		<description>Would you not rather drive at a safe speed when there are no traffic police on the road, because if you don't and they suddenly lay a trap you will be sure to get nabbed.

Would you rather not believe that God exists and then do what is right as a godly human being than be an ungodly person and discover when its too late that you should have just listened, after all you all have that little voice telling you now that you are wrong. He is there Alive.

This is serious stuff. The advert in question seems to subscribe to the school of thought that believing in God makes you sad, but God has nothing to do with your sadness he is the creator of happiness and man makes another man sad, where does God come into this. The advert may have meant more sense if it said there is probably noone sane, so join them and be all mad. Because there are very few sane beings out there,me included.

Questioning God's existence because of ulterior human behaviours is like blaming money as the root of all evil; in both cases it is neither God nor the money to blame, it is you and me bringing God and money into desrepute.


I will tell you now and forever be aware that, putting an advert on a bus does not stop his existence, neither does it offend genuine christians. The fact that you do not believe in God, does not invalidate his existence nor does it decrease our belief and in any case we know that until you repent; and as sure as the sun still rises from the east to the west, a day will come and you will remember today and know that indeed God exists. My question to all who do not believe is 

            "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO THAT DAY?"


Thank you

		<description>Well said, Marcus.

The funny thing is, Rob Hughes didn't actually call Hitler and atheist. He called him a "secular humanist", which is even more ignorant.</description>

		<description>Hi Rob Hughes, typos are forgiven, but I find your statement *I know enough about people and human history to know that the greatest atrocities that have occurred in this world have occurred independent of religion. Secular humanists like Hitler ... have brought about a far greater evil than religion ever has.*

All I can say is that your knowledge of human history is nothing short of lamentable if you believe Hitler was an atheist

Adolf Hitler was baptised in a Catholic Church in 1889 and was never be excommunicated or in any other way officially censured by the Catholic Church. 

Hitler frequently referred to God and Christianity in his various speeches and writings. 

In one 1933 speech, he said that *To do justice to God and our own conscience, we have turned once more to the German Volk.* 

In another he said: *We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.*

In a 1922 speech, he said: *My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison.*

Some atheist, huh?

		<description>Hi Marcus

Apologies for the typos, I was rather rushed the other day. 

You state that on the basis that a Christian woman was killed we can deduce that religion is to blame for an attack on freedom?? I am from planet earth (to answer your question) and I know enough about people and human history to know that the greatest atrocities that have occurred in this world have occurred independent of religion. Secular humanists like Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot and Stalin have brought about a far greater evil than religion ever has.</description>
