A bit of a google found this coment about Lifelinking's first billboard post:
AN INNER-CITY Auckland church, trying to promote debate over Christianity, has given up on a controversial billboard which made international headlines.
The billboard, featuring a dejected Joseph and a quizzical Mary in bed, with the message, ''Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow'', has been attacked four times since it was erected outside the Anglican church on Thursday.
After the latest attack, by an elderly woman with a knife, the church said the billboard would not be replaced.
The vicar of St Matthew-in-the-City, Glynn Cardy, said: ''[The billboard was] attacked by a knife-wielding Christian fanatic who was then apprehended by a group of homeless people who care about our church. Later in the evening, another group of fanatics ripped it down.
''When knives are wielded in the name of God, I have two responses. One is to act to ensure the safety of the public and parishioners … My second response is one of deep sadness at those in the Christian church who don't want to offend any faith position, even the most literalistic view of a male god. By having unity as their priority, they inadvertently feed fanaticism.''
Quite an interesting response from the priest.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

and this loathsome piece of bigotry
put up by this bastion of cultivated ignorance Americans for Truth about Homosexuality. Be warned. Visiting this link may raise your blood pressure.
(Sorry, this is in the comedy club area and there is not much funny about these people - even if they are well justified targets for ridicule.)

I'm really pleasantly surprised that these billboards (the slightly mocking ones, that is. Not the rabid homophobic ones) are being erected by faith groups. It makes a refreshing change.

I agree Getreal. It is good to know that there are some more thoughtful folk among the believers.

I'm sorry. I'm getting a little carried away.
