There is no God bus slogans

[Dave Lobster]

how so? faith is defined as the firm belief in something for which there is no proof, and theres no proof that there are no gods... or does the double negative just cancel out here?

There are no fairies at the bottom of the garden either.

Ladies and gentlemen

While this discussion fascinates me, continuing a discussion about matters other than what some people may choose to pay to have written on the sides of omnibuses will inevitably result in part or all of this thread being "relocated" to the Thread That Is Scottish.

Heed ye well the warning of a Moderator, or feel ye the wrath of the Site Owner.

This is officially a Yellow Card.

This is officially a Yellow Card.

noted, have been trying to stay away from the scottish thread at least while there is still ACC work to do anyway!

sooo, did anyone here donate to their cause? they raised a bit over 18k so far

In response to the first post.


New Zealand is a predominantly English speaking and the principal religion is still Christianity.

The average New Zealander will likely give more of an f about "There is no God" than "There is no Mohammed" or "There is no Buddha" as these are still minor groups of New Zealanders.


Who cares anyway. Hardout atheists have bus adverts, hardout theists have churches and cathedrals and stuff, and everybody in between (theists and atheists) well we just realise that there are more pressing matters in life.

As has already been pointed out on this thread, Mohamed and Buddha may not be the best examples, as neither of them is claimed to be a god! But yeah, I see your point.

I like it - I have had so many religions rammed down my throat over the years that it's a breath of fresh air to have Atheism in ya face!

I believe that having an imaginary friend is a psychotic disorder.

It can't be atheism. Atheists do not sit on the fence. Probably admits that there might be and that is the Agnostic world.

We've been over this on the first page of the thread. And that's a fact.

Thank God, they didn't allow Hone to write on the side of a bus...

But if they did, and he wrote his apology; we can at least all agree that there would be no one who believed in it.

How many people read the sides of buses anyway? Surely there are more viral (and cheaper) ways of getting your point across?

"Oh God, there is a Hone"

Like saying you're going to pay to put a message on the side of buses and having articles written about it in every newspaper?

Anyway, money doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. They've raised $20,000 already:

Only $10 of it is mine.

I know reviving old threads is bad form, but it seems like the right place to point out that there are places in the world where the distinction (or lack thereof) between "There is no God" and "There is no Allah" is taken even more seriously than on the Kiwibiker forums:
