It amazes me how militant atheism is becoming a parody of the religious right in America which it so despises. Prof. Richard Dawkins, the leading exponent of fundamentalist atheism, has agreed to match pound for pound money donated to pay for the campaign.
And anyway - when you believe in something so vehemently, how come you cant come up with a better slogan than "There is probably no God!" It is absolutely classic. And because there is a God, and His Holy Spirit is in the business of convicting people of their sin, and revealing Jesus, then this advert could well be the best money spent in promoting Christian faith since Ceasar paid for Pauls room and board in a Roman prison cell!
It is therefore no wonder that a Christian group "Theos" have donated £50 to the cause.
Quoting from the article in the Daily Telegraph online "Theos believes the "weak" adverts will encourage people to think about God.
The article continues...
Its director, Paul Woolley, said: "Initially, we almost felt sorry for the campaign, as its difficulties showed that there were not many atheists in Britain, and certainly not many who were willing to put their hands into their pockets. But when we saw the message, we couldn't believe it.
"Stunts like this demonstrate how militant atheists are often great adverts for Christianity."
The Rev Jenny Ellis, spirituality and discipleship officer of the British Methodist Church, added: "This campaign will be a good thing if it gets people to engage with the deepest questions of life."
If you see the ads. make sure to draw someones attention to them. Ask them what they think! You never know, it may be just the thing to lead someone to Jesus!
