Professor Richard Dawkins told the launch ceremony that the existence of God was as likely as the tooth fairy
The campaign was conceived by Ariane Sherine, a comedy writer who dreamed of just one bus going around London with an atheist slogan after she saw a similar advertisement for Christianity on the back of a bus.

There are some stories that end in death AND have a happy ending ... such as a burglar fatally shot by a homeowner.
Former Ma. governor Mike Dukakis once pushed through legislation that the homeowner had to flee his own house ... I like my ending better.
Quoting from your post (#52):
"His lie is told in the interest of "unity".
My denial of the unity of all of the world’s religions is an uncomfortable statement to make in the politically correct world. All cultures are NOT equal.
He simply said that all religions pray to the same God. This may or may not be true, but there's not way to objectively know. It's not a "historic falsehood", it's simply an opinion.
The statement you quoted makes no comment about the relative equalities of various cultures, only about the ultimate destination of prayers.

I don't have the slightest problem with a homeowner killing a burglar. I encourage it.
What does this have to do with the fact that you applaud the beating of a professor because you don't like his religious point of view?
Millions died at the hands of Nietzsche’s Superman.
Yawn.
Revelation 3:16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Isn't that a bit redundant? :-)
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Welcome to FR.
Islam comes from a moongod. Not the God of Judeo-Christians. And Buddism, Hinduism, etc. have totally separate (and polytheistic) traditions.
What if that made them "happy"? If it feels good, do it, right?
Indeed, how could anything really be "better" than anything else, if everything reduces to matter in motion?
Atheism is one gigantic reductionist error.
I guess I should also point out that Manson is not in jail for killing anyone. He didn’t even enter the homes in the Tate/LaBianca murders.
Bugliosi concocted a conspiracy theory in which Manson “programmed” an eleborate drama constructed around the Beatles’ White Album to bring about “Helter Skelter”. Without the conspiracy charge, he wouldn’t have been able to pin charges on Charlie.
These days Vincent is making the case that GW Bush should be charged with murder. The man is a loon.
You confuse desire with conscience.
No.
It's just the inability to believe in fantasies.
His do-unto-others-then-split philosophy has heavily influenced modern schooling. Just look at college and university curricula today. At the very least, his me-first nihilism has contributed to the global slaughter of countless pre-born children.
OBAMA: Being out of alignment with my values.
That is not an ill-considered statement, and it should send a shiver down the spine of anyone with half a brain.
Sorry but that won’t pass for an adequate response.
Exactly. What is it with atheists (and vegetarians) where they feel compelled to let everyone know that they're an atheist? (Or vegetarian.)
I have yet to meet an atheist or vegetarian who isn't all "Look at meeeeee" about it.
I do? What's different about conscience?
If conscience reduces to my own beliefs, why can't I change it?
If you thought Nietzsche was an idiot, and if your cousin took your lead, and not only thought Nietzsche was an idiot; but went ahead and killed him for thinking that he was an idiot, are you to blame for Nietzsche’s death, or your cousin?
Well some folks are proud to be wrong I guess...
Thank you.
Islam comes from a moongod. Not the God of Judeo-Christians.
The three primary Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. They're certainly related to one another.
And Buddism, Hinduism, etc. have totally separate (and polytheistic) traditions.
I agree. This does not preclude someone (such as President Bush) from believing that all prayers ultimately reach the same God.
