I know many of you have probably already seen this somewhere else and I'm sure there's another thread around here with the same thing but I just figured it was worth sharing again.
Apparently Metrobuses in Washington D.C. are running a new ad campaign this holiday season, one that speaks a truth that many people don't seem to understand. The message: "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness sake."
The ads were created by the American Humanist Association and plan to put signs on over 200 buses in the city. Surprisingly, The AHA also says that Metro did not hesitate to agree to this.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Good idea? Bad idea? Think they should do this in other places as well? Personally, I think it's not really a bad idea, although it will get quite a lot of "attention". I also think it's awesome that they are running this ad campaign in the nation's capital, which is pretty much my backyard.
If you want to watch the video here it is, there's one more advert on there, but that's more about a billboard in Denver, CO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzAFozYjiz0

D i v i n i t y SaintChaos I think its an interesting sign. And honestly I could care less if it offends radical christian groups, because I KNOW its going to. But the way I see things, as was stated there are manly other religions out there. Basically to me its a sign that says "for once...stop being an a*****e" "for once, its the freaking holidays...stop being a b***h, suck it up, and be nice for once" at least that's how it translates to me. Lol what? how did you get that? There are tons of signs that say "God exists" or signs that talk about God's love etc. I'm not very fond of them but I don't think THOSE signs translate into "stop being an a*****e and love God" or anything like that. I think the atheistic sign just says, basically, "We don't need God to be good. Just be good"
huh? I wasn't condoning the sign. I was merely stating how I translated it metaphorically on a personal level. I got what it was saying, and I agree as you say, we don't need "God" as an excuse to be nice. We should be nice for the sake of being nice. Or in what I said, lol, just stop being an a*****e hahah. There's seriously too many assholes out there. I run into them frequently.
