Beware of Dogma

It seemed obvious when I posted last month that Hudsonville's god issues were going to be around for a while.

The latest twist is the decision by CBS Outdoors in Grand Rapids to turn down the Freedom From Religion Foundation's attempt to place a billboard saying Beware of Dogma. CBS is primarily in the billboard rental business but they must also have a sideline in censorship faciltation. As paraphrased by the Press, a CBS spokesman said:
"it had been through controversy in the past and community reaction would force the billboard down within a day."

FFRF is working with other billboard companies so this isn't over yet. I suggest they talk to the outfit that ran the "God" series a few years ago - the ones that said things like:
We need to talk - God
Seems to me that if that is OK, Beware of Dogma seems perfectly reasonable.
