Atheists launch bus ad campaign

Professor Dawkins gave a personal donation of £5,500 to the campaign

An atheist advertising campaign has been launched on buses across Britain.

A fund-raising drive for the promotion, carrying the slogan "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life", raised more than £140,000.

The campaign, which will also feature on the Tube, is backed by the British Humanist Association and prominent atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins.

The Church of England said Christian faith allowed people to put their life into a "proper perspective".

A spokesman said: "We would defend the right of any group representing a religious or philosophical position to be able to promote that view through appropriate channels.

"However, Christian belief is not about worrying or not enjoying life."

“There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life...”

... but be wary of the dangers of Islam.

How insecure does someone have to be to launch an ad campaign proclaiming the non-existence of something?

Why not an ad campaign stating “Unicorns aren't real,” unless, of course, you are afraid as hell that they may be.

[lodi90]

How about a “There is no Allah” bus ad?

“Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”.

Said the grasshopper to the ant.

Aesop was no fool. Dawkins is.

[texaschick]

His sign made me laugh. “There’s PROBABLY no God”. What if you’re wrong, dude?
What a dumb a**.

[weegee]

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow,
hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la,
live for today
Live for today

These people will not like the results if they succeed in getting God banned from society.

When God is kicked out, thugs and murderers move in. The world will revert back to dog eat dog rule, not by reasonable people, but by the meanest.

Think of a rusty jeep with a 50 cal mounted, a bunch of dirty thugs inside, patrolling their "territories"...or think of MS13 running things.

Even the atheists will be longing for the influence of Christanity.

“There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life...”

#####

These two statements are mutually exclusive.

If there were no God, then we WOULD have nothing but worry.

[Flycatcher]

"There's probably no God. So stop worrying and enjoy your life"

Adolescently smug and glib at the same time.

I guess it never occurred to these "sages" that a devoutly religious person could enjoy life and his humble place in it.

Richard Dawkins irritates the pee out of me.

So what if you don’t believe in God? Why do you make it your campaign to make sure other people don’t either?

And these morons who claim “I don’t want a God that creates ‘religion’” don’t realize they have THE VERY SAME KIND OF RELIGION. Dogma is dogma.

Ole Dawkins will be first in line when his god of knowledge.... shows up first.

How about: there IS a God now go enjoy yourself.

There's probably no God.

But beware of the spaghetti monster!

Professor Dawkins,

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!! A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 min.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.'

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'

Don't know if the above story is true or not .... but I love a story with a happy ending.

How many hospitals have atheists ever built and served in?

How much compassion do these Godophobes genuinely portray?

Could there be any connection?

Help get others to ask questions like that....

A challenge to Hawkins:

By way of logic, if there is probably no god, then the "prophet" was Mohammed was probably crazy. Hence the next advert should read:

Mohammed was probably crazy. If you follow his words, you probably are too. Now go out and enjoy life.
