[A Washington pastor responds to the controversial atheist sign at the Washington State Capitol's holiday display.]

The controversy over the anti-religion sign prompted Rev. Ken Hutcherson, pastor of the Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, to post a pro-religion sign about 15 feet from where the atheist sign was located.

It reads: "There is one God. There is one Devil. There are angels, a heaven and hell. There is more than our natural world. Atheism is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

The sign is a toned-down version of his first draft, which, according to Hutcherson, was to read, '"Hey, I believe in Jesus Christ and if you don't, that's OK because you're going to fry like a Jimmy Dean pure pork sausage on Judgment Day."'

"But that would be just as derogatory as the atheist sign," Hutcherson said.
