but how much more annoying are radical religious people then this add?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
The ad is aimed at those people that spend all their time judging others because they are not Christians. Like my mother.
The ad campaign is spot on, there probably isnt a god, and christians beleive in fairy tales so they feel like they have some sort of superiority in there small lives, and so they feel free to discriminate against gay people for no apparent reason.
Possibly the ad is cooked up by the government to get people to spend their 10% tithe at the shopping mall so they can receive some extra tax revenue during these tough financial times!
That's not new.
Personally i'm not a fan of the campaign because it makes all atheists sound like they actually don't care about morality and a bunch of hedonists.
Richard Dawkins is an idiot though.
I mean anyone who actually tries to blame most of the worlds problems on religion generally is as they are deflecting from the reality and afraid to realize how bad people are... and why people need to have a stronger sense of morality because even the best of us do a lot of stuff that they shouldn't be proud of.
Stuff you don't even think of... like for example. I own a computer. I don't need it. Other people don't have food. Should i not feel guilty for owning something i don't need while others don't have things they do need.

I don't see it as intrusive to be honest, there is a difference. I agree it is the same basic principle as the guy in the street, but if the church started a bus campaign it would bother me because it is not some guy screaming in my ear. |
So... your ok with an atheist bus campaign but not ok with a religious one. Isn't that hypocritic?
I think this ad is fairly inoffensive in that it's not really pushing it's point on you and the overall message is a positive one i.e. enjoy your life.
This is not seriously going to convert a person of strong faith and if their faith is strong, why should it offend them, they should dismiss it off-hand as nonsense. The message is obviously targeted at those who are sitting on the fence. I know people who aren't sure about God for various reasons but because of social pressures or their upbringing they are made to feel guilty about their lack of religious faith, why should they.
I would be equally OK with an add saying "Jesus can save you, be happy.", but I'm not OK with, "join religion X or you will burn in hell".
To the person who said, "why are they advertising, they don't need to raise money for a church", you know there are people who spread the word of God for altruistic purposes, why can't this be the same? If you genuinely believed you had the key to happiness, wouldn't you share it?

The fact you compared atheism to a religion is funny enough. Do you not see it as bad as them though? atheists are pushing their view onto others, just like the preachers in the street. I have a religious friend to also hates those people, mainly because he doesn't like the whole pushing religion on people but for them to come to accept their faith on their own. |
I'll step it up a level.
What do Atheists, Vampires, and Jewish lawyers have in common?
They all scream hystericaly when confronted by a cross in a public building.
But seriously, agnostics have a don't know, don't care , and don't understand what the big fuss is about religion. Which is completely the opposite of atheists. Atheists have taken a basic agnostic attitude, distorted it to militant absolutism, and added the worst aspects of religious zeal while trying to convert others. They basically made a religion out of it.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Being told I'm going to hell is offensive but I don't care. its called free speech and in order for a society to have free speech minorities need a voice aswell, however distasteful you may think their message is.
...why do atheists even care? if there is no god, then its not exactly gonna hurt anyone if people believe there is one...

Equally, why do some religious people feel the need to try to indoctrinate people without faith or convert those of another?
