Sounds more agnostic than atheist because of the "probably". I agree with the message. Enjoy your life instead of worrying about what happens when you die.

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.

I think that's a terrible idea. I'm not religious in any way so it doesn't offend me personally, but so many non-believers complain about religious people throwing religion in their faces, and then they go ahead and throw their views in the religious peoples' faces. Not cool.

What's the point of even advertising that? I'm not going to stop believing in God because some side of a bus is implying I'm a dumb, paranoid, religious nut-job who can't enjoy his life.

No one seems to care. I guess they made those buses for no reason. I'm agnostic but I'll throw a complaint their way to make them feel better.

I think this what's going to happen: People will be mad at, but things will go fine. One of these buses will get into an accident (out of like 10,000) and people will scream it's god's will and these banners on buses will die down...

people will be incredibly angry about this if it ever hits America. I say to each their own. I believe in God, I believe in the fact that he gave you the choice to believe in him or not. I don't push my beliefs on anybody out of respect for that. Of course, if I said that in church I'd be called a sinner.

That's dumb. Seriously, it's pretty blatant and will spark controversy. But from what I've seen atheists like those in charge of the signs like putting people down..

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_fox
I 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.

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="-Keel-_basic"][QUOTE="Forerunner-117"]I like it. It's a positive message.Teenaged
No 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.

Well, then the theist campaigns are certainly not better. 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.

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.

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?
