I still have to love this argument....

"How do we define 'good' if we don't believe in God? God in his word, the Bible, tells us what's good and bad and right and wrong. If we are each ourselves defining what's good, it's going to be a crazy world."
Because God is the only way any one can know it's wrong to murder someone.

Those displays are dandy. Maybe there really is a War on traditional christmas as some of the paranoid fundamental christian's may think.

why would you think there is? I'd see these more as a response to those charges than anything else, not to mention the idea of a traditional christmas isn't really christian.

God does not exist. Those that perpetuate the strange concept of an all powerful master are either stupid or evil. I generally believe they are both. C'mon people, just be nice to each other... The Humanists that posted these adverts are probably just as sick and tired as me of living in a world where all the voodoo religions of the world are constantly rammed down your throat. Try life without God, it's easy!!

i think that religion isnīt basically bad...but whatīs really bad is Church and bigotry...Because if you look back into history, the most people died due to some clerical enmity or some "superrior idea".

Everybody should have his own "God" in his mind. Because i really dontīt need some religious God to know, that to kill someone is bad.

By my opinion, and please forgive, religion as i know it, is for weak people.

Saying that there is no god and that one should be generous to others for humanistic purposes seems to conflict with every fundamentalist christian's "reason for the season".

yes, but the reality is that jesus wasn't born in december and was never the reason the for the season. The reality is that the actual traditions around christmas have very little to do with christ at all.

yes, the absolute majority of people celebrate Christmas not because of some religious occasion, but because ouf tradition. "Modern" Christmas have nothing to do with Christianity. Itīs just an occasion to meet your family and celebrate a few days of yule-tide. But sometimes is very hard to relax during the Christmas madness :-)

this trend makes me ridiculously happy.

For years and years the conservative pundits in america were accusing people of attacking christmas and I think it's awesome that people actually are now and doing so in a way to let people know that while yes, christianity is the dominate religion in the US, it doesn't make it it the only one and it doesn't make it right.

There are signs all around Kingston that say "Keep Christ in Christmas"

As long as it's cool for Christian associations to pay for ads on the sides of buses I have absolutely no problem with it.

I haven't seen any, but [I'd imagine it's ok.

I have a strong feeling the ACLU or one of those sort of organizations would stand against it.


And this


"How do we define 'good' if we don't believe in God? God in his word, the Bible, tells us what's good and bad and right and wrong. If we are each ourselves defining what's good, it's going to be a crazy world."

Is a weak argument. A little TOO weak. I smell a spin but I also know how Christians can be. I am one but damned if I'm not well aware of how many complete tools there are in churches.


I think the British have a much better slogan. I really would like to see them become even more honest with themselves and everyone else/agnostic and stop trying to tell people what to think and do:


There may or may not be a God. Have a happy December [if you want].

I can hardly see how they're *telling people what to think and do*. Those ads just might push someone to think twice about the topic. These ads don't look to me like they're telling people what to think and do at all.

you mean where christians begin accepting that jesus wasn't born in december and as is the case with a lot of christian history that it's based on coercion and lies?
