I’m overwhelmed by the irony of religious individuals committing crimes to proclaim the morality of religion. Once again, one of our most non-confrontational billboards has been vandalized. The billboard reading “Millions are good without God” in Moscow, Idaho had the ‘out’ in ‘without’ painted over with blue paint:

The statement being made is arguably true: millions of people are good with God – or at least with a belief in God, which is typically the issue in question. (One could argue that, because there are no gods, everyone good on Earth is good without God.) But to vandalize a peaceful message and stifle our free speech is not… what’s the word I’m looking for here… good.
Either the perpetrators know they’re doing a bad deed or they believe what they’re doing is good. Which is scarier?
At least some good will come of this: even more publicity and more conversation on the role of religion in morality.
