Now there's an interesting thought. I wonder what would have happened if an "over enthusiastic" atheist employee had put a message up saying something like God is a man made construct and Muhammed pinched the made up torah and bible to invent their own religious construct? Any panty twisting going on or what? No, because that is obviously provocative. I think every group (even racists) should be allowed their free speech so long as it's not insulting or inflammatory. A suitable 'hadith' for atheists could be something like "No one can prove life after death. The only certainty is life itself". There was nothing provocative in the King's Cross message. Atheists and anti-Islamists have just taken the words and twisted it into something else entirely. That depends entirely on what one's definitions of insulting and inflammatory are. I don't consider me staying religion is a man made construct to be insulting. You might I don't. Someone might find reading about being a sinner and having to repent a bit insulting. Again I don't but can see how it can be construed that way. But this all misses the point. All religions get their celebratory holiday messages put up. Nobody gives a shit. Then you get this message in a non religious setting for the Muslim community. What next? The catholics, the Jews, the Hindus, want their messaging up next to even the playing field. Nothing, certainly in my case, to do with anti Islam. Although I refuse to accept that Islam doesn't have a very grave problem with Islamists. So strange you refer to anti Islamists because you should very much be anti Islamist. They seek to do great damage to this country.

Plaiting fog now You really are a fucking idiot Wishing someone happy Easter is totally different to a train organisation telling me I’m going to hell if I don’t repent my sins and acknowledge a man coming back from the dead two days after getting stoned nailed and stabbed to death You’ve just made yourself look like a fool now. It’s a Muslim hadith, so why would it be referring to Jesus?! (Islam acknowledges Jesus as a prophet of God btw). And where was the reference to Hell? Can you actually read? To me the message is simple. All people are prone to doing bad things. But those who show remorse for the wrong things they do are on a path to better things. I’m bemused why the atheists are getting their panties in a twist about this. And if you can’t see that it’s the same regardless of Islam Christianity or any other religion then you are are as stupid as me

How about keeping sacred messages for sacred spaces maybe? Unfortunately the world has to walk past those sacred places. Yesterday I clocked the innocuous "Let God into your life" on a board for all to see outside a Methodist chapel as I walked to the bar next door but some of the messages that you see are not so innocuous.

What's offensive about letting Mark Stein into your life?
