The Lord works in mysterious ways, you can praise what you want batman but you cannot deny you have to think about God when you see those signs

I don't 'have to' do anything. But yes, it will make some people think about it, some may decide they like the prospect of there being a God, some may think it's liberating to think there is no God, some may question their belief that there is a God. To state that these ads will make people praise God seems rather wishful to me. It's a bit like saying a coke ad will increase sales of Pepsi

Re: Atheist ads on London buses

To be honest, I think people are aware of the notion of a God. I don't think it requires advertising...

That reminds me of the pulling techniques of some of my mates up the valleys - eye contact with a woman is considered acceptance of marriage

Quote:
In a somewhat cheeky move, the Rev George Hargreaves of the Christian Party has created a bus advert which proclaims: "There definitely is a God. So join the Christian Party and enjoy your life." It will run on 50 bendy buses in central London, east London and the West End.
Sounds like a statement of fact. Quick someone call the ASA!
