Seems self-explanatory this type of behavior.

First the question does not presuppose god’s existence. It presupposes the assumption that is being made by most religious people, that god is the source of morality?
This is an assumption you too seem to be making when you immediately leap to the old hackneyed assertion that good and bad, without god providing definitions, are all relative. This is not the case. Human ethics can and should be based on compassion and empathy and consciousness of the happiness and suffering of others. I do not need a supreme being or an ancient book to tell me that murder or rape or incest are wrong. What humanist ethics has over imposed morality is an ability to not be absolutist. If god say X is wrong and X happens, those who believe have no qualms in killing the one who committed X even if this person was ignorant of the prohibition or regardless of any circumstance.
To make such claims as these seems to indicate that your belief and fear of god are the only things keeping you from committing horrible acts. When I lost my faith I became a more ethical and moral and less judgemental person. I started living to make a better world for my children and stopped hoping all adherents to other creeds and lifestyles would get killed by god.
As for pot, the moral stance on that is to let leople decide for themselves if they wish to use it. It has medical uses, no known legal dose, is far less dangerous than cigarettes or alcohol and when used in the privacy of ones own home, it hurts no one.

As a native southern Californian, I’ve always been curious about Maine. I’d like to visit.

I can’t imagine there being too much protest over the ad. The recent Ava Worthington case aside, the Pacific Northwest is one of the least religious parts of the U.S., and most folks here just don’t seem to get up in arms about it they way they do in other parts of the country (e.g., as in parts of the Midwest, where I’m from originally). I’ll be curious, though, to hear if there is any significant negative response.
