The evidence doesn't lie. In fact, if I see Liverpool advertising products presenting Gerrard as a "hero" I may have to report them to the ASA!
Does God Exist? Let's ask the Advertising Standards Authority!

Well, if that was no good for him, then perhaps the BBC Might do?

Or the Times?

No no, i'm sure he still knows better
well, if the Catholic churches all close, at least it will stop all those peado priest scandals.
they'll just be regular paedos instead...

The campaign was started by a journalist and writer called Ariane Sherine. She was apparantly motivated after seeing an evangelical Christian advert on a bus saying non Christians will spend an eternity in hell, burning in a lake of fire. Her proposal was to put forward a more positive, humanist view.
Personally, I reckon the campaign is worthwhile as it gets people questioning their beliefs, which is always a good thing.

All this debate about religion in this country just reminded me... I thought it was funny when I was taken in to hospital last month, the nurse asked my religion while filling in a form, and she didn't seem to want to take "none" as an answer, so I said atheist, which she asked me how to spell and put down on the form.
But the Darth Vader might run in dressed in a bin bag and hit me with a crutch...
say 'Kahlessian' then. or Surakian.
But then I'd sound like a major league Trekkie...
Seventh Day Advent Hoppist?
And the greatest of these is hop.
I honestly don't see how this offends anyone. I am an atheist, but if I saw an ad on a bus saying "There is probably a God so you should bow down and worship him" then I would not be offended, I would find it pathetic and laugh at it. The facts are that I actually come across posters which are much worse than that, posters stating that I am going to suffer for all eternity. I do not believe in a god and I do not believe in a hell, so the posters have no effect on me other than to pity those who paid to put them up.
If I was a Christian who was strong in his faith then I would feel exactly the same way upon seeing the atheist posters. They would not be threatening my faith as I would firmly believe there is a god, no poster is going to challenge my faith or upset me. All I would feel is pity for those who paid to put them up.
If you find the posters offensive then you must not be strong in your faith.
I disliked the idea of putting up the posters in the first place because I think that if people want to explore their religious beliefs, or lack thereof, then that is a personal matter and it is not something that should be plastered on the side of a bus. However, I now fully support the posters because it is pissing off Christian Voice, an organisation that I find to be completely disgusting.
Sunday lunchtimes were a nightmare - we all had to wear sou'westers and asbestos underpants.
I am trying to think of a way of turning this conversation around so that we can discuss Silicon Heaven.
What's to discuss? If it didn't exist, where would all the calculators go?
Machines do not have souls. Computers and calculators do not have an afterlife. You don't get hairdryers with tiny little wings, sitting on clouds and playing harps.
But surely you believe that God is in all things? Aren't you a pantheist?
Yeah, but I just don't think it applies to kitchen utensils. I'm not a FRYING PANtheist.
