My Atheist Bus

Friendly Atheist has linked to an “atheist bus advert” generator, so I thought I would do my best and tackle an issue that has been with the adverts since the start of the campaign. My advert probably won’t be on buses any time soon though!

THERE IS NO GOD!

Whilst the message isn’t really philosophically accurate (especially given my position as an agnostic atheist), you can’t deny it would turn some heads! For those confused, the ASA is the “Advertising Standards Authority” which determined that a statement like “THERE IS NO GOD” wouldn’t be legal, and Christian Voice are the arses who filed numerous complaints about the adverts.

    So, you also can't say there is no {Ahura Mazda, Zeus, Osiris, Invisible Pink Unicorn, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Eris, Satan}, right? All those things seem to be equally likely to exist? But the likelihood that their existence will be proven is so close to zero that I would be willing to call it zero and take the hit if it turns out I'm wrong.

    Currently, there is big discussion goin on about this in the comments over at http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/ar...
    I think this guy has some points, but most answers are just plain stupid (what would you expect, anyways?).

    Oh and, by the way, search for "Tom Mayer" if you want to skip to the interesting parts!
