“Why believe in a god?  Just be good for goodness’ sake” is an ad campaign launched by The American Humanist Association that will run on Washington DC buses through the month of December.

Naturally, Christians are livid.  In Washington, over the past five years, conservative Christian groups (such as the American Family Association and the Catholic League) have ramped up efforts to criticize and threaten boycotts of retailers who use generic “holiday” greetings.

So what exactly is a “humanist” you ask?  Well, it’s “a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism, affirms our responsibility to lead ethical lives of value to self and humanity.”

So… what the AD campaign seeks to do, is to instill a sense of morality to non-Christian people.  How on earth could that put-off Christians?  Seems “Christians” would want to promote the idea to introduce who they seek/define their guidance from.

“It’s a stupid ad,” the American Family Association said. “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.”

Silly Christians.  There’s 1 BILLION people living in China that don’t believe in anything similar to your definition of “God”.  Are they all doomed to hell with no concept of the Bible’s definition of good and bad, right and wrong?
