Humanists' 'holiday' ads attack God, Bible

The American Humanist Association is going for the ugly -- in the name of no God.

Their newly announced 200,000 advertising campaign ditches last year's fairly benign good-without-God approach and rips into the nastiest quotes it can cherry-pick from Scripture. It's an attempt, says their web site... to challenge the intolerant view that atheist and agnostic humanists can't be good without Bible derived morality. We're taking a hard look at what is included in religious texts.

So they'll contrast this passage from Hosea 13:16...

"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground; their pregnant woman ripped open." with a quote from Albert Einstein (and other "non-theist luminaries such as Katharine Hepburn and Richard Dawkins").

7. What a ridiculously distorted article, I read the press release,

I read the ads (and this Christian knows there's plenty to be ashamed of in the HB) and that article is a call-out for the most narrow-minded of "believers."

My mind and my heart are still open and that damn article is simply full-on distortion.
