That would get 'em all thinkin'! I wish we could plaster those British busses with your response to the atheist slogan. That would get ‘em all thinkin’!

I'm so grateful for folks that can eloquently "nail it" so well and so humorously. I had a good chuckle reading your post and had to put a little link to it on my blog. Thank you Bekah, thank you.

Now stop worrying and enjoy yourself." Christianity Today says the ads are from the British Humanist Association. The American Humanist Association has copied the Brits. "Why believe in God, just be good for goodness sake" I have a question for the Brits. What is the probability? What are the odds? Would a bookmaker give me odds? People who take the advice are betting on a very very long shot and will lose. "He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." Acts 10:42, 43 (NIV) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) Alternatives: "There's probably no God; no judge, so lets continue to sin and not worry." or "so lets continue to sin and worry even more because there might be God" or "lets pretend there is no God but try to be good just in case" or "I have already had my quota of sin so I might as well continue to sin. There is no hope anyhow." With Love, Grandpa Dear Bekah,

Thank you for your humor, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy yourself.” Christianity Today says the ads are from the British Humanist Association. The American Humanist Association has copied the Brits.

“Why believe in God, just be good for goodness sake”

I have a question for the Brits. What is the probability? What are the odds? Would a bookmaker give me odds? People who take the advice are betting on a very very long shot and will lose.

“He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” Acts 10:42, 43 (NIV)

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)

Alternatives:

“There’s probably no God; no judge, so lets continue to sin and not worry.” or “so lets continue to sin and worry even more because there might be God” or “lets pretend there is no God but try to be good just in case” or “I have already had my quota of sin so I might as well continue to sin. There is no hope anyhow.”

With Love,

Grandpa

As a born-Londoner, I was really shocked & annoyed by this silly "marketing" ploy, but you've given me a really helpful, refreshing perspective on it. Praise God indeed that he does have the victory over this nonsense!!!! :) Anna Jeffers, UK Thank you Rebekah.

No doubt Jonty is right about the intention, but for many people to be told by non-believers that probably God does not exist will turn out to be a stronger, more disturbing evangelistic message than to be told by Christians that surely He does.

I think that Dawkins said that there was no PROOF of a God, not that there just plain outright was none. I just watched the Expelled movie again.
