Atheism bus advertising stalls in Italy

 

GENOA, Italy, Feb. 16 (UPI) Atheists' first rolling advertisement in Italy got off to an ignominious start Monday when the bus touting their doubt in God, perhaps inexplicably, conked out.

No sooner had the bus – - carrying the message "The Good News Is There Are Millions of Atheists In Italy; The Excellent News Is They Believe In Freedom Of Expression" – - headed out onto the streets of Genoa than it developed a battery problem and had to head back to the depot for repairs, ANSA reported.

''By pure chance,'' a member of the Italian Union of Atheists, Agnostics and Rationalists told the Italian news agency, ''the vehicle left the depot bright and early but had to go straight back because of a 'curious' problem with the batteries."

It was the second setback for the group, which earlier altered its message because of opposition by religious protesters.

Originally, the message was to have been "The Bad News Is God Doesn't Exist. The Good News Is You Don't Need Him."

The bus advertising is to go on for a month in Genoa and possibly spread to other Italian cities. The campaign follows similar efforts in Washington, London and Barcelona, Spain.

The campaign has also used the slogan: ''There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Athiesm make the word "morals"..a very elastic word….but every one inside himself know what is what…

 

Athism didn't MAKE the word or concept, Atheists do however agree with the second part of your sentence, that morality comes from the person (via biology and sociology) and not from any divine source. 

 

''There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

THERE IS NATURELY ONE REALLY GOD . SO WE STOPPED WORYING AND ENJOY OUR SELVES .

I WONDER WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THEM AND US .

It seems clear, no?

The difference, they don't know any thing about what after death so they live just for life and death is great problem for them and they seek for this a solutionCrybut in vain

 

I won't presume to speak for all atheists, but I think most of us are pretty certain there is nothing after death; a clear difference from not knowing anything. Death is not a problem and generally we are not seeking any solution.

The great thing about this life is everybody gets its own path in life. You choose how to live and you get whatever you deserve. If you live for this life you get this life. But nobody ends in the same grave. Each of us gets a special unique life. No two similars. Smile
