Sioux Falls Atheists and Humanists push billboard campaign

[MineralMan]

14. Well, I rarely see any useful messages on billboards, so

I tend to ignore them. I'm not sure what antitheists are up to, though. I'm bored with such things, really. What people believe or disbelieve about deities and such things rarely has any impact on me, frankly.

However, the message that the Bible has been used to support slavery is a valid one. It has. I find that appalling, from a humanistic point of view. It's a misuse of old writings, really, as are many things. As people have gained considerable knowledge over the past few millennia, most have discarded what incorrectly passed for knowledge long ago. Most have done that. Not all, sadly, which leads to all sorts of misunderstandings and friction.

Foolish people with all sorts of issues to promote use billboards in foolish ways. Your original post illustrated one of those ways. We could do that all day, since foolish ideas often are expressed in public. However, I fail to see where it leads to any reasonable discussion in most cases.
