I think its great you have decided to come to a decision regarding your beliefs as many people just follow what their parents have taught them in blind faith. I heard Mrs Sherine speak yesterday on talk sport and she used the argument of science and primarily of the big bang theory as an argument against religion. I would just like to inform you that if you read the English translation of the Quran it mentions the big bang as well and is compatible with modern science but the difference is what science has come to know in recent times its has already been mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago. You just have to Google ‘Dr Zakir Naik Quran and Modern Science’ and it will come up with his short piece explaining all the things modern science has discovered in recent time which has already been reviled.

It amuses me how offended both the non-believers and the believers get. I don't consider myself religious, because the word 'religious' implies ritual, something that the God I worship doesn't care much for. I have a deep and meaningful relationship with my God.
The reason why these non-believers and believers are getting so aggressive with each other is simple: the atheist cannot see the logic behind a supposed 'imaginary' figure and thinks the Christian is a lunatic; and the Christian can't understand why the atheist cannot see what is so clear and real to them. As much as we try we will never prove to the other the existence or non-existence of God. Only God has this power. We can only pray that God changes hearts of atheists like He has done countless times before, myself included. In that moment, your entire belief system changes for the better. And why wouldn't it? Because you are suddenly confronted with the most amazing, powerful, all-consuming power of God!
It's just like what happened in the book of Acts to Saul (later Paul). He was so anti-Christian he was on his way to kill Christians! Until God changed him. In a second. So what is my point? My advice is to the Christians. Stop accusing people who don't believe in our God. Stop getting aggressive. They are our brothers in sisters in Christ, that Jesus Himself created, who are we to disrespect them? Our mandate is to portray Godly lives to all around us, not to attack. When God is ready to change hearts, He will do it. But God will never change hearts through our aggression, that you can be assured of.

I think the Athiest Buses are sick and should not be allowed on the streets.

I am a young college student trying to decide what I truly believe. I feel that billboards preaching Christianity, Why Islam? ads in trains, and the atheist bus campaign are all the same. Each want people to support them. And this is just human nature. Everyone wants support. Everyone wants praise. Everyone wants to be "right". As soon as I decide what bandwagon to jump onto, I know that I will not be one to either offend nor be offended by others.
And that is what religion, or non-religion, truly is: a bandwagon. As taught in philosophy classes around the globe, there is only one answer to any debate, in the end. There really is only one "correct" answer. But honestly, with all the evidence pointing to BOTH directions (sorry atheists, but Christians have some decent ideas as well, if you look hard enough :) ) it really is impossible to pinpoint at this moment in time who is right and who is wrong. So why fight it? This is completely naive and completely ridiculously cliché to say, but can't we all just get along?
The Atheist bus campaign just wants to get its ideology across. I think its wonderful. I chuckle every time I read about it and the debate it has stirred up. It is not trying to convert. It's trying to reassure fearful agnostics and rally atheists to 'come out' of the religion closet. So let it be. <3

Those Whom God Calls Fools:
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalm 14:1).
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,....
(1 Corinthians 1:18).
You fools, when will you become wise? (Psalm 94:8).
Bible Prophecy
"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God."
-Abraham Lincoln
Dear Atheist
Jesus foresaw that there would be those (Atheist) who would not believe in Him.
Jesus said, "...there are some of you who do NOT believe." (John 6:64).
The cause of atheism may be that "Satan...blinds the minds of unbelievers,...."
(2 Cor. 4:4).
If a person does not believe, they can ask Jesus to "help them overcome their unbelief!" (Mark 9:24).
Bible Prophecy
This is a bit of a puzzle. Jesus said 'Don't worry about your life; don't worry about tomorrow' and 'I've come so that people can live life to the full.' There's a book in the Jewish scriptures that says, 'Banish anxiety from your mind' and 'There's nothing better for people under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad.' That's two major religions saying 'Stop worrying and enjoy your life', so how can this be an atheist slogan? Lisa
