Why are they allowed to say “there DEFINITELY is a god”, but we have to be, y’know, honest, and say “there PROBABLY is no god”? What gives them the right to lie through their teeth?

@james hill – I complained to the ASA too and got exactly the same reply as you did. Ludicrous.

Well, when you go to a party, you’re sometimes asked for a participation fee, because there are drinks to buy and sometimes the hall has to be rent for quite a sum of money. I don’t know if the party is any good. On the one hand, I guess there’s free wine and crackers for everyone. On the other hand, the music must be crappy christian rock, so I don’t know.

Oh, wait… you mean it’s not that kind of party…?

$10 for 12 text messages? Sign me up to work for the Christian Party. Sounds easier than those envelope stuffing jobs advertised on the side of the road.

Should someone actually challenge the accuracy of the claim made by the christian’s ad. It said “definitely”, so proof of existence of god should be required, right?

Dave,

You real, or just a spambot posting random phrases from Ray Comfort’s blog?

Impossible to tell. Someone call Alan Turing.

No surprise. Churches are businesses designed to bring in converts and $$$, nothing more. While some aren’t as blatant as this, the reality remains the same.

I forsee a new Atheist streetcar ad:

$9.99? Are you Out of Your Mind??!?

Atheism: Still Free of Charge.

And did anyone else laugh that it’s 9.99 to be a Christian Party Texter?

Does anyone remember the old Saturday Night Live spoof of “The Omen”? The one where they check the kid’s forehead by leaning his head back and say “nah, there’s just three nines.”

that’s FUNNNY! D

James Hill Says:February 27th, 2009 at 2:52 pm Hey there, I complained about this ad in London and got this pathetic letter reply

So, what we need to do is start an Atheist Party and post all our ads through them so we can start slipping through stronger ads as political ads!
