http://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/one-christian-just-got-this-ohio-atheism-billboardFrom the Mid-Ohio Atheists website:
Today we received the news that the owner of the land where one of our billboards was placed has threatened to cancel his lease with Lamar if they do not take down our billboard. Had I been forced to guess which one of the three we put up people would find most offensive and which one we would be forced to take down I would have been wrong. Apparently what people fear the most in Mansfield Ohio is not being told there is no God or that God is an invention of man. No my friends what they fear more than those two messages was a message encouraging the use of reason over faith.

(609 posts)I get the feeling that all three billboards had the same (that is, 100%) odds of being complained about by the landowner.

Eeeeeviiiiillllll!!!!! So very evil!1!
I sometimes wonder how they even realize billboards and such are put up as that would mean they'd have to stop cowering in their barn with their bible and shotgun for a spell.
