there’s probably no god

This is fantastic: ads on London buses advocating atheism.

I wonder how hard this would be to fund in Australia, and whether it would somehow offend our anti-discrimination/hate speech laws, which (like our constitution, according to the High Court) seem to protect every belief system except atheism.

    THEY’RE PROBABLY WRONG…

    In as much as our organization exists to teach people of the character of God, we do, of course, disagree with the philosophy that “There probably is no God…”

    Never-the-less, so long and they do not demean others as they express their beliefs, atheists have as much right to publicly express themselves as others.

    We cling to God’s promise that “…he rewards those who EARNESTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6, and we testify to the fulfillment of that promise.

    I think that is a very admirable attitude, and not one which all religions or religious people would share.

    It’s always a difficult question – if you hold something to be fundamentally true, how do you respond to those who disagree?

    Where would you draw the line between disagreement and demeaning other people? Is it generally acceptable to attack the idea but not the individual?
