Ya makin' me angry

This morning on the news there was a story about a bit of controversy surrounding a new billboard that went up in the area. The billboard says, 'Not Religious? You're not alone.' It was paid for by a group called Secular Life - and it is twisting the knickers of the Bible Beaters here.

Secular Life says they are not here to Bible bash but rather provide people who aren't religious a support group/network. This may or may not be true, I don't know anything about the group but the spokesman that was on the news seemed fairly level headed...doesn't matter...point is, they still have the right to put the billboard up.

This is what one local BB had to say: "It just absolutely wrong place, wrong town, wrong timing," said Green Hills resident Donnie Cude.

"It's a slap in the face to the Nashvillians and the people who have a strong foundation and do so much good for this town," said Cude.

"Do I respect that they're able to do that? Have to. Do I agree with them? No, I don't," said Cude.

I don't see how it's a slap in the face - I'm a Nashvillian - I don't feel like I've been slapped in the face. Thanks for your opinion Mr. Cude - but I'm sure you don't really respect one damn thing about Secular Life - your "have to" comment pretty much sewed that up.

The fact that the BB's are ticked makes me smile b/c it makes them more self righteous than usual - which is always fun to watch.

They can of course be ticked off - that's their right, BUT they really just need to zip it. It's not on the news every time they put up one their 'religious' messages on billboards. Fair is fair man.

So if the BB's continue to put up their "HELL IS REAL", "ABORTION IS MURDER", "WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY", and "JESUS" billboards then they can do like Jesus says and turn the other cheek if the other side wants to voice their opinion.

I'm sick of having people's religious and moral opinions shoved in my face - sick of it. Remember - when you're pointing your morality laden finger at me there are three more pointing right back at you. Oh and also - Jesus may love you but I'm his Favorite.
