A small city in heavily Christian northern Florida is about to become home to the first public monument in the United States dedicated to atheism.

Florida members of American Atheists, a national advocacy group, plan to erect a 1,500-pound granite display in front of the Bradford County Courthouse in Starke, Fla., next month, opposite a controversial year-old display of the Ten Commandments outside the same courthouse.

"We'd rather there be no monuments at all, but if they are allowed to have the Ten Commandments, we will have our own," said Ken Loukinen, the director of regional operations for American Atheists who designed the monument.

This is a terrible idea, especially to do this in north Florida. That monument will be in pieces the first day it's displayed. People can't even have a "COEXIST" bumper sticker on their car without having some bible thumper vandalizing it.

I believe in...

The earth revolves around the sun.
The earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
Our universe is about 13 billion years old.
In seperation of church and state.
That science education is important and practical.
That religion does more harm than good.
That mysticism has had its day and should be abandoned.

Just to name a few.
 
Atheists taking it too far. Reading the article and its looking like this is just being done out of spite.
At this point, you letting the religious folk bring you down to their level.
