CatherineM Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Good for him. It sounds like his employer is going to be supportive, which surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithLuin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I like how they found someone at the agency sponsoring the ad to act all shocked and "I don't know what his problem is..." when the whole [i]point[/i] of the buses was as a reaction to Christian ads that bothered/annoyed atheists.

CatherineM Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I was kind of surprised that the Methodists didn't have a problem with the whole thing. Are they willing to bend over even to atheists in order to be open and accepting of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithLuin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 No, I think it was more of a 'Bring it on - this ad will make people think about God, which is what we want them to do.' The more you raise questions (especially with that 'probably' in there) the more they see room for evangelization opportunities, conversations at the water cooler, etc. They knew the atheist group was doing it to be all in your face, 'Take that,' so they decided to not get mad or react to spite them .

bonkers Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Does this mean atheist bus drivers should be allowed to refuse to drive buses with christian messages on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they don't have to say "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'd actually prefer to drive a bus with that on the side of it. What an easy way to get people into a conversation about the one true faith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
