Atheist Bus Advertising Campaign

There's always a silver lining to things that might otherwise seem grim, and the wording used in the latest anti-God campaign by British atheists, led of course by self-seeking Richard Dorkings (sic), is no exception. Up to now the definition of atheism according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary is 'the theory or belief that God does not exist.' By definition it follows that an atheist is someone who practises atheism, or in other words, someone who believes that God does not exist. After all, 'The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile, there is no one who does good. (Psalm 14:1 NAS)

Interesting then, isn't it, that the current anti-God campaign that has been launched, with advertisements on 800 buses in the UK, state their belief in a different manner. The advertisements state that THERE'S PROBABLY NO GOD. The use of the word 'probably' indicates that after decades of posturing that there is NO GOD, they now have to admit in this campaign that they might be completely wrong, and that the best they can claim is that there is PROBABLY NO GOD. This is, of course, a completely different stance, and one which would indicate the need to re-define the meaning of atheism in the dictionaries so that it reads, 'the theory or belief that God may not exist.'

Praise the Lord for this change in their understanding. There's hope for them even yet!

Of course, Jesus Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of every repentant sinner, and that includes atheists just as much as anyone else. Thankfully the God whom they choose to deny is a forgiving God, and the path to reconciliation is open to everyone who chooses to believe in, and accept, Jesus Christ as their Saviour, acknowledging Him as their Lord.

There is one particularly good thing about this campaign, although I hardly think that Dawkins and his assorted cronies intended it, and that is that the advertisements draw people's attention to the whole question of God, and in many instances will help to strengthen the faith of some who are weaker in the faith than others.

The strange thing is that these people who are so opposed to religion in general, and to God in particular, together form a sect whose beliefs are as fervent as any other sect on the planet. They seek to proselytise, converting people to their point of view, stating that it is the only sensible viewpoint to hold. And all the time it helps to make the leaders like Richard Dawkins wealthier as more and more people buy his fictional books which he passes off as factual.

Of course, he's perfectly entitled to his own opinions, just as we all are, but when he tries to ram them down the throats of others, regardless of the offence that it might cause, then it's a different issue altogether.
