I don't see any tensions on the atheist side.

These tensions seem be on one side, and deliberate, as the Christians booked after the atheists.... who are doing it on Easter week end as they usually have in the past.

I am reminded of an AronRa lecture he's posted on YouTube where he described protests of an atheist convention: Christians on one side and Muslims on the other, both with the same hateful message. I believe he said they were calling for our heads.

Found it. He does say that.

2. So the 'christians' set up a counter-convention just to spite the atheist one?

And who's the negative? Who's causing the tension?

3. They are being so petty.

But I have learned to expect no less.

"Bringing the 'fight' to their backyard." WTF. What fight?

4. I laughed at the headline thinking it was the Onion.

Turns out it's for real and nothing but media hype on that headline.

Anyway , still amusing and liked the comments.

5. I fear for the safety of those Christians

Given the long history of anti-Christian violence by atheists. It goes on everywhere, all the time, you know.

Or so I've heard.

6. This is bible country.

I'm surprised they haven't gotten violent.

7. I agree that the tensions...

seem to be coming from the christians. "Christians say they're unhappy the event is happening so close to Easter." All I can say to that there is nothing they can do about it, the Constitution trumps there religious nonsense.
