The humanists' entry into the marketplace of ideas did not impress AFA president Tim Wildmon. ... It's a stupid ad," he said. "How do we define 'good' if we don't believe in God? God in his word, the Bible, tells us what's good and bad and right and wrong. If we are each ourselves defining what's good, it's going to be a crazy world."

Tim, my boy, in case you hadn't looked around lately ... it's already a crazy world.
What he's saying is that he can't afford to consider that there might not be a God, because he is incapable of thinking for himself or making decisions without some father figure to tell him what to do.
Oh, that attitude is so "old paradigm".
Seriously, don't take this guy seriously. He is the son of Donald Wildmon (
link), the founder of the Mississippi-based AFA, or "American Family Association" (
link), which was originally called the National Federation for Decency and was later renamed when "family values" became a politically hot catch-phrase. Religious fringe dwellers who don't have a pair of working brain cells between them. Wildmon was very active in the 70s and 80s, crusading against TV shows and movies.
From the wikipedia entry on Donald Wildmon:

The late comedian George Carlin mentioned Wildmon in his 1988 HBO show What Am I Doing in New Jersey? claiming that Wildmon's opinions influenced the Ronald Reagan Administration to regulate television and radio because he heard things on the radio that "he didn't like". He proceeded to claim that Wildmon did not understand the concept of freedom of choice and advised him to look it up in a library "if [he had] any of them left when [he] finished burning all the books".
