The atheist bus campaign, and hell

Posted by Margaret on Wednesday, Apr 8, 2009

Fire

The campaign was the idea of comedy writer Ariane Sherine, who’d seen some Christian bus ads with a link to a website with an unpleasant message. How unpleasant? Judge for yourself. I especially dislike the bit about God’s wrath if you reject him – 

You will be condemned to everlasting separation from God and then you spend all eternity in torment in hell. Jesus spoke about this as a lake of fire which was prepared for the devil and all his angels (demonic spirits) (Matthew 25: 41).

It’s staggering that people who can walk and talk and (presumably) tie their own shoelaces still believe in fire and brimstone in 2009.
