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
Even been to the southern US? Tons of religious adds there.. tons.
Here in Canada we have a lot of people tolerant of other people's beliefs, so I don't even understand why they bother putting them up. Its not like we have crazy fundamentalist religious folk crying from the rooftops that God will burn atheists in Hell.foxhound_foxI don't even get how it started in the UK, when apparently 50 percent population of the UK are Atheists or fairly secular, so, all their doing is preaching to the choir.
[QUOTE="Toriko42"]It's cool. Christians can put their ads up on TV Athiests should to.mindstorm*prepares immediately to create an extremely cliche and horrible quality commercial* lol I do like that you can laugh at things like this. Shows maturity on your part... Some of the people on this forum who count on you to validate their opinions of religion would be thumping the bibles loud and clear by now, nice to see some more maturity than that.
[QUOTE="NoSpeakyEnglish"]Stupid God. Why won't you help starving people?mindstormAre you saying God should help starving people or the atheists who are paying for these ads should help starving people? SpeakyEnglish clearly!:( Y you gotta go there man?
[QUOTE="-Keel-_basic"][QUOTE="Forerunner-117"]I like it. It's a positive message.TeenagedNo it's not. This is not a campaign to 'raise awareness,' it seems like a rather poor attempt at offending Christians. I see no purpose for this campaign. They're 'preaching to the choir' with the skeptics and just annoying the theists. If you are going to offend someone, do it right.The red letters seem to me to be the mainstream strategy of church. They offend people the right way. This is ridiculous. Well lets blame atheists for having a poor attempt and let's praise the Christians for having successfull attempts on offending non-believers. Cheers! My point is, it is an entirely useless campaign. What on earth are billboards telling people to "just enjoy life" trying to accomplish? Do you think any theist is going to take that seriously? Hell no they're not. It's polite, it's stupid, and it is certainly not clever.

And I've said numerous times in this thread that I am against both atheists and theists for having such ads.
It shouldn't have started in the first place by the Church.

Of course it shouldn't have been started. This is why I disassociate myself from most Atheists, because a lot of them are idiots.[QUOTE="Teenaged"]Well, then the theist campaigns are certainly not better.

This is why I disassociate myself from most Atheists, because a lot of them are idiots.I don't have a say on that really.The point is that neither side should have such ads, but since religious ads are allover the place, why shouldn't the atheists promote their ideas the same way? I'm not saying they're right but Christians should not bicker about those ads.
So be it. A few advertisements aren't going to eliminate my faith in the Almighty.tycoonmikeHow bout the fact that half the world is starving and God won't lift a finger to help them out?
[QUOTE="tycoonmike"]So be it. A few advertisements aren't going to eliminate my faith in the Almighty.MaXXXed_Outlol bro you capitalized almighty
And there is something wrong with that? I've also capitalised "It", the "Infinite", and the "Almighty" before.

Pipe dream, I'm afraid. I just don't get why these atheists need to promote their non-belief. Why not spend that money to fund a campaign for a pro-secular representative?
