Of all the persuasive means in the history of rhetoric, you know that there has never been a very successful person shouting "you are wrong" to the people on the other side of the debate ".
But that didn't stop a group called the answer to Genesis from launching digital billboards in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles this week, announcing to all of our atheist friends, "Thank goodness, you're wrong.
"This message is full of confidence and provocation, attracting a lot of news reports.
But does that mean it works, and someone will really stop and say, "Well, let's try this creation thing!
The New York Times pointed out that in times square, 15-
The second video played on the Billboard barely caught people's attention. -
There is no doubt that it is submerged in the excess of the retina.
Challenge sensory overload
The billboard is the idea behind evangelical leader Ken Hamm and his family in creating the museum's "Bible"
Sure, create-
Based on the "group" of "commitment", provide answers to the questions around the book Genesis, because it is the most-
A book that attacks the Bible.
On Wednesday, Hamm explained to CNN the message he gave to atheists, saying: "The Bible says it's about fighting for faith.
We think we should come up with something that makes a statement in the culture, a bold statement and direct them to our website.
We don't object to them [atheists]personally.
We don't want to attack them, but we believe they are wrong.
From the perspective of atheists, they believe that when they die, they will no longer exist.
And we said, 'No, you will not cease to exist;
With or without God, you will always be with God.
If you are an atheist, you will spend it without God.
"It is foreseeable that Dave Silverman, president of the American atheist, did not agree with the sentiment, saying," they refuse to look at the real world.
They refused to look at our evidence and did not provide it.
They may say, "Thank you Zeus, you are wrong" or "thank you Thor, you are wrong ".
"Just like Ikea has already decorated in yuletide swag, it seems that Ham and his happy Ark builders band are trying to jump ahead of time during the holidays.
In this tradition of rapidly becoming seasonal, it is clear that the Christmas war will again be carried out with great letters, it was finished before people drove to work or went to Guy Filey's for bacon mac 'n cheese.
Three years ago, American Atheists spent £ 20 on vacation.
The theme billboard at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey says, "you know it's a myth.
Celebrate the reason for this season!
A Christian group quickly accepted the challenge and shot its own billboard announcing, "you know it's true: Celebrate Jesus this season . ".
Last year, American atheists erected a billboard in Times Square with Santa Claus and Jesus on it and asked for "keep happy! Dump the Myth!
So perhaps the answer in Genesis is that they need a preemptive strike against American Atheists.
Silverman's organization is ready to retaliate.
"They are putting down the challenge and we are picking it up," he told CNN, adding that his team is ready to use it to "hit their faces ".
Oh, that will open their hearts.
It is evident from their petty nyah tactics that neither organization is genuinely interested in promoting a dialogue of mutual respect, or in participating in what Pope Francis calls an amazing ally of atheists, let everyone have the space to "follow goodness and fight evil while imagining evil ".
"Although we don't want a group of creatives to have an informed debate, no one needs to go to so-
Call friends and tell them they are wrong too.
Guys, just say whatever you want.
Spend a lot of money to do it. (
The answer to the Genesis campaign will cost the organization $150,000 to $200,000. )
But thankfully, none of us care.
