As ever, Stephen Green of “Christian Voice” teeters perilously on the brink of self-parody, arguing that the Atheist Bus Campaign banners breach advertising regulations on grounds of… evidence.
In response to offensively fire-and-brimstoney religious groups’ ads on the sides of London buses, a comedian started a campaign to run ads saying “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” After 24 hours, they’ve exceeded their desired £5,500 goal… by almost £40,000!
Excellent commentary by Penn Jillette on atheism. This is my “belief system” too.
“Believing there is no God means the suffering I’ve seen in my family, and indeed all the suffering in the world, isn’t caused by an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent force that isn’t bothered to help or is just testing us, but rather something we all may be able to help others with in the future. No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future.”
