"There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

I just noticed an atheist ad went up near my apartment, and it's not bad. It's a very pretty stained glass imitation that just says "Imagine no religion." I think it's from freedomfromreligion.com.

Yeah, that's their slogan. I like it better than their seasonal "Reason's Greetings" one they also use.

The one I absolutely don't undertstand the controversy over is the one that was refused for buses in Halifax: "You can be good without God." The transit agency said it was too offensive... For reasons that completely escape me.

OK, that's just silly.

Yeah, that's crazy. That's one of the best ones I've heard of. It's short, to the point, gets right to the heart of the matter, and I can't see how it would be offensive at all. That would be a great slogan to have out there.

What is wrong with people?

We're people.

BTW - the other day, I saw my first banner from the campaign that the United Church of Canada has launched in response to the AtheistBus.ca Toronto campaign.

Their ads say "There's probably a God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

I kinda like the campaign, myself.

well, the possibility of there being a God potentially raises the question of how we are to interact with God, what He wants us to do, and how we can get to know Him better. this assumes that God is in fact knowable on some level, relational, and seeking personal interaction with us.

the possibility of a relationship or personal intimacy with a God who is first and foremost Someone is at the heart of the Christian worldview. so for a Christian, how one relates to and follows God would directly impact how much and about what they worry, and in what ways life in enjoyed and enriched.
