All Aboard Probably The World’s Best Atheist Crowdsourcing Bus
THE atheist bus will be here in…
Well, take a seat and wait. Your driver today is Godot, from Poland:
The campaign to raise money for atheist advertisements on London buses has had me enthralled this week. Not because I’m an atheist, though as it happens I am, but because it’s a fascinating example of crowdsourcing.
So says Shane Richmond. And di you knwo whay the advert says “THERE’S PROBABLY NO GOD - STOP WORRYING AND ENOY LIFE”?
It’s all to do with advertising standards. You can deny God, but the Advertising Standards Authourity are very real, and very terrible. Fact! Probably.

I am horrified that somebody has been allowed to say that there is not a God - and have it written on the side of a bus!
Children may see these buses and become even more fucking evil than they already are.
Salman Rushdie and I have been totally put off our breakfast by this news - so we may have to counter this with some Court action or other in the near future.
Good God! Try telling the McCanns that there is no God!
Just try it!
Christ! The first thing that K-Woman asked for was a Priest for God’s sake!
She didn’t even run down the road to look for M - because she knew it was a far better use of her energy and resources to talk to God through a Priest first.
Of course at this point - she could not have known that Aliens had her daughter - but still ……. She asked for a Priest! And she is a doctor!
And doctors know that there are such things as errrrr …….. God!
Which is an anagram of Dog! - Which somehow K-Woman does not believe in!

Actually, it’s all to do with keeping Richard Dawkin’s happy; he is really not happy at the thought of his colleagues disembowelling him for making an absolute statement that he can’t prove.
For example, Nick Bostrom, Professor, Director, Future of Humanity Institute
Faculty of Philosophy & James Martin 21st Century School, also at Oxford University would probably be happy to oblige.
So, if you want to read something with a little more intellectual weight than the bus can muster, allow me to direct you to Nick Bostrom’s site in general, and his paper
Are You Living In a Computer Simulation?
in particular.
Have fun!

Poor Shane seems to have a bit of a speech impediment or is he a Geordie?
