Bus Ad Backlash
Atheists in Fort Worth, TX are running ads on busses. What does the advert state? This:
"Millions of Americans are Good Without God" This simple, factual message caused a religious freak-out.
Austin Cline has the reaction.
UPDATE: More from Texas. This time from a parade.
The atheists weren’t insulting anyone, or mocking anyone, or being even remotely threatening to anyone. They weren’t even “influencing” people.
They showed up. That’s the controversy. It just proves that we don’t have to do or say anything to be controversial. Our mere existence is enough to drive some Christians crazy.
