Mark Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So three Christian groups are going to put these banners on buses:"There definitely is a God. So join the Christian Party and enjoy your life.""There IS a God, BELIEVE. Don't worry and enjoy your life.""The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God"http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/feb/05/atheist-bus-christian-responseI have to admit my first reaction was to think of complaining to the Advertising Standards Authority because a) the atheist bus campaign had to put the word "probably" in their ad to stop offending people, these guys don't b) they're stating something that's unproven (like an ageing cream stating it will make you younger) and c) the last one is calling me a fool, which is rather rude. But it's petty to complain for the sake of it so I won't but in my opinion it shows how the church can get away with saying things unchallenged and how sad it is that this apparent great omnipresent, all seeing being that rules the universe has to promote itself on the side of a bus.I ought to clarify that I doctored the above image and that God was in no way involved[edited once] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5198-i-aint-getting-on-no-christian-bus-fool/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a pub, whichever's nearer. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5198-i-aint-getting-on-no-christian-bus-fool/#findComment-166188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 May I suggest you read "The Fire Gospel" by Michel Faber. Brilliant. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5198-i-aint-getting-on-no-christian-bus-fool/#findComment-166566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
