Atheists are "reaching out" to other atheists via billboards. Terry McDonald, the unbeliever behind the billboards, says that he would like for Christians to know that "we're pretty much the same as they are." Mr. McDonald unwittingly affirms what God has said all along -- "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is none righteous, no, not one." The only thing that differentiates one sinner from another is his relationship to Jesus.
The message on their billboards is quite enigmatic. It says, "Don't believe in God? You are not alone."
If the atheists are right, and there is no God, then, they are indeed alone. So the answer does not logically follow the question. However, the answer is right on target -- God has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Who knew the atheists could be right!
By the way, I thought the timing of this article in The Dallas Morning News was really appropriate. What better day to publicize atheism than April Fools Day?
