It’s on several billboards in Dallas and Oklahoma City says Nick Fish of American Atheists
According to Fox News’ Lauren Green, the attention-seeking “American Atheists” are — like they do every year — putting up billboards in cities with large Christian populations.
Nick maintains that the main reason for putting up the anti-Christian billboards in Christian population centers is to “spark a conversation.”
“If you want to call that evangelizing — sure,” Fish told Green on Saturday. “We want to get our foot in the door — we want to spark a debate. We want to have a spirited debate like we are right now, and we want to have that in communities where people just aren’t thinking about that enough.”
What exactly is it that evangelical atheists want Christians to “think about”?
“Atheist voices aren’t being heard,” Fish explained. And “the assumption is everybody is the same.”
“Why take the image of the nativity,” Green asked. “You don’t think that would offend people?”
“The issue isn’t being offended,” Fish replied. “The issue is — again — getting our foot in the door, getting people talking about it. And so the only way to do that sometimes is to be provocative.”
Fish helpfully explained what his group wants Christians to think about: “We want you to think critically about your religion and we want you to think critically about what’s going on and what your preacher is telling you,” he said.
Fish zeroed in on what really chafes atheists about Christians. They “threaten” him with “eternal damnation,” he said.
“There’s a little bit of an imbalance there in what people see as offensive,” Fish added, laughing.
And remember. it’s the Winter Solstice that started the whole thing with candles and fires during the longest, darkest days of the year, . . . In the Northern Hemisphere. . . . . . It’s the opposite in the Southern half of the earth. It’s Summer down there which is the longest, brightest time of the year…. So the darkness depends on where on earth you are.
