Thetards Retaliate Against Atheist Bus Ads

[Dev]

A lot of you know about the atheist bus ads depicting the slogan, "There
is probably no God, now quit worrying and enjoy your life."

Not taking this lying down, many of AvC's theists have raised money to
start posting their own bus ads. Those bus ads are starting circulation
today. See below:

And the most hysterical thing about those ads is that they are ALL Direct Quotes.

 

LMFAO!

By the way, the campaign has expanded to Canada.

 

Toronto's ads are starting in a few weeks. :-)

The physicist Victor Stenger has proposed this slogan for the next bus
ad, "Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into
buildings."

Considering Stenger's fairly influential, this one might end up
becoming a reality. Although I still prefer, "Faith may not move
mountains, but you should see what it does to skyscrapers."

Several of them are paraphrases, for the record (but all are very
close). For example, checkers didn't say "yuk yuk yuk" after he said
one plus three didn't equal four, because he was serious, but I figure
for purposes of a bus add he probably wanted to add a signature.

I have to say that they both hold an appeal to me ;-)

Lol. That is true. But I think the actual quotes are pretty accurate in terms of how I remember them anyway.

[Dev]

Yes, although they aren't all verbatim, it would be easy to track down
the originals for anyone who doubts it by entering a few keywords.

I heard a caller to CBC (not sure if theist or atheist) tsking the ad
campaign, pointing out that many useful things could be done in
Toronto with $21,000.

I'm glad the ads are coming, but perhaps if they become an ongoing
thing, they can use the "brand" to support secular volunteerism.

I believe it's the Secular Humanists at UofT who are organizing it and they were up to $30000 a few days ago.

 

Maybe you should contact them and suggest that.

 

Nice idea.

[Dev]

I do agree with that. The thing is, while the biggest philanthropists
in the world are nonbelievers, and the more secular countries are
overall more generous to the less fortunate, atheists generally don't
use charity work as a cover for evangelizing like theists do. I'm not
sure if they should or not--in terms of appearances, this bus ad
campaign might give the wrong impression.

Very good.

 

I should also clarify that the "Be Good For Goodness Sake" part was taken from the Washington DC Bus Ad campaign.

 

The rest of the slogan is an anonymous quote I found on the Net.

 

So I just put the two together.

 

The first one is a variation of NARAL election slogan during the last election.

Did any liberal theists (in Italy or anywhere else) oppose Genoa's ban
on equal freedom of expression for atheists? (presuming that Christian
advertisements are allowed on Genoa's buses).

[Timothy 1:4a]

Could be, I'll have to think about that.

This thing is definitely spreading, and so is the controversy.
Apparently Kingston, Ontario will not run the ads.

Apparently Kingston, Ontario will not run the ads.

 

This isn't specifically about the atheist bus ads though.

 

Apparently Kingston has existing rules restricting all their advertising which pre-existed this campaign.

 

They have had a policy for a long time against any kind of religious or political ads on city property or any controversial advertising.
