are the most unpopular and least likely to be politically supported group in America; more than Muslims, gays, Mormons etc.

What the actual hell (?)

I'd sooner tell people I'm a transexual lesbian than tell them I'm an atheist.

Yeah I got some bad looks before when I used to be an atheist.

[Othelos]

:rofl:

Christians deny people the right to marry in the name of their religion, treat women like brood mares incapable of making decisions for themselves in the name of their religion, dictate people's health care choices based on their religion...all perfectly acceptable expressions of their cherished freedom of religion.

Atheists remove a Noah's Ark toy from a public park? 'MONSTERS! BEYOND THE PALE! UNFORGIVABLE!'.

There is no "right" to marry, we don't treat women like they can't make decisions, and we don't dictate anyones healthcare choices. Get your facts straight before you start criticizing the greatest religion in human existence.

Civil marriage is a civil right and many Christians are pro-life. I'm not sure about "healthcare choices", though, and Myrensis' wording is presenting a point of view that is exaggerated, and ergo, annoying.

Also, I'm skeptical about the "greatest religion" bit. Sure, Christianity doesn't require human sacrifice...but it does have its fair share of faults.

I find that surprising.

[Olivaero]

I don't see the big deal really. Anti-Choice laws, forcing children to say prayers and shit thats important. Some fucking playground equipment? I'm all out of fucks to give I'm afraid. I wouldn't care if it was a climable 20 foot Cresent and Star or a roundabout fashioned after a pentagram and I'm willing to be neither would the kids who played on them.

Well, I still don't tell many people I'm a transsexual lesbian, but it is true. When I made new friends in college I told them because my Facebook page lists me as female, but my religious affiliation never became a subject for discussion. Therefore, technically more people know the former over the latter.

Which is why it wasn't an issue to have it removed. It was just a silly mistake that was corrected as soon as the authorities were made aware.

Well some people clearly do give a fuck and they have the US constitution on their side. Personally I wouldn't be bothered by it, but some people clearly were and they have every right to ask that the constitution be upheld.

[Costa Fuar]

I think it's an overreaction to playground equipment.

[Gallifrey Secundaria]

I think it's an overreaction to playground equipment.

It's upholding the first amendment, that's what it is.
