This is a link post stop the rot now. The Fundies are fighting back.
OK, I am just as pathetic and meek a british citizen as the rest of you, meekly sleepwalking into a police state without having the balls to raise my voice, but this has pissed me off enough to get the green fountain pen out.

In my opinion, the adverts referred to in the above article are grossly inappropriate in a commercial medium as they make claims that, to the best of my knowledge, are unsubstantiated (please, if you have verifiable evidence to the contrary, gaz me).

If you feel that the ASA is in dereliction of its duty in allowing this bollocks, then please complain; they have provided an easy way to make your views heard so I suggest you use it:

www.asa.org.uk/asa/how_to_complain/complaints_form/

for reference, my comment below.


according to the report, groups are posting the following adverts:

"There definitely is a God", "There definitely is a God; so join the Christian Party and enjoy your life." & "There IS a God, BELIEVE. Don't worry and enjoy your life."

Further, according to the article, the ASA rules that "they did not breach acceptable standards. "

So I am asking the ASA to let me know what proof for these outrageous claims has been submitted, as they are both inflammatory and unsubstantiated either by science or indeed 4000 years of philosophy.

I do not question the bodies' right to advertise, but I demand that if they choose to advertise in a conventional medium they be held accountable to the same standards of any other commercial or political body.

I look forward to your response and thank you for your continued efforts in keeping our media out of the hands of charlatans of any stripe.


Sorry this isn't funny, but I very nearly had a fit when I saw this.

This is a normal post i already complained.
The atheist adverts said there 'probably' isn't a god. Fair enough.

The religious adverts say 'definitely'. This is not proven. I am offended that the fundies are claiming unproven facts. Fuck, even Special K cereal has to say 'CAN help weightloss', rather than 'GUARANTEES weightloss'.

Everyone complain. do it. or my non-existent god will get you.

This is a normal post you want a serious answer?
well for a start I, and the posters above, clearly give a shit.

As should you.

I currently live in a muslim country where you can go to prison for being claimed to have been overheard for criticising the ruler. Where people regularly get imprisoned and beaten for carrying out magical rites. Where Apostasy is punishable by prison or even death. Where they are currently demolishing the only church in the country to build a roundabout, only to also pronounce that any new churches would be illegal (despite the Koran's explicit stance contradicting this).

The United Kingdom, for all it's petty and crazed fuckwittery, has been a place of peace and tolerance for nigh on a thousand years (the odd decade notwithstanding). You have absolutely no idea how precious this is, and how important the bodies, checks & balances are that protect us.

We are the inheritors of a truly incredible civilisation, the litter, the CCTV, the Mail not withstanding, but if you will allow me a tired misquote, the only thing required for vicious bigoted cunts to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Please reassess your position and get involved, if not in this, in something.

This is a normal post There's plenty of religious advertising around *stating* there *is* a god
and you get all huffy about some people suggesting there may not be.

Personally I don't believe we should have respect for other people's beliefs if they're clearly unfounded. That's not the same as saying we shouldn't allow people to hold those beliefs, but frankly God is no more credible than the Flying Spaghetti Monster (bless His noodley appendages) and I have the right to say so.

I said that I do not have a problem with anyone's right to say anything, so long as they can substantiate it if they choose to advertise it in the mainstream media.

This is a normal post me too...
Hadn't intended on getting involved in a conversation about it, just wanted to raise the level of awareness that a. it was going on and b. that there exists a formal channel to express disapproval, should people feel it.

Aside from that I just get sick of apathy (although I agree that it would be nice if we could all get on with our lives and pretend that people weren't being killed outside abortion clinics/in hotels in Mumbai/on buses in London/etc ad nauseum).

But the reason I posted originally was that these cunts were complaining through official, legal channels that Dawkins (and by extension a lot of B3tans) had no right to say there "probably isn't a god" yet the ASA states that they are within their rights to claim that there "definitely is one".

This is not about the fundies or the atheists, nor indeed about what anyone does or does not believe, this is about the ASA discharging their duties as arbiters of public standards in advertising, which they are clearly not upholding and which, through raising awareness of the complaints procedure, we can change.

This is a normal post You refered to yourself as
walking into a police state, and then posted a link to complain about an advert that someone wants to publish about their faith. Seems like what I said is true to me.

However, I agree with your point about the adverts, I don't think they should be allowed. But I don't think the Atheist bus adverts should have been allowed either. Religion, Faith, non-belief, whatever is a personal choice. None of the options should be forced down anyones throats as far as I am concerned. We live in a secular country where everyone is free to believe whatever they like, provided it doesn't harm anyone. As you said, you live in a muslim country where presumably, Sharia law is implemented (I can't be sure as you didn't state what country you are in). So surely, with the reservations you have stated about that state you live in, surely suppresing the views of anyone worries you? You can not pick and choose whose views you are willing to listen to. Either you want to ban all religious/anti-religious advertising, or you have to allow anything to be published. How does it affect you in any way if someone who has belief in a higher power wants to say they do in public?

This is a normal post I'll take the anti-ASA position, then.
Let's not have an agency deciding what's true enough to be published.


Does raise an nice moral dilemma, though. Imagine you live in nazi-controlled state where, stupidly, the nazis have introduced a law allowing any publication to be withdrawn from sale and burnt, based on anybody complaining about it. Do you use this unjust law to ban nazi newspapers? I guess this is one of those things where the answer depends whether you regard yourself to be caught up in a desperate war with oppressors or working within a civil society.

