Posters with such slogans have reportedly appeared on 800 buses in angst-ridden England, Scotland and Wales, as well as on the London Underground: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." Note the word: "probably." Hah! Such confidence. Whistling in the graveyard. If you're into probabilities, I'd suggest Pascal's wager: he knew something about the odds at stake in gambling one's life. And now, apparently, the 'No God' campaign of these desperate wannabe-reassured-but-not-so-confident 'atheists' is drawing criticism from the opposition; and the best they can answer in reply is "peals of laughter." Breathtaking intellectual integrity. Funny how wannabe 'atheists' worry and fret so ... while accusing the impassive Church of being animated by fear.
