Atheist buses in Toronto - Atheist - Agnostics Retreat en True Nudists

Jan 25, 2009

A lot of people have heard about the atheist bus campaign in London, which has now spread to Europe and the USA... now it has spread to Toronto! Check out www.atheistbus.ca for info.

There's definitely interest in Canada... over $20,000 was raised from individual donations in the first week. Any of the Canadian members here donated/thinking of donating?

An interesting contrast. At about the same time in Utah, a group put up a billboard quoting John Lennon: "Imagine no religion." Within days pressure from the public forced them to take it down. (I'm pressed for time right now; I'll try to find a link to a news story when I have a bit more.)

The original bus ads in London were in response to some hell-and-brimstone ads that were put up on buses there. If you can say stuff about a lake of fire, presumably you can say that probably, there's no god. Seems fair.
Utah has always been its own place, though, so it's hard to make a call on that one. Link welcome if you find it though.

It is beyond me, how supposedly educated intelligent people, can possibly believe in something that they can't prove and blatantly goes against the most basic common sense. I can only hope, that as with Greek Mythology, The majority will one day see the light, If we last that long! Phil.

Half the churches in my area have signs that proclaim Christ is risen or whatnot. But since there are very few Atheist temples, they just can't compete on a one to one level.
Gotta help the misinformed somehow!

Just wondering if there is anything that can bring people together. God was such a good bringer together of people. Though of course a huge divider as well. Is there just a vaccum left in th wake of the death of God. Or is atheism as the name implies simply the negation of something and therefore nothing in its own right? Are we essentially as Timothy Hitchens has just suggested in a BBC debate, moulded by/ defined by the Enlightenment. Are we humanists?
