The following article from Foxnews.com discusses atheist attacks on "religion" and the perceived religious preference on the signage of London Buses.
The message, "There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
The full story:
The central message that I take from this is two fold:
1. There arguments are not new.
Psalm 53:1 state, "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good."
This is just another vain attempt to attack God and pull people away from him and attempt to justify their lostness. In the article one atheist talks about how "thinking" is the "anathema" to religion.
But the Scriptures say, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight." (Proverbs 9:10)
2. Every area of Christian expression is being attacked.
Honestly, why attack signage on a bus? Advertisement in this day and age is just "noise" anyway.
It just shows that every attack is fueled by the utter hatred that fallen man has for God.
John 15:18 states that we should not be surprised, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you."
This also gives me hope though. We must proclaim the true gospel more clearly. Calling all people to REPENT! My prayer is that the Gospel will continue to spread!

I hope you guys find this informative.
Ralton, I saw this article on FoxNews.com yesterday and thought "Man, one of us really needs to do a blog on this" and within 30 mins I got a text from you telling me you already had. You're always a step ahead.
One thing this article shows is the mindset of a world with no hope. They truly think that there is no life after this one. Oh, what utter hopelessness they live in! But the apostle Paul saw this in his day too. He quoted Isaiah when he said "If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. 1 Cor. 15:32 (NASB) That is the only logic these people can possibly have. If we have no future hope in Christ then why not live like hell?
But the glorious new is that we DO have hope in Christ! I am the kind of guy that starts celebrating Christmas as soon as possible. Today is two months from Christmas Eve and it is a great reminder to us that "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Gal. 4:4-5 (NASB). You see that is the hope that we have. We have the hope of a future life because of the Death of Christ.
The signs also said that since there is no God you could "Enjoy your life." Again, that shows how ignorant people are of what Christianity is. I can not possibly imagine how much less I would enjoy life if I were not a Christian. How could I if there was the inevitable nothingness that loomed ahead of me. What do you do when someone you love if there is nothing else? What do you do when you have a major financial crisis if there is no hope of treasure in heaven? If life was pointless and we were all going to die anyway I would be depressed. Now, not to sound contradictory to what I have said previously about how one would live if there was no hope after this life. Certainly one could live however they wished, but that kind of life does not bring out joy or fulfillment. There is a deep emptiness that hovers over these people's lives. An emptiness that leaves them wanting something more. They will find this only in Christ because he said " I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10 (NASB)
Who is the lloyd with short hair? Just kidding. You took the words right out of my mouth. Well said...
