A Foolish Decision

“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; there is no one who does good.” Psalm 14:1

Rejecting protests by Christian groups, Britain’s advertising watchdog agency has given the go-ahead to a campaign to plaster atheist signs on hundreds of buses and other vehicles across the country. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the campaign, which uses the “no God” slogan, was unlikely to mislead or “cause serious or widespread offense.”

The ASA is a powerful regulator set up as a self-governing agency for the nation’s advertising industry, with the authority to take its cases to the government’s Office of Fair Trading. As such, its decisions are rarely, if ever, challenged.

The British Humanist Association sponsored the $100,000 ad campaign, with signs that say: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” The ads will be placed on some 200 buses in London and on 600 other vehicles in England, Scotland, and Wales.

So you put a sign on a bus and say there is no God...do you really think that will create a life that is worry free? I am reminded of the saying,
“No God, No Peace – Know God, Know Peace.”

May the grace and peace of the living God be yours today.
