There is Probably No God...

The atheist slogan, "There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life," may soon be coming to subways and buses in Canada's largest city.

The Toronto-based Freethought Association of Canada, inspired by a campaign that has plastered British buses with the phrase, has contacted the private firm that handles ads on the Toronto Transit Commission to see if the message would violate any rules. The rest of the story is here.

It is interesting to see how this will play out. I have no problem with this. I disagree with the slogan, but believe that God is big enough to defend Himself. Also, we are responsible to put forth an image of God that is true and Biblical. I hope that it will generate lots of spiritual conversations about the reality of God and give opportunity for sharing the stories of God at work in real life. I believe that most Canadians just do not resonate with this slogan as Polls show about 72% believe in God.
