"Why Believe in God" ad campaign

Just saw a news item that illustrates my point about the dangers of moral relativism of Western European Secularism better than I ever could. I should be gleeful about how clear this is if it weren’t so tragic:

The traditional annual Christmas message by the Queen of England is apparently followed up by an “opposing viewpoint” kind of counter message on British TV Ch. 4. You would think that the college educated, highly paid, culturally enlightened Ch. 4 intelligencia would have in their international peer group someone who could articulate a compelling alternate message of compassion and goodwill to that of the outdated, God-associated Queen. You guys on LOT do pretty well, and you have day jobs besides.

So who do they pick for 2008? Mr. Compassion himself:.........Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!

The less educated who only have common sense to rely on, might ask why the execs would make such a wrong choice for their cause of tolerance for alternate views. Oh, but wait, who are they to judge what’s right or wrong? That would be arrogant and presumptuous.

G.K. Chesterton said: “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe in anything”.

And dude, that s**t’s f**ked up right there.
