Buses with the controversial slogan could be on the roads from January Posted on 10/23/2008 10:45:56 AM PDT by BGHater
Buses with the slogan 'There's probably no God' could soon be running on the streets of Britain.
The atheist posters are the idea of the British Humanist Association (BHA) and have been supported by prominent atheist Professor Richard Dawkins.
The BHA planned only to raise £5,500, which was to be matched by Professor Dawkins, but it has now raised more than £20,300 of its own accord.
It aims to have two sets of 30 bendy-buses carrying the signs for four weeks in London.
As the campaign has raised more than anticipated, it will also have posters on the inside of buses as well.
The BHA is also considering extending the campaign to cities including Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh.
The complete slogan reads: 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'
Professor Dawkins said: 'Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children.
'Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side.

Atheism is the new state religion in Europe.
Its followers sure do act like hardcore fundamentalists too.
The British atheists have been hanging out with the current Anglican leadership too much.
Probably? I guess he’ll find out when hes burnin in hell!
Welllll..I beg to differ...
It could have just as well said....”What if...there PROBABLY is a GOD?”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLO!!!!!
UK Muslims ain’t going to like this...Those people experiment with the afterlife everyday...
“Why would someone be so worried about people who have Faith?”
because they want to behead people, blow themselves up, and impose this on others?
I am thinking this is as much targetted at muslims as anyway, given where the buses are.
“Probably”
LOL. You know how pesky those absolute kind of statements are for atheists.
I’ll help with this
Prominent almost completely atheist Professor Richard Dawkins rather supports a bus campaign which might tell passengers: ‘Absolutely, there’s probably no God. Now maybe you should stop worrying and perhaps enjoy your life if you think that is a good idea’
Oh my science!
And why was it we left that region again?
Hmmm....
The use of ‘probably’ is pretty smart, ya gotta admit. Chicken shiite, but smaret. I mean, what if there is God and it pisses God off to say there is no God? Hedge those bets, boys!
UK....it is very unattractive to say such things about the Lord!
Psalms 147:1
1. Praise the LORD!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
And that poor Richard! ... The English Muzzies won’t like this one bit!
“In other news, God has not yet given up believing in Professor Dawkins”
Jury’s still out on that one, my friend.
Reminds me of the truck I saw with its company name on the side:
“Adequate Fire Protection”
Because others having faith threatens their ability to do as they please without worrying what others think.
So called “liberal” thought is only open minded so long as everyone else agrees. These folks can’t survive without total agreement from everyone. It’s the pinnacle of insecurity.
Yeah, Dawkins eats ‘good enough dog food’, but who really gives a pile of dog doo? The poor thing is so desperate for attention don’tchaknow.
