		<description>&quot;Be good for goodness&#039; sake&quot; is an excellent message. Then regrettably the AHA weakens its impact by introducing meaningless talk of an undefined &quot;God.&quot; Humanism is NOT about gods at all. Humanism is a process of ETHICS, not a metaphysical conclusion; not about &quot;God&quot; but about what is human.</description>

		<description>Hi Gang,

. . . and an eight-year-old on the bus sees the Atheist message and begins to think and realize that there is a bigger world, and other views of that world!!!! So far, every comment I have read and heard is so intensely personal that no one considers the audience. I guess it is just a matter of Atheists and Christians being so full of themselves that they don&#039;t even take the time to realize that some one is watching. To the Christians, its their god, and he is not pleased. To the Atheists, it is the children, and they have to wonder what all this angst is about anyway!!!! Frame the message for the kids and you communicate with everybody. And the intellectual wannabees should stand aside and quite impressing themselves, impress the kids!!!!</description>

		<description>Excellent, the Christian ad sop obviously references the atheist ad that it is bound to raise awareness for the atheist ad even more.

However believing because we are apparently created and loved isn&#039;t a reason.  I know I was born and not made so that point is moot.  Claiming to be loved is also moot.  Where is the evidence? I didn&#039;t even get a Christmas card from any of the gods last year, some loving father figure.  I know of dead beat dads who love more.

Christian ad FAIL.</description>