This is a normal post Precisely.
However, what extremely anti-religious people seem to ignore, whether deliberately, or through naivety, is that people who believe in God and Jesus and whatever, do not themselves necessarily require proof, scientific or otherwise. They have faith, and that serves their needs in a more than ample fashion. I myself am not anti science, however I do have certain issues with science. It lacks in one dimension for me. Disregard the impossible, but consider the improbable. Too often in my opinion, people confuse these two.
 (I helped save b3ta! Redsushi! Whoop! Whoop! Yes, that one!, Sat 7 Feb 2009, 14:41, Reply)
This is a normal post OK, that was hard to parse.
1) Faith serves their needs instead of proof:

I disagree with practical arguments for atheism, such as "religion causes wars". It may well do, but that's beside the point.

Faith makes no sense, regardless of whether it's materially good for you or bad for you. Religious types are free to be religious, but they aren't free to be religious and correct at the same time. And we should want to be correct, according to my morality (and most religious people hold that as a value too, I suspect, despite the contradiction).

So if we have a "need" that can be met with faith or alternatively met with reason, that's irrelevant to the question of which we should go for. We should still make sense even if it's a nasty experience.

2) The improbable:

Conjectures are important to science, and for that matter inspiration is important in philosophy, and in art, and anyway there's more to life than science. The view that there isn't is called scientism (although I think the term is only ever used pejoratively, and trying to work out the word for an adherent of scientism is awkward).

Now, scientism is a bad thing. Mr. Spock, for instance, is a tosser, and his claim to always operate on pure logic leads to hypocrisy, because it's unworkable (perhaps illogical). Unfortunately the term scientism is often used as an attack on science and rationality, and in support of religion, in a hand-waving sort of way.

I don't think scientists often *are* scientistic, though it can happen. (Probably it happened more during, say, around 1910 to 1960.)

So ... yes, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Oh, and logical positivism was awful, but that's over now. Having said that, people do still often casually demand proof that a thing (say, God) exists, or doesn't exist, and both of these are wrong-headed. All "proof" can ever be is a challenge to a theory. It's a lot easier to falsify the theory that a thing doesn't exist than to falsify the theory that it does, so we assume things don't exist by default. Given this default, the theory that God exists can be challenged by explanations that better fit uncontroversial facts. i.e. there is no reason to postulate God, any more than celestial teapots, etc. The theory that He doesn't exist can be challenged by producing something best explained as God. Of course this all hinges on one's notion of a best and simplest explanation, and people can be eternally awkward about it if they're irrational enough.

And "let everyone else believe what they want to believe" is a way of saying "shut up", and strikes me as anti-rational. Opinions can't be literally forced down people's throats. The closest we can get is indoctrination, lying, and argument, and the last of those is a good thing, and it's what you're opposing here. Even when the argument only consists of futile back-and-forth yelling, it's still a marginally good thing.

Unless what you mean is "let everyone say what they want to say," in which case fair enough.

The principal force behind The Unusual Times remarkable success, Hieronymus Stone has served as Editor in Chief of this critically acclaimed publication since its very early days. A journalist of the highest caliber, Hieronymus has toiled tirelessly to establish The Unusual Times as a beacon of unusualness amongst the myriad of subpar papers and jejune gazettes that populate street corners and newsstand racks, and are more oft utilized as fuel for woodstove fires or as parsimonious packaging at the local fish-and-chips stall than as informative reading material. Mr. Stone has also co-authored several books including A Gentleman’s Guide to Cucumber Cultivation and Mustaches For Women.

Although he can usually be found laboring away at his editor’s desk, Hieronymus does find time to relax on occasion, and thoroughly enjoys a refreshingly cool Hendrick’s Tonic while participating in one or more of his favorite recreational activities. Hieronymus is a terror with Tiddlywinks, enjoys building miniature models of miniatures, and gets a hoot out of writing the occasional prank letter.

I like him, as I do anyone who takes their alcohol more seriously than "put it in a glass and get it down ya".

Although, I do prefer a tall glass for a gin I must admit.

I love the taste of gin, but I'm allergic to it and it makes my head go bright purple, and my skin goes blotchy.

I love the idea of a 'ritual' for some drinks. A 'correct' way to drink certain drinks. If it's for fun, like a nice thing to do with friends, then it's really cool....but i HATE the idea that you could be sneered at for simply drinking in the 'wrong way'.

This is a normal post this does not suprise me
My ex (of many happy years together) happened to get into the twilight series. One day we are planning the wedding, Christmas 2009, kids names and such.. then...two days after finishing the book and seeing the film, she ups and leaves me. She couldn't possibly in love with me, as surely love is what happens in this book/film series, and without that a relationship is meaningless.

Foolish cow.

Still, she didnt throw acid in my face so I feel somewhat happy about that.

Although Shamen's story, up there, seems to show that there's something in the books. But still, I don't think books can send anyone mental, who isn't most of the way by themselves; same as blaming computer games for violence.

Inviting people to flame another website isn't particularly wise or amusing.

Sickipedia is unlikely to be taken down and most of the people on that forum are sensible to realise that you can actually ignore things on the internet, and that posting a story about sickipedia to a newspaper might have actually been a fairly ill-thought out plan. Stirring things up on their website might be amusing to some, but it's hardly entertainment.
