Opsa

I like Bart's idea and hope he will design some for here.

Alternative wording: "God or no God, it's out of your hands so stop worrying about it!"

Lookee HERE

It's all happening....... and not just in London.

Wonder how we could get a link on their website. (in the spirit of "probably" for the Toadfish who are Believers of Whatever - like they say, the thing is to get people to THINK rather than bash each other....... hmmmm has anyone else noticed that none of us has started a Gaza thread, I keep meaning to and don't).

Apparently they're planning to copy it in Barcelona. That could be fun..

Fails the dog bites man versus man bites dog newsworthyness test. Followers of Abrahamic religions beating the carp out of each other fails to score highly on the novelty front.

Looks like the Advertising Standards Authority may have to rule on the existence of God.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7818980.stm

Seeing as the Humanist posters have "probably" and the Godsquad ones don't, I suspect the complainants are on to a loser.

Wasn't there a movie where Santa Claus was proven to exist because the U.S. Mail delivered letters to him?

Maybe the ASA should insist God presents himself to substantiate the claims or ban the Bible. A quick comparison with the banned Apple iPhone adverts suggests if shown on TV it could be in trouble with:

CAP (Broadcast) TV Advertising Standards Code rules
5.1 (Misleading Advertising)
5.2.1 (Evidence)
5.2.2 (Implications)
5.4.1 (Visual techniques and special effects).

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh lordy. I just sent that to all my friends.


Unfortunate thing is A) It would never ever happen because people aren't ballsey/arrogant enough to do that so publicly and B) >half the people at the ASA are more than likely religious (Christian or otherwise).

"stick that in your pope and smoke it"  :D

beagle

Maybe both sides will have to avoid definitive language.

"Christianity, probably the best religion in the world".

Carlsberg got there first.

Bet this is one problem the ASA could do without. Perhaps they can pass it on to Trading Standards.

Beware of Dogma billboard in Little Rock Arkansas-- yes the grumbling and gnashing of teeth is great indeed.

You know I've been looking forward to seeing the London buses with the Humanist adverts on them but I haven't seen any yet...

Too bad they don't have that on bumperstickers, yet! I'd be sorely tempted.

And now, atheist Thought of the Day

Actually Dawkins did a one-off thought years ago, but probably too many bishops choked on their breakfast kedgeree for the experiment to be repeated.

No look...I have come up with a brilliant idea...I should post it on their site.

What about alternative god stamps?

Get the post office to issue a set of stamps with eg

The Flying Spaghetti Monster
Richard Dawkins
John Cleese
One of those floaty cloud things from Star Trek
etc etc
plus the message 'there probably is no god so stop worrying and enjoy your life.'

Anymore thought about the take over of the mail service- sorry, I mean about suggestions for stamps to them?
I'd buy them-- 'specially if me brother Bart were involved.
Doesn't John Cleese already have a stamp? What's wrong with them- all Python should already have stamps.
