Ohhhhh Brother No. 32: Celebrate Reason? Sounds Stupid!

Thanks to Scott Baker at The Blaze, I just found out the organization American Atheists has had a billboard in New Jersey put up in an attempt to motivate atheists to stop celebrating Christmas.  The billboard reads, “You KNOW it's a Myth; This Season, Celebrate REASON!”

Now aside from the glaring omission of claiming the Jewish observation of Hanukkah and the Islamic observation of Eid are myths, I find it funny to see this organization trying to get other atheists to celebrate human reason.  When I contemplate our universe, our planet, the ecosystems which exist, the animal species which have existed and still exist, the forms of plant life which exist, the intricacies of the human body and the history of mankind through the millennia, I find the idea of God not existing to require a far greater leap of faith than to believe in the existence of God.

They may call it being reasonable, but I call it being stupid!

And without further adieu, Ohhhhh brother!
