Sorry, force of habit!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

[traceurswift]

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

[getchevyed]

Hahaha the bus is probably late stop worrying.
