During this holiday season, atheists are having their say . . .
So Christians are having their say . . .
From Tuesday’s New York Times:
FORT WORTH — Stand on a corner in this city and you might get a case of theological whiplash.
A public bus rolls by with an atheist message on its side: “Millions of people are good without God.” Seconds later, a van follows bearing a riposte: “I still love you. — God,” with another line that says, “2.1 billion Christians are good with God.”
A clash of beliefs has rattled this city ever since atheists bought ad space on four city buses to reach out to nonbelievers who might feel isolated during the Christmas season. After all, Fort Worth is a place where residents commonly ask people they have just met where they worship and many encounters end with, “Have a blessed day.”
Bless you all, but where, the hardworking staff asks, are the agnostics?
You remember the agnostic’s prayer?
Oh, God (if there is a God), save my soul (if I have a soul)
Well, here’s an updated version:
Oh, God (if there is a God), run my ad (if I have an ad)
They don’t.

A county governing board in Va. tried a novel approach to providing equal time to various religions and nonbelievers. http://theunrulyoflaw.blogspot.com/2010/12/courthouse-display-imbibing-holiday.html. Didn’t get to say hello at last night’s BU festivities. Enjoy the holiday season (or not, as the case may be).
