Believers will be delighted to learn that a pro-God message will be spread around Calgary starting Monday – albeit on the sides of buses and trains – in response to the controversial atheist ads already making the rounds on the city’s public transit.
“God cares for everyone … even for those who say He doesn’t exist!” reads the banner advertisements to be placed on eight buses and two light-rail trains over the next four weeks.
Transit ads will also direct people to the website http://www.godexists.ca, where they can add their voice to the debate.
Those who ran the add should have quoted the Atheist’s slogan correctly. “God cares for everyone … even for those who say He probably doesn’t exist!” Don’t help the unbelieving opposition.
I see the situation as showing how Christians are “Reactionary” instead of “Pro-actionary”*. Instead of acting first and showing the world ‘the better way’, we are too often playing ‘catch-up’ and reacting to the world’s attacks on faith.
