Now stop worrying and get on with your life,&#8217; is to be stuck on bendy-buses.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, an atheist blogger named Jon Worth came up with the idea, but his fellow humanists, not known for their generosity, wouldn&#8217;t stump up the cash. Now Richard Dawkins, whose anti-Christian zeal knows little bounds, is to finance the doomed venture.<\/p>\n<p>Should the ads be placed on London &#8216;s Bendy-Buses, it would be a highly-appropriate move since these have proved to be a danger to the public and are due for the chop under new Mayor Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, said today:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;How funny that Richard Dawkins is so scared of the threat which evangelical Christianity poses to atheism and his beloved Darwinism that he has to fund a campaign to attack God. He really is the nearest thing atheists have to an evangelist while his belief in non-belief is held with a fervour which many religious people would do well to emulate, so long as they don&#8217;t make themselves look as inept as he so often does, poor man.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I should be surprised if a quasi-religious advertising campaign like this did not attract graffiti. People don&#8217;t like being preached at. Sometimes it does them good, but they still don&#8217;t like it. The advertising space on a bendy-bus is just the right height as well. But the graffiti artists, and indeed the atheist advertisers will have to be quick or the bendy-buses will be off the road in Boris&#8217;s purge, taking the anti-God message with them. Bendy-buses, like atheism, are a danger to the public at large.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It occurs to me that the addition of just a few words from Psalm 14 would make the entire message Biblical: &#8220;The fool hath said in his heart &#8230;&#8221; &#8216;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Join Christian Voice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/?page_id=1003\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1013\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Join Christian Voice Today!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/join_today_button.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"136\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/uk\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=zbOnPPjCHQ8dnM4QE_F_g3TAH5KBKtacyBIcjWNwPmU5rwHU0e7O1SgGX-W&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d35d0e363192f28ea2a5d17702da0dbf0\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1026\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" title=\"donate-paypal\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/donate-paypal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"52\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard Dawkins is so concerned that the atheist message is dying on its feet that he is to fund a humanist evangelistic campaign, Christian Voice has learned.
