Stop worrying

I rarely venture into The Smoke (London) these days, but I gather from those who do that there is a growing trend for adverts on public transport for evangelical religious groups, and not just the sort suggesting that you may want to pop in for tea and cakes - more the sort that suggest you're a filthy sinner who is destined for eternal pain and torment.

In a charming reaction The Atheist Bus Campaign launches today, Tuesday October 21 2008.

With your support, we hope to raise £5,500 to run 30 buses across the capital for four weeks with the slogan: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."




Professor Richard Dawkins, bestselling author of The God Delusion, is officially supporting the Atheist Bus Campaign, and has generously agreed to match all donations up to a maximum of £5,500, giving us a total of £11,000 if we reach the full amount - enough for a much bigger campaign. The British Humanist Association have kindly agreed to administer all donations.

Mephistopholes' Metadata


Remember the news story from earlier this year abut the guy in Kansas whose girlfriend was literally stuck on a toilet for two years? And how by some act of satanic justice, he won the lottery? Well, he just won it again. No less strange, after I clicked that story off of the NYT home page, the banner ad that appeared to the right of the article was an animated graphic from the Mormons, whose first frame appears above. God apparently not only cares, but reads my browser cookies as well. More likely, though, Satan just has some excellent media buyers.
