News reports abound of an increasingly vocal nonreligious movement that appears to be gaining popularity. According to the Washington Post Foreign Service:
"Thousands of people in Britain recently raised $200,000 to place an ad on 800 London buses that reads: 'There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'"
This seems to be the theme of many such campaigns that are spreading world-wide. I have a few questions: Why would these athiest groups choose to use the word "probably" in their statement, and if there is no God, then what is it that these athiests believe people are worried about? Could it be their God-implanted conscience that causes them a bit of angst?
Here's my point...according to Psalm 51:3, it's merely a fool who says in his heart there is no God.

Amen! it seems that many athiests are not solid in their beliefs. Last year I worked with an athiest who asked me to turn off my Christian music I had playing softly while I worked. I told him I respected his opinion and turned it off because I certainly wouldn't want him playing something that offended me (like songs that disrespect my Lord and have a lot of cursing in them). Then I proceeded to ask him what it was about my music that offended him so greatly. Was it the positive outlook on life the songs provided? Was is the fact that God was mentioned in the songs? or what? His fierce rebuttle..."I have rights you know." So, I said, "Okay, well your rights have been respected." Then he just walked off. All I know is if I am truly offended by something and someone asks me why, I would be able to quickly name the reasons why I was offended. I think SOME athiests are merely athiests to be different or troublesome...they have rights, too, you know.
