The best advert in the world? Probably not!

It was reported yesterday that the atheists are starting an advertising campaign on buses. It reads, There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life. An interesting idea that religious people worry more. For a good article on this see:

Well done to the Methodist Church who have welcomed Richard Dawkins' "continued interest" in God! When Dawkins is on TV he comes across as arrogant and very often angry. If that's the result of not worrying for an atheist, thanks, but no thanks!


He is reported to have said, "This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think – and thinking is anathema to religion." The usual lies from him. A lot of my time is thinking through my faith, especially as I prepare for a sermon, talk or study. And I encourage my listeners to think also! I want them to own their faith, not because I say so, but because they have worked it out for themselves.

The tragic case of the death of Gayle Williams at the hands of the Taliban in Afghanistan illustrates the passion many Christians have for helping people and trying in some small way to make the world a better place, rather than the atheist who is just out to 'enjoy' his life.

Although Gayle was killed for "preaching the Christian message in Afghanistan", she wasn't, she was just helping disabled people. But that is the real threat to the militants. Not so much the preaching of Christianity but the demonstration of it through loving service to others. That is a most feared weapon to those against Christianity, the sharing of Christ's love to others.


But back to that bus advert. Alpha has been advertising on buses for years - interesting that the atheists are trying to catch up!
