United States atheists are following their foreign atheist compatriots’ bus ads ( in England, Spain, Italy, and Canada) with a billboard ad campaign in Colorodo tauting life without God. Grand Junction is one of two major east-west routes (via highway 70) in the U.S.A. and borders Utah, home to some of the most beautiful and geological interesting land in our western National Parks: Bryce, Zion, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and driving access to Grand Canyon’s North Rim.
Grand Junction is also the home to the creationist organization Alpha and Omega Institute, which is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary this year!

Finding joy with and without God

2009 has certainly started off with a bang. We’ve got a new American president being hailed as a saviour, an Airbus ditching in the Hudson River hailed as a miracle, while atheists in several countries, including Canada, are mounting ad campaigns on the sides of transit buses claiming God doesn’t exist.
I got to thinking, then, putting all three of these events together, what would go through your mind if, by chance, you are on Flight 1549 on Jan. 15 as it takes off from LaGuardia Airport, rises to 3,000 feet and then, wham, the plane shudders and both engines go silent and there you are gliding without any power over the skyscrapers of New York?
But not to worry, because you look up and there on the plane’s TV screen is a news report on the atheist bus ad campaign in London, England, showing a red doubledecker bus with a large poster on its side declaring “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
