‘Religion’ Billboard Sparks Debate

My brain is too tired to form my own personal thoughts about religion, but I find things like this to be very interesting.  I can see why people would be offended, but I don’t understand why certain Christians lose their minds when it comes to just promoting a different slant.  Taken from TuscaloosaNews.com:

Freethought association member Pat Cleveland of Talladega said she’s gotten about 50 irate calls about the billboard, but that the group’s intentions aren’t hostile. The Talladega Daily Home reported that a petition drive has been started to take it down.

Cleveland, 63, said the calls she’s received are “ugly” and “hateful.”

“They said I ought to be where John Lennon is, burning in hell. I’m sorry if anybody is offended, but I’ve seen billboards that offend me, like ones that say ‘Jesus is Lord’ over Talladega.”

I will say that I love the style of the ad.  Very eye-catching look that’s loads better than the “White Print on Black Background — ‘God Is Watching You’” billboards that you’re used to seeing everywhere.
