As far as taking "God" out of money, buildings, and our pledge? Why did Christians ADD THAT IN THERE, in the first place? Seems like we got along fine for over 150 years and became the world's most powerful country without God. Then the 1950's roll around, and we decide that we're "one nation under god" and we "trust" god with our money. That's Christianity in a nutshell for you. Take a powerful rival (like communist Russia), turn them into an ideological enemy, and use the resultant fear to force your views on everyone else. The ultra-Christian McCarthy era of censorship and persecution is directly responsible for all of our social ails, today. Our government lost respect and trust. We still, culturally, hate leadership. Every problem we have in America is related to the "every man for himself" mentality that we adopted, when we realized that we couldn't trust anyone in a position of authority. The timeline makes it clear. Institutionally force God on everyone, and our civilization crumbles.
If someone says "Happy Holidays" how is that stifling you? Is Christmas not a holiday? While on the other hand if someone says "Merry Christmas" but is Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Agnostic or any other religion... that term would be incorrect. Happy Holidays is more appropriate. Sorry, but its truth (Christians hate truth). Next up you list God on money, in the pledge and so on. Last time I check God was still on the paper next to my ass. The name also still appears in the pledge. I have no problems with Christians having billboards, television channels and radio stations. What I do have a problem with is this monopoly Christians seem to think they have on America. There is a reason the founding fathers (not all of which were Christian) wanted no declaration of a national religion. They wanted them separate. That is why churches don’t pay taxes and can continue to use that money for Ted Haggard’s speed and butt buddy.
First of all, 86 percent of Americans believing in God does not equate to 86 out of one hundred Christians, some Christians may feel they have a monopoly on god, but they don't. More importantly, that fourteen percent that "Kieffe & Sons Ford" are so ready to discriminate against, well, take a guess at the percentage of black people In America. Give up?Try 13 percent. Now ask them if it's bigotry.
I don't understand why people get so upset about this ad. How many times do people tell Christians to put a sock in it? How many times are Christians directly and indirectly stifled (ie: Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, taking the word "God" off of money, buildings and our Pledge.) Why is it that everyone but "Christians" seem to have free speech? Christians have just as much right to have a Christian billboard or radio ad as the ACLU, United Way, Porn Stores, etc.....
"we at Kieffe & Sons Ford wonder why we don't tell the other 14% to sit down and shut up....." There's also this thing called freedom of religion. Are they saying that because the majority of America calls themselves a Christian, the other 14% are not entitled to their own religion or to speak out against the majorities religion????? Ack* hillbillies......They don't make no darn sense.

F'n embarrassing, and so poorly produced. But it's their business to lose.
