atheists send a message
Sunday, 11 January 2009
For those who haven’t heard, there is an advertising campaign in London right now speaking out against God and religion. The NewYorkTimes has an article on it, which reports what is going on.
It is an interesting contrasting article to yesterday’s link to Christianity Today’s cover story “Jesus isn’t a Brand”.
What is most surprising is the lack of contraversy that it is arousing. I like what my church denomination has to say, “[t]he Methodist Church, for instance, said it welcomed the campaign as a way to get people to talk about God.”
It is definitely interesting that people would go to such strong measures, simply being a reactionary public statement against religious propaganda. I wonder if I should be sad or happy that they would be a group angry enough with or at least appalled by Christians that they would have to have such an organized public statement.
