Those of faith have shelled out the money needed to rent billboard space in Times Square for a New Year’s message aimed at who they’ve deemed the “intolerant liberals” — one that bluntly thanks God for America’s freedoms.
The message — “To all our intolerant liberal friends: Thank God for Freedom” — was put up by Ken Ham and his group, Answers in Genesis. The message will flash on the Times Square digital billboard for an estimated 16 seconds, The Blaze reported.
“As you’re watching the ball drop at Times Square on New Year’s Eve on TV, our brand new animated digital billboard message of freedom will be playing right there,” Mr. Ham said on his Facebook page. “The board’s message is meant to confront and challenge people about threats to America’s freedom of religion and freedom of speech — and publicly and unashamedly stand for the gospel message that the Cross (shown on the board) represents.”
His hope is to counter the message of atheists who say that there is no place in modern-day America for God, The Blaze reported.
The message is also going to be shown in other cities around the nation, the news outlet said.
