YZF should get a kick out of this one :bigthumb:

GENOA, Italy, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Atheists' first rolling advertisement in Italy got off to an ignominious start Monday when the bus touting their doubt in God, perhaps inexplicably, conked out.
No sooner had the bus -- carrying the message "The Good News Is There Are Millions of Atheists In Italy; The Excellent News Is They Believe In Freedom Of Expression" -- headed out onto the streets of Genoa than it developed a battery problem and had to head back to the depot for repairs, ANSA reported.

''By pure chance,'' a member of the Italian Union of Atheists, Agnostics and Rationalists told the Italian news agency, ''the vehicle left the depot bright and early but had to go straight back because of a 'curious' problem with the batteries."

It was the second setback for the group, which earlier altered its message because of opposition by religious protesters.

Originally, the message was to have been "The Bad News Is God Doesn't Exist. The Good News Is You Don't Need Him."

The bus advertising is to go on for a month in Genoa and possibly spread to other Italian cities. The campaign follows similar efforts in Washington, London and Barcelona, Spain.

The campaign has also used the slogan: ''There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

I just figured it was a little divine intervention and not a "sign of the times" that stopped the bus :bigthumb:

I know what you're getting at, just trying to inject a little humor into the religion section :peace:

it's kind of like the homos, they have this aggressive agenda of wanting to fundamentally change society with their warped philsophies

signs of the times, folks....signs of the times

Nevermind a good number of "homos" are religious and are a product of religious backgrounds. I.E Haggard, MacArthur, etc.....

Funny i see more immorality in religion (Christianity) than anywhere else. I don't see any atheists on here wishing death upon other people.

How many true Christians do you know in real life? I bet it's zero.

Most of my girlfriends have been Christian. They like it the dirtiest.

Nope not catholic (except for one). I'm looking to get some Hebrew this weekend.

You religious people are no different anyways. All hypocrites to your beliefs.

you atheists are all the same: immoral, and it's ironic you call anyone a "hypocrite" when you stand for exactly nothing

Why would that make someone a hypocrite if they are going against a belief of nothing?

you atheists are all the same: immoral, and it's ironic you call anyone a "hypocrite" when you stand for exactly nothing

Based on your beliefs....absolutely.

I'm sure i have done more good deeds here and in third world countries than you ever will. I'm willing to bet i have been a better human being than you. I stand for humanity and making the world a better place. While you look forward to the destruction of it.

good for you, but all I consistently see from you here and on rx7club is boasting about immorality, so that may have been 10 years ago, but it's safe to say you live an immoral lifestyle now

You can think all you want. It's safe to say your opinion of me is meaningless.



I think you stand for Frank, and making Frank's world a better place, while looking down on everyone else...again, just judging by what you consistently post

Yes because all i talk about is myself. You have no idea what you are even talking about. You are the egotistical one constantly trying to prove how much better you are in ways that nobody cares about.



again, I look forward to the end of lies, and those who propagate them

Well then i guess it makes sense that you look forward to death.

Completely not true.

Feel free to compare threads made in the porn section to yourself. I hardly ever even go in there. I don't "delight" in abortions but I think the option should be available. There are few people I hate in this world and none of them are on this board.
