    Yeah there's no call for that, and not to mention that is not clever.

    As a Christian I agree; at the same time, as an American I have to say it's all free speech, and if an atheist truly feels that way (i.e. feels the problem is believe in God to begin with, rather than how one twists that belief), then he or she has every right to carry that sign.

    Of course it probably ends up being alienating to potential allies on the issue in question (and therefore being counterproductive).

    I did agree with him that the others signs were funny but something like that was just lazy and not creative.

    Both were deleted I'm assuming because of the original word of the post.
