O RLY?

I'd bring a church choir and sing hymns.:x

Even though im arguing from the other side of this, i would have to partake in this activity just for the irony it would create.

Ah, let's just hold a freakin' congregation on that bus! Hymns, baptism, Bibles, sermons, and once we reach the stop, JESUS CAKE!

Well, I think it's a little tactless. I mean, I don't see Christians advertising their churches with, "Believe in God, or you're burn in Hell." Makes the rest of us athiests look bad if you ask me.JustPlainLucas

Bah, Judas isn't worthy of a cake. We'll make a Judas pie.

Also, the statement: ''..and enjoy yourself" is not completely inaccurate.

People discard various pleasures because it is prohibited by their particular religion or belief systems.

BTW, I find it grossly hypocritical that there is all this uproar over one atheist advert despite the innumerable religious advertisements.

This will always depend on whom you talk to. In my view, the statement is not correct. Would you care to name some of these so called joys you are thinking of?

[QUOTE="elfimis"]

This is two-sided and your making it one sided. Its the exact same thing as when christians promote and go door to door cause they feel your in danger of going to "hell" because you havent accepted Jesus as your lord and savior. SAME THING as athiests promoting to people that they feel the exact opposite and they just dont wanna see you waste your life away over a belief that they strongly feel is false.

Theokhoth

They can't stronglyfeel the belief is false if they simply "lack a belief"; that's the point I'm trying to make. Once they "strongly feel" in any direction, it's no longer a "lack of belief" deal. Nobody argues that Christianity is a "lack of belief," but plenty of people (particularly the ones sponsoring these advertisements) argue that atheism is. It's not as simple as you make it out.

I don't mind atheists knocking on my door and preaching. What I do mind is atheists knocking on my door to preach and then hear them say they don't have anything to preach about.

Your problem is that you simply don't understand atheism.

If theism is the belief in one or more gods, then atheism is the LACK of belief in one or more gods. Therefore, ANYONE who doesn't believe in gods is an atheist.

Now, it's certain that not all atheists are ALIKE, just as not all christians or muslims are alike. Some atheists strongly believe that there is no god, and some atheists simply lack any belief in a god. But in BOTH cases, they do NOT believe in any gods. That's the SINGLE thing that defines an atheist, though not all atheists share the same beliefs.

Churches buy ads all the time here in Florida.

Nothing is wrong about Atheists doing the same.

I chose "Great about time!" but I'm really indifferent. If Christians get their ads, then Atheists can have their ads. I wonder if this will head to the United States.helium_flash

I've give you a hint about how I feel about it by quoting myself. This quote was written to Christians in regards to this topic.

"In some ways I'd be fine seeing one ride by. Before I'm jumped on let me explain myself. This ad is great for evangelizing purposes. It wouldn't be hard to ask a stranger what they thought about the sign as they saw it and initiate a conversation. Not only that but it causes people to think more about God and be aware of the debate. Also, by the phrasing of the ad, it says there is probably no God. Does that mean there is a chance there is? Talk about this ad with non-believers! Spread the glory of God! Fulfill the Great Commission!"

Btw, atheism must feel threatened if they feel they must resort to this type of "evangelism."

My answer is, "Yay! It's going to start controversy!"
