12. His previous commentary on the bus ads is worth a read too.

Christians Outraged at Ad that Reveals Atheists Can Be Good

I particularly appreciate these two paragraphs.

It's curious that Christian leaders consider it an "insult" for atheists to say that they can be good people merely because of the time of the year. Do theists own December? No. Do Christians own December? No. So why should atheists retreat to a closet and refrain from announcing their existence, much less announcing that they aren't evil, merely because it's December?

Just how delicate and fragile are the sensibilities of Christians that they would consider it an "insult" to learn in December that atheists not only exist, but can in fact be moral human beings? Just how insecure must Christians be in their beliefs that they consider it an "attack" whenever it is announced that non-Christians exist and that being a Christian isn't necessary?
