Would You Get On The Atheist Bus?
In June of 2008, a pro Christian advertising campaign entitled Jesus Said ran on city buses across London. The ads displayed the URL of a website which stated that non-Christians “will be condemned to everlasting separation from God and then you spend all eternity in torment in hell … Jesus spoke about this as a lake of fire prepared for the devil.”
Now a group of British atheists are fighting back. They purchased advertising on 800 buses all across the UK with the message: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” Adriane Sherine explains their reasoning: “Our rational slogan will hopefully reassure anyone who has been scared by this kind of evangelism [in the Jesus Said campaign].” It looks like atheist groups in Spain, Australia, and Italy are following suit with planned bus campaigns of their own. This is sure to drum up some good old religious controversy.
