Christian Voice have lodged a complaint with the Advertising Standards Association about those [i]"There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."[/i] adverts.

The basis of their complaint is that ASA's code states [i]"marketers must hold documentary evidence to prove all claims"[/i].

That works both ways.

They should ask Christian Voice to prove their belief. If I recall the Hitchhiker's Guide God refuses to prove that he exists because proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing.

Counter complaint from Richard Dawkins in 10......9......8......

I'm sure they get round the lack of evidence quite nicely by using the word "probably". Just like Carlsberg.

I like the Christian voice guys idea of "evidence"

"There is plenty of evidence for God, from people's personal experience, to the complexity, interdependence, beauty and design of the natural world.

Sign me up, I'm convinced!

Christian Voice is pretty much just one bloke, Stephen Green, with a big mouth and about a thousand newsletter subscribers.

We have no problems with people having their own beliefs, as long as they dont conflict with ours.
This is how Nazi Germany started!

I'm no historian, but I don't remember Christian Voice starting Nazi Germany.
Wasn't it some guy with a dodgy tache?

Jesus was a Jew. Jews are Israely, Israel undertakes war crimes. Jesus is a war criminal. Christians believe in Jesus, All Christians are war criminals.

The Queen is head of the Church of England. So, the Queen is a war criminal. The Queen is the British head of state, so all Britons are war criminals. Tony Blair is British...

Hey, the logic works!

The queen has a beard, so she is the head of the church of england, which was set up by Henry 8th, who also had a beard.
