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"

I 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

Perhaps not Mark but I think I see Beelzeebub's hand at work here.

I suggest you spend some time on the repentance step.

Crikey Mark it gets worse , first Beelzeebub now George Bush, next you'll be telling me Andrew Castle just walked in.

I suggest you lob holy water balloons at them and take sanctuary in a church.

Or a pub, whichever's nearer.

    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
