From London comes a news photo of the start of an atheist bus campaign. I mean, a bus can’t BE an atheist, but they have signs saying, “THERE’S PROBABLY NO GOD…”
Uh-huh. Notice the word “probably.” Meanwhile, London is a huge city with double-decker buses.
This is a city of mean seasons. When London’s Sudden Lightning Season starts, do YOU want to be on the upper level of a God-denying bus?
And there’s Falling Anvil season, Buzz-Saw Decapitation Season, Flying Rabid Schnauzer Season…
Are you really feeling THAT lucky? As for me, I think I’ll “probably” just take another bus.

Hmm, perhaps a better phrase would be “there’s no supporting evidence for the existence of a god”

- Posted by SharonAccording to the Bible, denying the existance of the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin that ensures your everlasting damnation in Hell.
So… since I decided at a very early age that I did not believe in the existence of God, Jesus (at least as the son of any deity) or the Holy Spirit (these names I capitalize for the sake of those believers out there who are picky about this sort of thing), apparently I have no chance at redemption.
So how do I go about getting one of those T-shirts? What do I have to lose?
- Posted by SeanTechnically, this is actually an ‘agnostic’ campaign, rather than atheist. Agnostics acknowledge the possibility of God, so saying there’s PROBABLY no God acknowledges that there is the possibility of God. She should have just said, ‘There is no God’. Conversely, that would infer that there is no Devil either, which could seriously hamper enjoying life. I think I would have spent the advertising money buying a round of beer.
