Atheists Speak Up


Here's one for the A-team--a group in Britain has countered biblical slogans on buses with their own message on London's red double-deckers: "There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." The Guardian UK has the story and a nice video with Ariane Sherine explaining why she started the campaign, and Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, commenting. One interesting point Dawkins makes is that whenever atheists state their point of view, it is considered strident, but it's perfectly acceptable to pronounce that all non-believers will burn for all eternity in a lake of fire.

And take note of that "probably" in the bus poster. That's the sign of open minds.
