Enough with the Advertising

The American Humanist Association is spending 40K for a holiday ad campaign. Their slogan, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake." Clever but not surprisingly, it lacks any true understanding of why people believe in God. Asked about the timing, the spokesman said "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion." We think the humanists are just trying to pick a fight with the Keep Christ in Christmas people. BC can do without all of them. There are genuinely lonely people around, they are not going to feel any less lonely from reading a slogan on a bus or getting a card that says Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. Take the 40k and add it to whatever to wacky Christians spend on their campaigns and buy a bunch of presents for kids who don't have any or feed people or buy coats for the homeless people who sleep below the ads in the DC bus shelters. Whatever, just stop the bickering and the ads, for goodness sake.
