There is no God bus slogans

[wbks]

Thats pretty cool. Isn't "allah" just an arabic word for "god", anyway? "God" kind of encapsulates the whole spectrum of imaginary friends not to devote your life to, princessbandit. Can't go singling out muslims with that "allah", though, I'd like new zealand to remain terrorist attack free until at least the end of this decade!

Back in September in Auckland it was almost a case of "There Is No Bus".

"must spread rep" oh my god... That is the hardest I've laughed at something on the computer for a long time!

OK, I await with great interest the "There is no buddha" "There is no Allah" and "There is no Mohammed" bus slogans just to even it all out.

The point of the ads in Britain were to provoke debate.

Yes they are pro-atheism, but personally I think that it's a good thing to see ads like this get publicity.... because they just might get people thinking about where they stand spiritually.

Better to have thought about God and made a conscious decision "in or out" than to sit on the fence.

Besides, sitting on a fence hurts one's bottom.... and so does Satans pitchfork.

I thought the billboard was an ad for hair gel.

Think it's a bit rank during the main christian celebration season.

I mean, isn't this the time we commemorate Santa's baby, Jeebus, who was born as a manager...?

I gather gold, Frankenstein and myrhh (whatever the hell that is) was involved too... Confusing as hell really, come to think of it...

No, we make business tycoons wealthy and spend time with our family, and fuck jeebus

very true, maybe there should be Christian ads running alongside "Aethiests don't get to have any christmas" Tbh Im trying to remember whether I've ever seen any adds from religion (cept outside churches of course) do they get to advertise as well?

Coincidence that Bishop Brian signed up 700 sons just before Christmas http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...0605956&pnum=1


I think not - I reckon he did it for the presents.

Still with that many kids hes going to get double-ups - I hope that the warehouse has a returns policy.

Christmas has become a completely accepted western tradition that no longer has fuckall to do with jesus unless you are christian. It's been like that so long it's not even really a religious thing, anymore

The Christian appropriation of the Northern mid-winter festival (whether you want to call it Yule or Saturnalia) has merely been a temporary aberration....
