It's not that hard...

Christians and other religious types can’t seem to fathom how to be good without being told what good is. Do they just lack common sense? Are they missing a gene for basic human empathy? Are they intellectually retarded?

Further proof that religion is not evil, it’s just dumb.

“Humanists have always understood that you don’t need a god to be good,” said AHA executive director Roy Speckhardt. “So that’s the point we’re making with this advertising campaign. Morality doesn’t come from religion. It’s a set of values embraced by individuals and society based on empathy, fairness, and experience.”

Tim Wildmon, president of American Family Association, which has encouraged its three million member base to boycott businesses that censor Christmas, described the ad as “stupid”. He says he cannot understand the logic of the ad’s message telling people to be good apart from a belief in God.

“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,” said Wildmon, according to Fox News.

Yeah, it’s crazy to think for yourself… What a concept! With christians running the country we can’t even be trusted to marry someone we love without a definition in the constitution!
