HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) - Two atheist groups will soon be putting up a billboard to protest a state House resolution proclaiming 2012 the "Year of the Bible."
Ernie Perce of American Atheists Inc. said the Bible is the most hateful book on Earth. His group and the organization Pa. Non-Believers are putting up a billboard that shows an African American man with a slave yoke around his neck. At the top of the billboard is a quote from the book of Colossians in the Bible that says, "slaves, obey your masters."
Perce says it's passages like that one that turned him against the Bible and persuaded him to quit his job as a minister and become an atheist.
"We believe the fastest way for any race of Christians to become an atheist is to just pour through the Bible," Perce said. "The Bible will drive you to atheism."
