If we’re going to generalize because of one person then all Catholics are pedophile supporting Nazi youths and all Baptists are meth smoking closet homos.
On Wiki: “According to a June 2, 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot,[23] Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia’s mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson’s mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda. In response to Taylor’s alleged crimes against humanity, the United States Congress passed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President George W. Bush of “undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country.” At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade.[24] On February 4, 2010, at his war crimes trial in the Hague, Taylor testified that Robertson was his main political ally in the U.S., and that he had volunteered to make Liberia’s case before U.S. administration officials in exchange for concessions to Robertson’s Freedom Gold, Ltd., to which Taylor gave a contract to mine gold in southeast Liberia.[25] In 2010, a spokesman for Robertson said that the company’s arrangements — in which the Liberian government got a 10 percent equity interest in the company and Liberians could purchase at least 15 percent of the shares after the exploration period — were similar to many American companies doing business in Africa at the time.[26]”
I do have to mention that the fact that one evangelist is a schmuck and two atheists are good guys hardly proves that atheists as an aggregate have more compassion.
As I see it, the point was actually more to debunk the common rhetoric that you can’t be a good person without being a Christian and that being a Christian automatically means you’re a good person.
Goodness comes from within, not devotion to an imaginary force from without.
It’s true: God is pretty useless.
I agree. Android is far superior to iOS.
And fuck pat robertson.
Up the butt with a giant black dildo
Never was a Pat Robertson fan, but do you have any links to back any of this up or is it just a cool poster?
Not hard to look up nowadays….
*cough* ‘Evangelical’ *cough*
Good poster, though, nonetheless.
[obligatory comment including Stalin]
You can be bad without god too, but try convincing a Christian of *that*!

And this: money.cnn.com/2010/06/15/news/newsmakers/Warren_Buffett_Pledge_Letter.fortune/index.htm which mentions Bill Gates, too.

It may be the case, but the logic sucks.
To be fair, only the top two are part of the ad campaign.
Just thought I should make that clear, even if it was already.

BINGO!
atheists have bigger hearts…..and bigger brains. Religion, opiate for the masses, scourge of humanity.
Sorry, but Einstein laughs at you rhetoric.
Really?
