Dawkins’ latest assault on God blunder
Some may have heard the recent news that Richard Dawkins and the British Humanist Association (BHA) have launched a series of billboard advertisements in capital cities which suggest that ‘labelling’ children as Christian, or any other religion for that matter, is a form of brainwashing. You can read the story here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8366225.stm.
But they have made a bit of a blunder; we know who the ‘happy free from religious labelling’ children featured in the ad are. They are none other than Charlotte and Ollie Mason and their Dad is Brad Mason. Brad is Noel Richards drummer.
“It is quite funny” said Brad, “because obviously they were searching for images of children that looked happy and free. They happened to choose children who are Christian. It is ironic… Obviously there is something in their faces which is different. So they judged that they were happy and free without knowing that they are Christians. That is quite a compliment. I reckon it shows we have brought up our children in a good way and that they are happy.”
As Gerald Coates has said: “I think it is hilarious that the happy and liberated children on the atheist poster are in fact Christian.”
