Atheist bus adverts may lead to watchdog ruling on God's existence!

[dwolfcoach]

How can someone be rude when being offered a bet? If anything the wager is provocative on it's own. "I'll bet you there is a genie in this lamp." I'd be rude in my acceptance of that foolish bet.

2:8 - 2:20 someone plz slap her

These goddamn Christians need to get the hell over themselves. If OTHER religions can advertise like Jewish or Buddhist or Muslim than why the hell can't atheist advertise their beliefs too? Atheism may contradict religions but the religions also contradict each other. I respect atheists far more than religious people because on average they are more intelligent so if anything they should be treated with more regard.

The woman speaking is unbelievably ignorant. Pascal's Wager? No, it isn't Pascal's Wager sweetheart. It's just that while atheists are not convinced of god's existence due to a total lack of evidence, many atheists do not believe that god's existence can be disproven. Therefore, 'probably' no god, as opposed to just 'no god'. The qualifier 'probably' shows that atheists lack the arrogance that Xtians have, who proclaim an unshakable belief in something they have absolutely no proof for.

[Gordonisgreat]

probably is there because

[a] it is almost, but not entirely certain, there is no god

[b] as a concession to the poor delicate feelings of the believers

[c] because theists and agnostics leave themselves open to reason. believers dont, so their adds say "Jesus WILL kill you" without ambiguity

[traceurswift]

jesus killing people? i believe their adds would say jesus loves you [: or else they are pretty ill-educated

[Gordonisgreat]

remind me what happens in the 2nd coming again?

Isn't that when ass-kicking Jesus comes and puts us all to the sword?

And if Jesus and God are one and the same then he killed all sorts of people all through the bible.

He loves you, but he's sending you to hell. Yeah right!

There most certainly is a bus, now stop worrying and go to work

:)

[getchevyed]

Hahaha the bus is probably late stop worrying.

[MortimerKhan13]

@getchevyed Only I enjoyed that? In one years time? Seriously? xD THUMBS UP PLANET BROTHER!

[ruhallah10]

That is lie lol don't care about it this what u call democrasy

[Andylocksigma]

Why are they all hung up on the word probably? As an atheist we have to say probably because you cannot disprove God 100%

You cannot know anything 100% outside mathematics, there is a number of probabilities on everything.

[someonelikemyself]

In 'The God Delusion', Richard Dawkins gives 7 levels of belief, with 1 being the strongest belief and 7 being no belief. He proclaims himself on the scale as a 6...

Therefore 'probably' is an appropriate word to use...

Dawkins criticism of Pascal's Wager is also sound and totally misquoted by the woman on the panel...

[TheNakedAtheist]

"Dawkins criticism of Pascal's Wager is also sound and totally misquoted... "

Indeed.

The short list:

1. Pascal's God may be the wrong God, in which case the real God might be more pissed off that you're worshiping a false god rather than no God.

2. You can't chose to believe in God any more than you can chose to believe elephants have wings.

3. If you pretend to believe God will see through it.

4. God probably wouldn't appreciate you worshiping him only for the reward of heaven.

[CirnoPreacher94040]

«1. Pascal's God may be the wrong God, in which case the real God might be more pissed off that you're worshiping a false god rather than no God.»

SOLUTION: Find the true GOD!

«2. You can't chose to believe in God any more than you can chose to believe elephants have wings.»

RED HERRING!

«3. If you pretend to believe God will see through it.»

SOLUTION: Don't just fake belief, be a TRUE believer!»

[TheNakedAtheist]

"RED HERRING!"

? I'll assume you misunderstood as opposed to your being an idiot.

Ok you have to believe elephants have wings or you're going to hell.... do you believe?????

[CirnoPreacher94040]

I am not an idiot, I KNOW what I post!

I am probably a lot stronger than you considering that you have a poor defense against Pascal's Wager.

«Ok you have to believe elephants have wings or you're going to hell.... do you believe????? »

Hahahahaha you are a lunatic, psychotic, insane, abnormal, crazy FOOL, you may need a mental evaluation!

People go to Hell because they reject Yeshua otherwise known as Jesus Christ, NOT because they don't believe evephants have wings!

[TheNakedAtheist]

I guess that insane rant more than answered my question. lol

[Martano666]

I totally agree with you. Especially point #2. Many people don't seem to think about the fact that you can't simply 'choose' to believe something. You have to first be 'convinced' to believe it. If someone/something fails to convince you, you will not believe it. It will be your default position. So you can't tell people, "why don't you just 'believe' incase God exists?"

[luappmek23]

there is no god and even if there were one what bloody good has he ever proved to be? and dont forget there are thousands of gods that humans have invented!

[DeusExNihilum]

I have no idea why, during a discussion about the ASA, they didn't think "Hmm, maybe the put "Probably" so that the ASA couldn't shut us down"

[TTDeath]

"perfect freedom to choose" [a side] my ass..

Maybe those who haven't been brought up in terror of hell and satan are free to choose. For the rest, it is not an intellectual matter, it is pure gut reaction.

[xXxCondomBoyxXx]

To the last person, Hitchens - "what can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence".

Anyway, they are all igno

[xXxCondomBoyxXx]

fuck pressed enter too quick haha

[jameswp266]

Why is Christopher Hitchens in the description?? Stop false advertising

[BionicDance]

Agreed.

[greenegage]

Sorry, force of habit!

[cjunk351]

It should have said 'There's MOST probably no God, however Christianity is easily proven to not be true"

[bsport48]

no it should have said "there is no god, now stop being scared"

[thescottishJimmy]

you can't do that, "absence of proof is not proof of absence" disgraceful

[thescottishJimmy]

These people are shoeless

[Siriaan]

I hope all british aren't this fatuous

[jinitron]

Actually Dawkins does say there is "probably" no god. He says he's 99.9% sure there's no god.

God people are also free to put up their ads.

Suck it.

[jinitron]

In addition, Not Guilty, until Proven guilty.

To me that means, no god, until proven god.

Absence of evidence (especially after exaustive looking!) IS QUITE HEAVY circumstantial evidence that something does not exist. So the "probably" is QUITE accurate, final beyatch.

[Kevo216666]

Absolutely!

Scientists keep an open mind, unlike the theologians who claim they "know" the truth.

"Probably" has to stay.
