["Why believe in God? Just be good for goodness sake."]
My counter-question is... Why must [they] bring God into the equation if [they] do not believe in him. I am not convinced of their agnostic/atheistic/other views.

[They] are presumably trying to persuade you that you don't need to believe in God to behave well. They could hardly do that by avoiding bringing God into the equation, even though they don't believe in it because you certainly do.
However, I'm not convinced that you are entirely rational.

[How do evolutionists know that the 'Missing Link' is missing if they've never found it to begin with?
There is absolutely NO evidence of a half man/half ape creature that once existed. Mad scientists today are playing God, by tampering with life, generating chimeras in labs. This is evil according to the Bible...
God never intended for human DNA to be mingled with rabbits, cows, and mice to generate freak chimeras. Will scientists generate a half man/half ape mutant creature and claim it is proof of the Neanderthal man's existence?

-My counter-question is... Why must [they] bring evolution into the equation if [they] do not believe in it? I am not convinced of their fundamentalist views.
Here's a question: Why do you bring a non-existent sky fairy into every little aspect of existence, even where one is so obviously not required? I'm not convinced of your fundamentalist christian views, and probably never will be.
We will stop bothering your sky daddy as soon as you keep him the hell out of our buisness.
We will stop disproving your delusions as long as you stop talking about them and trying to force them on others.
"I am not convinced of their agnostic/atheistic/other views"
I don't think the point was to convince you that they are an agnostic, atheist or c.none of the above. The point seemed to be that you don't need a deity to justify being a good person. What does that have to do with being an agnostic/atheist/other?
...and since agnostics and most people who would fall in the "other" catagory don't argue against the existance of a deity, I really don't see why them mentioning one would contradict their beliefs.
It doesnt work like that, nor is your "witty" little observation correct...stating that you disbelieve that we atheists disbelieve will not stop us from advertising our position.
P.S. - Child psychology doesnt work on us freethinkers.
What really kills me is that the fundies in that thread are calling these ads "sick", "evil" and labeling it as "persecution". What the fuck is wrong with them? I could understand calling the ads sick if they depicted a woman in graphic, gory detail, legs spread wide open smiling through an abortion with a caption that read something like, "After 1974, Mary probably would have aborted Jesus. So let's party like there's no Christ in Christmas!" That would be cause for some hard feelings.
Simply acknowledging that people can be good without lying that Jesus was born on December 25th is only "evil" and "persecution" in the sad, sad little world of the fundie death cultists.
How damn childish. "Oh, look, he said 'God'! He believes in God, then!"
Hey, look, you said "atheistic". That means you're an atheist now.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
