Saying you should just be good for goodness' sake.
Why they're doing this, I don't know. It's not any more obnoxious than when Christians do it, you know. HONestly.
Though, on the other hand...
In mid-October, the American Family Association started selling buttons that say "It's OK to say Merry Christmas." The humanists' entry into the marketplace of ideas did not impress AFA president Tim Wildmon.
"It's a stupid ad," he said. "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."
All I can say to that is that Tom Wildmon is clearly nothing more than a petty-minded individual who seems opposed to the concept of people taking responsibility for their own actions and who doesn't want to live in the real world, messy and crazy and full of opposing moralities as it is. (That's the *polite* version.) The original could be said in four words, two of which was his name.
