Hello Jeff.,

 -=> Quoting Jeff Snyder to Peter Coggon <=-

 JS> Hello again Peter. When you say "North America", do you mean just
 JS> Canada, or the USA as well? For the record, I haven't lived in the
 JS> continental USA for 26 years, so other than the online news that I
 JS> read, or the news that some people send me via email, my information
 JS> sources for what is actually going on in various parts of the country
 JS> is somewhat limited. 

North America , yes applies to CANADA and the USA.  I heard there was
this on a bus over here, but where,  I have not found it,  CANADA or
the USA, and well all one has to do is apply, pay the fee, and
theaten court for this or that reason under freedom of this or that.

I'd take a picture.  It would not offend me,  in fact, if someone
or group is that stupid to waste their money like this, then
ok.

 JS> I have no idea who this Mr. Dawkins is. Is he one of those blatant,
 JS> in-your-face atheists perhaps?

Oh yeah.    I saw him on TV one night, and he went balistic over
a question of the interviewer.

 JS> Well, if I saw a bus which had a banner on it, which said in large
 JS> letters that God does not exist, it would certainly get a reaction out
 JS> of me. It would make me very upset, and I would find it very offensive.

Some are offended, as Steve Asher has reported.   Drivers apparently 
refusing to drive buses with this message on them, that attacks their
faith that there is a GOD.    I personally would not drive the bus
out of fear of the bus being attacked for the sign, which they'
could have, so long as the passengers and bus are ok.

 JS> I find it appalling that such things are now permissible over there.
 JS> Oh, how God must weep!

Jeff.  It seems, it is still going to happen as more time goes by.
 
I have no reason to oppose Mr. Dawkins, and the rest of the atheists
of the world.   They are welcome to their beliefs , as much as I am
mine, which are a faith in GOD.    I am not pleased when these
atheists call me, to push their agenda, and I am not pleased when
they try one sided to push free time, and I am really opposed when
they try shut me up for having faith in GOD.    I usually terminate
their call, and hear about it later.    Had a few with the openline
show, and if they don't like the reply, or allow me to reply with
same timeline, then they don't get back on.  And if they call
the powers to be, then so be it.   I never cared then and thanks
I am not having these problems now, because they must be multiplied
now.

As far as I am concerned, I want a banner that they don't exist,
but then I don't want to waste money on them.  Not worth it,
so now well ignored.

ttfn

Peter
