Jamey Tucker’s story on Secular Life has generated a lot of community response. Southern Beale posted this video today sharing some moronic voicemails from Nashvillians.
Hyperlocal blog Enclave took reporter Jamey Tucker to task for what he felt was faith-based bias.
As I said, Tucker’s biased reporting is typical of his history of covering faith-based issues. His comment that the sign advertises the belief that there is no God seems to be designed to incite drama where there may not be any. His bias is probably going to end up as an unintentional fundraising catalyst for a project that otherwise would have had less.
The Nashville Scene’s Pith in the Wind piled on.
Just as amusing is a Channel 2 news report, which seems like it could have run on the Christian Broadcasting Network. (You can see it here.) In the teaser, Bob Mueller says, “A sign meant to drum up attention raises a few eyebrows–the advertisement against religion expected to spark a conversation among the faithful.” Well the advertisement is no more against religion than a sign for a church is against Judaism. But let’s not confuse the situation with facts.
