Atheist Billboard Removed
If a Christian billboard were removed there’d be a big outcry and all kinds of commentary about how Christians are being persecuted. Not so much when it happens to atheists.
The billboard, which read “Don’t Believe in God? You’re Not Alone,” was paid for by the Rationalists of East Tennessee, an atheist organization. It cost $1,800.
While the billboard was objected to, many people have voiced their support for it, among them Dr. Wade Bibb, a pastor at Central Bearden Baptist church, just across from the billboard’s location on Kingston Pike.
“We’re very strong supporters of freedom of speech,” Bibb said to WATE. He also had a word for members of his congregation.
“If you wanted that to be a pro God message there then I think you should have rented it out and put a pro God message on there,” Bibb said.

Considering the jerimandered House districts, I’d say you do have representation.
The President is not a Muslim not that it would matter since the Constitution says so.
The Supremes have already passed on the ACA twice now so it IS constitutional despite your whining.
Sounds more like you are a treasonous southern scumbag.

You should sign up for Obamacare. You sound like you need some meds.

The pastor is correct. Whoever has the cash, gets their message on the board. The sign is part of a private, for-profit business. Only the owners of that billboard get to decide what content goes on it.

Big deal the lease ran out
Dwendt44 June 25th, 2015 at 17:25
It did NOT run out. The fool that owned the property and gets rent money from the billboard company objected to the sign so it was taken down.

So then he is out $1800 a month
Dwendt44 June 25th, 2015 at 19:45
Perhaps, but I’m betting there is or will be a refund.
