A little common sense people ...

This might surprise you but I saw this story today in my inbox and I just shook my head.

"You mustn't mention God..."

A Christian campaign group has been banned from pinning up notices about its meetings in libraries or community centres.

The activists were told their posters advertising talks about climate change could not be shown in public because they mentioned Christianity and God.

Officials declared that the flyers for a talk on 'climate change is a Christian issue' and and another by a spokesman for the Christian Ecology Link were in conflict with town hall policy against the promotion of religious ideas.

Now at first blush some might say "Right on" there should be NO mention of god/christianity on public land but seriously folks there needs to be a little common sense used.

I am a firm believer that religious sensitivity needs to work BOTH ways. These folks should be allowed to advertise their rallies, plain and simple.

I'd have a different view of course if they wanted to put up poster advertising their RELIGION but a rally about global warming? Come on ... lets use a little common sense. It's issues like this that give atheists a bad name.
