Atheist London Bus Ads: Huge success!!!
Posted by Katsushiro in Atheism, Everyday Entry, Religion, SkepticismRemember that campaign to get some atheist-themed ads on London buses? The original idea was to raise about $8000 to put these ads on about 30 buses in the London area. How’d that turn out?
Today, thanks to many Cif readers, the overall total raised for the Atheist Bus Campaign stands at a truly overwhelming £135,000, breaking our original target of £5,500 by over 2400%. Given this unexpected amount, I’m very excited to tell you that 800 buses – instead of the 30 we were initially aiming for – are now rolling out across the UK with the slogan, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”, in locations all over England, Scotland and Wales, including Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, York, Cardiff, Devon, Leeds, Bristol and Aberdeen.From today’s launch, two hundred of the buses will run in London, because the campaign was originally started as a positive counter-response to the Jesus Said ads running on London buses in June 2008. These ads displayed the URL of a website which stated that non-Christians “will be condemned to everlasting separation from God and then you spend all eternity in torment in hell … Jesus spoke about this as a lake of fire prepared for the devil”. Our rational slogan will hopefully reassure anyone who has been scared by this kind of evangelism.

Hi Katsushiro…
I read your PRTC-DSL post from a while back…
Been trying to set up an ftp file server at home to access from outside, could never get it working.

I must say, I learned a thing or two from your PRTC post.
I also use PRTC DSL, am in Guaynabo, PR.
Any help would be appreciated!!
