AiG cartoonist Dan Lietha decided to produce a special cartoon about our new AiG billboard campaign. The cartoon is below and I’ve also included a special link so you can share it with others:

Oh noes! Christians put up billboards!
Noooo! Nooooooo! Aaaaaaaagh!

Just kidding, it doesn't affect me at all.
...and then the Atheist would reply 'Did God himself put that billboard up there?! '
Question: Did God put pen to paper/fingers to keyboard, proofread (lol, 'Omni[i]science[/i]' ), send the manuscript/Word files to the publisher, send to the printers & have bound & distribute to the vendors the book called "The Bible", with the words 'Written by God ' on it...?

At least Richard Dawkins wrote his books himself , and he exists . Your 'God's word, not so much. The ultimate in (Holy)'Ghost Writing' indeed.
I wonder how many hungry people could have been fed with the money it took to pay for that billboard.
Ah but, silly me, Jesus' commands don't mean anything to his followers, do they?
HAHAHA. That's just embarrassing.
They're trying to make god all current and tech savvy. He's hooking up people on-line via Christian Mingle and creating electronic billboards.... Before you know it he'll be Tweeting.
Yup,just like every other "sign of god" known throughout the history of the world, it's just something created by believers, no god involved.

"Anyone else think might be a parody?"
Well, considering that it is posted on answersingenesis.org, I'm pretty sure this is not a parody, unless AiG has been infiltrated by a very deep-cover atheist. The sad part is that some people believe this is actually convincing and clever. They fail to see why it's so amusing, and why it will only ever work in their own echo chamber.
1. Why? For what?
2. That's nice. How do you feel about Fridays?
3. You spelled "you're" wrong. Your fan base usually spells it, "your." You don't want to confuse them, do you?
4. Now that we know you have a sense of humor... a priest, a nun, and a rabbi walk into a bar...
5. What are we to make of this sign and this sign ?
OK, I'm out.
Is it just me or does the atheist look like one of those old hook-nosed, anti-Semitic stereotypes? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to suggest ill intent, but rather that Dan Lietha is a shitty artist.
Coming from a state with a proximity to the bible belt, occasionally I see various billboards with creationist advertizements. How ever I see way more billboards advertizing fireworks, alcohol, and sex.
I guess its true what they say, fundies can't get enough of their bibles, bang sticks, booze, and boobs. Christianity, the height of morality folks.
Seriously, billboards aren't proof of god, after all, if they were, then bill boards claiming there is no god would be just as true.
Obviously since the two are contradictory, using billboards as proof is less useful then guessing.
Okay, you've got the mechanisms of humor down, but you need to remember that the content matters. For example, while that was a funny pun...some of the humor also comes from the fact that the Christian is apparently an idiot.
There's something fishy about that chap in the yellow shirt.
Besides isn't looking for, and seeing signs a forbidden thing?
As for what it says on an advertising hoarding, such is never to be believed.
more of the same: "We believe in the Bible because it is true, and it is true because we believe in it"!
besides, the believer's not pointing to the billboard: he's pointing to the area above the atheist's head.
Awesome comic,
my only problem was the fact the athiest was standing in the sun as atheist are well known to be hurt by sunlight.
And how will he devour the meat of women and children with those pathetic teeth?
Ok, let's show him a graffitti in Germany that says "Got is tot", you know, God is dead. You know, by this guy's logic, it must be as effective
Here's a sign . And remember: this God has a hammer, Mjolnir...:
image
...your 'God' was nailed to a cross. Any Questions?! >:D
And at least we can see Thor.
And this is a sign...:
image
...that Thor is going back to his Nordic Viking roots, with their presence in Britain. Whilst they included the Houses of Parliament & The Gherkin, I'm surprised they didn't include, say, the (CGI) destruction of the London Eye, the Shard, the O2 and even the Olympic Stadium. Would've been fun, that; but at least we see Thor travelling by Tube:

'Mind the Gap' X3
Well I'm convinced. If a cartoon says there's a billboard that says God is real, but offers nothing in the way of concrete evidence other then anecdotes of someone who believes a God exists and has billboard money and connections to a cartoonist whose characters all vaguely smack of anti-Semitic caricatures, that's good enough for me!
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
