I was surprised to learn that NZ Bus has decided to reject the Athiest Bus Ads that were to run on the buses in Auckland.
The ads were to read “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
However Auckland bus operator NZ Bus is not going to run the ads because of complaints.
I find this move odd and think in the long run that it is sets a bad prescient. The ads are not worded offensively and they are not provocative either.
If christians and other religious folk are willing to scream when prayers are removed form school, parliament, and other places etc, then surely they should be willing to stand beside the athiests when they are expressing their views with the same freedoms that they demand at other times.
Overall this is a bad move and look for the religious folk.
