This is a normal post I can imagine an atheist bus driver
refusing to drive a bus with an advert for God on the side

This is a normal post I can imagine it, for those of a particularly militant bent
but I've yet to see a news report where it happened.

Meanwhile, busses are plastered with adverts for various religious organisations and no drivers of other religions seem to object.

This is a normal post I think that there is a clear divide between
'have you considered our lovely religion' and 'your religion is wrong'.

I see the point although I see little point in either.

This is a normal post well almost all religions say that theirs is the only true religion
so 'your religion is wrong' is implied.

This is a normal post Maybe.
That said, 'buy Pepsi' is not a message which is likely to be complained about, whereas 'Don't buy Coke' is.

The latter is implied by the former.

This is a normal post I guess atheist adverts have to be negative
What else could you say? "Be an atheist - when you die, nothing!" ;)

This is a normal post But the athiest ads aren't attacking one specific religion.

"Don't buy Coke" is taking it too far. It'd be more like, "Fizzy drinks are not good for you."

This is a normal post And B3ta would praise them.
The message is, however, agnostic, not atheist.

This is a normal post It's run by Athiests.

This is a normal post If a Christian says 'My car has broken down'
it does not become a Christian message.

There is probably no God is an agnostic comment.

I like agnostics. Atheists are too nutty fro me.

This is a normal post That would be the Devil flooding their carbs
Because they wank or don't hit their kids.

This is a normal post Can I hit their kids?

This is a normal post Nutty athiests
are usually ex-religious types. I was brought up athiest so it wasn't a big deal for me that there was no god.

Depends how you define athiest, I'd say it isn't necessary to have a 100% certainty of gods non-existance to be called one. Agnostics are kind of middling to me, willing to go either way

This is a normal post Your definition is not quite right though.
Atheists believe that there is no God.

There are two types - ones who do not believe that there is a God because they have never considered it (babies) and those who believe that there is no God because they have considered it.

If you do not believe that there is no God then you are an agnostic.

This is a normal post I doubt most of b3ta would praise religious intolerance
from any direction

This is a normal post I would
nut jobs the lot of them

This is a normal post it isn't
"we don't/can't know if there is a god or not" is agnostic.

"there probably isn't a god" is atheist - there might possibly be a god, but there's no evidence for it.

This is a normal post There might not be a God,
but there is no evidence of that.

This is a normal post You could make the same argument about anything
unicorns, fairies, wookies, whatever. If I came and told you that I had a unicorn grazing at the end of my garden you'd call me mad. And quite rightly so.

This is a normal post I want this to happen
and every permutations of bus-driver/faith/poster, until no faith posters are allowed. At all. They bug me, it should be personal choice - I like these atheist ones as it starts that process going...

This is a normal post Agreed
that's why I donated to the campaign.

This is a normal post yes, indeed did I too.... *high five*

This is a normal post But, if they bug you,
why allow the atheist one either?

This is a normal post Because it's caused all of this 'outrage'.
So it's a possibility that they will ALL stop as a result of this one.

Makes a lot of sense to me...

Lots of campaigns for religion, that annoy me. One against religion that raises debate about whether they're should be any at all. It's working quite well IMO.

This is a normal post I'm going to start a religion
that involves worshipping signs on buses.
