Slow Burn
When you consider all the senseless deaths that occur because some religions are violent and seek domination, you really have to laugh at the Atheists vs. Christianity Bus Debate.
Atheists have started advertising. The most talked about ad campaign in England, now plastered across the outside of 800 British buses, declares: “There’s probably no God, so stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
And now the retort:
Now the Christian party, the Trinitarian Bible Society and the Russian Orthodox Church have paid for their own pro-God adverts that will run on 175 buses across central and east London and the West End for two weeks from Monday.
The advert for the Christian Party includes the slogan: ‘There definitely is a God. So join the Christian Party and enjoy your life.’
It’s all so very civilized, isn’t it? I mean, these buses can drive back and forth past each other with little fear of being blown up for their message.
It’s very much like that Kenny vs Spenny stunt with the Jesus Sucks! banner that flew over Toronto. It’s all very safe and milquetoast in its supposed edginess.
So what say we all get together to buy some ads that say “Allah is a Myth” or “Mohamed was a Child Rapist” and really be cutting edge? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, right?
You might use the colloquialism “Our message is blowing up!”

‘Twould certainly be an explosive ad campaign. Dynamite, even. In fact, I guarantee it would change some minds… into paste.

After looking at the pic in your post I do not think we have to worry. We do not have double decker buses.

You need a side view of that bus. The add that was actually on it is quite amusing. http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=156 is a picture of the actual bus destroyed by Muslims in London. You can’t make this stuff up. I mean who would believe it.
