I get what they are saying and I realize that deep down they arent trying to offend Christians but is it really necessary?

The reason it isnt necessary is because of the wording and the location, we all know that a huge majority of Oklahomans are Christians, some of them fanatical, the way it is worded makes it seem like a pot shot at Christianity, I heard the guy in an interview explain what their point was but why do you need to make the point that you dont believe in God. No one really cares if you dont believe in God, thats your choice.
To me this is like Gay people who make such a big deal about being gay, if you are gay that is fine and I have no issues with it but do you really need to go out of your way to show everyone that you are gay? By bringing more attention to something like this all you are doing is being unnecessary

how does it make it a pot shot at christianity? it says god, not jesus. insert any god from any religion. it's pretty awesome people are coming out and professing an ability to think for themselves and not let themselves be threatened into believing ludicrous things.
I thought I told you to never talk to me on this board again, do us all a favor and pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow

awww i'm sorry for hurtin your little feewers. there is that whole ignore feature ya know
So which one are you?
Seriously,
I don't find this any more or less annoying than the "Go to Hell!... Or heaven! It's your choice" billboards.
I would be happier if it just said religion instead of "God". I don't know why.

Grammatical aside: Does the period go before or after quotes? I always forget.
Exactly.

I have just as much right to believe and promote my belief system as you do.
Sounds like you want everyone to be like you.
It's like you want to stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and sing Bible hymns and pretend the rest of the planet doesn't exist. It's kinda cute.
