-God
Who's seen these billboards? We have them in Mississippi, thanks to the bible belt extremists. But I want to know what makes it okay for groups to make billboards like that? Because I'm pretty positive God didn't say that.
Don't put words in my God's mouth, thanks.

They do make me laugh a lot, so at least they're good for something.

I don't know everything God said. Neither do the idiots making these billboards.
But I don't think he says things like, "Don't make me come down there."

If you were a believer, it would take quite a bit of gall to claim to be speaking for god.

We have them here in Texas. They are put up by a rich businessman.
Why is that any different from the PETA billboards or billboards for political office or even billboards for advertising? They are all expressing a point of view or selling something. Surely that is still a right we have in the United States.

You need to be more specific. I can't recall any of those billboards that go against scripture.
There are no civil laws that could be interpreted so as to make the billboards illegal.
I doubt that the billboards are meant to be seen as direct quotes from God, but instead they are posted to make people think about their lives and their relationship to God.

I thought he was everyone's god, not just yours, stop being selfish. Second off, freedom of speach, and the money to pay for it makes it ok to put up billboards like that. If you don't like it, don't pay attention to them. You know what they say about being positive? Answer: Only fools are positive.

personally, i don't believe that any religious groups, or non/anti-religious groups for that matter, should be allowed to post things like that on a billboard. they may believe those things, but that doesn't mean that everyone does. no person should ever have to be persecuted because of their religious beliefs. some people may find things like the billboards that have religious messages on them to be offensive.
why can't everyone just put there differences aside and get along? can't people just stop trying to force their beliefs on others and just move on with their lives?

Ha ha, you live in the bible belt. Are they spending tax money on them? If not then they have the right to say whatever wingnuttery they want.
Tell you what. Rent your own billboard and post the negative confessions from the Egyptian book of the dead. Then finish with "Why did Moses leave out thou shalt not be arrogant"?
For those without a clue. The 'commandments' came from the Egyptian book of the dead. Only Moses left out about 30 of them.

Oh oh, I have a better one from the book of the dead "Thou shalt terrorize none." Wouldn't that strike a chord.

Read Exodus 20. The phrase "Thou shall not" appears quite often. As far as putting them on billboards, that comes down to freedom of speech which I'm glad we do have in America.

It is all clear in the 10 commandments. It is a complete lists of all the things that God knows we human would be doing in these life. God thought of all the sins we creatures are capable of doing. It is a guide that we should follow to lead a good life.

The funny thing is, if a Wiccan group were to buy billboard space that said something like "Blessed be" or "An it harm none, do as ye will" how quickly do you think the Christians would be demanding it be taken down?
And yet some Christians have the gall to claim that they're being "repressed" and "discriminated against"?

Obviously you've never read the Bible, but you feel knowlegeable enough to critique it? Go figure! "Thou shalt not" is in the Bible many times as God gives His commandments to us. We didn't put words in God's mouth, He spoke very clearly.
