I found this in the online version of the Columbus newspaper "The Republic" today. Personally, this both infuriates and deeply saddens me. This is becoming such a common theme. I understand there are those who will totally disagree with me. That's fine. To each his own. Man, it sure is becoming harder for me to swallow though...
Obviously this is a very touchy subject. I posted mainly as an FYI. If a discussion should arise, please discuss politely.
"Atheist group wins approval to put murals on Bloomington buses
Wire Reports
BLOOMINGTON - An atheist group can post "You can be good without God" ads on Bloomington city buses.
An agreement announced Monday evening at the Bloomington Public Transportation Corporation's building ends a federal lawsuit filed in May by the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign.
The Herald-Times of Bloomington says the agreement allows the group to pay standard rate for the ads, which they can post as often, and on as many buses, as they choose.
The transit corporation also agreed to reimburse the ACLU-Indiana for a significant portion of their legal expenses. The transit corporation previously said the proposed ads violated its advertising policy, which bans statements for or against "controversial public issues."
Transit corporation officials were not immediately available for comment."
