Where is God?
A humanist asks
I notice that London buses now have a slogan on the side of them paid for by the brittish Humanist Society saying “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”. Is this not an attempt by the society to create a religion based around the no God concept or is it a sensible move?

This is an interesting one. I used to believe that everyone had the right to say what they wanted, when they wanted but have since come to the conclusion this can be dangerous. Look at what Robert “doom and depression” Peston has managed to do for the Brittish banking sector just by spreading fear. Religion has used fear to bring people into it and most faiths are guilty of this. We should have a line in the sand controlling what can and can’t be said but I don’t think this in any way crosses it. I wonder if the ASA could get involved? Are religious posters covered under the same rules of having to substantiate facts?

It disappoints me that we still find this kind of thing noteworthy. Why should the fact that ‘god’ in whatever mythological concept / form some use as a crutch does not exist is not worth the news. Do we see adverts on the side of buses saying ‘on a sunny day the sky is blue’ or ‘gravity pulls objects towards the ground’ ? Real progress would be adverts telling us churches would have to pay taxes at long last.
And if you read this and are screaming blasphemer, or sacrilege, why not get a life and accept your responsible for yourself, instead of holding onto you childish security blanket. I really am fed up with this religion rubbish.
