Religious billboards battle it out in Philly
Given the contentious religious discussion argument going on over at Wakeup Naptown on a post entitled "How common Christianity affects our moral and intellectual integrity", I thought it might be worth telling you about a similar drama that recently played out on some Philadelphia billboards.
The story — at least according to this Philadelphia CityPaper article — goes something like this:
A group calling themselves The Philadelphia Coalition of Reason put up a billboard that read, "Don't believe in God? You are not alone."
As soon as that board went down, a new one was erected in the same spot by a "mysterious group that does not appear in the phone book and has no online presence" calling itself Holy Souls Ministries. The new board implores viewers to "Say one Hail Mary" and features an image of the Virgin Mary levitating a heart between her hands.
Actually, that's really not much of a story. Personally, I prefer the billboard that Pastor Marc Royer put up in Goshen, IN. It reads, "Obama had one. McCain had two. Let me be your crazy reverend."
