There has been a lot of controversy here in the UK about a bus advertising campaign and here’s why. A comedienne Ariane Sherine has launched a bus, underground and billboard advertising campaign that states:

There’s probably no God.

Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

This is in answer to bus adverts from Jesussaid.org.

The website I took issue with was JesusSaid.org, advertised on buses and tube cards in June last year, which – as you can read here – promotes the idea of God’s wrath and eternal punishment. It insists:

“God’s wrath includes the prospect of eternal punishment – it is appointed to men to die once and then comes the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). You will rise from the dead and will face the Judge and know that you rejected His kind and merciful answer. You will be condemned to everlasting separation from God and then you spend all eternity in torment in hell. Jesus spoke about this as a lake of fire which was prepared for the devil and all his angels.” Our adverts were designed to counter these rather alarming ideas.

This Youtube video gives an interview with Ariane Sherine and Richard Dawkins from the Guardian website.
