		<description>Well done Richard Dawkins!... Interest in God was dwindling and thanks to your campaign it has made people think about God. Remember God is Sovereign and He is ultimately in control of everything... including your campaign!

		<description>field - 

IF what I had said was &quot;nonsense,&quot; as you call it, anyone of any knowledge would not have replied. Someone with sense would have disregarded my comment and said nothing in return. Oh, and by the way, you will notice I said an atheist is his or her own god, not God. There is a difference. One is a supreme and divine Ruler while the other is just a sad attempt at allowing oneself or another pathetic idol to rule one&#039;s life. And yes, dear, anyone who does not serve God serves another. For you, I would say you serve a god of ignorance, or yourself, if that suits you better. I could argue all day on this subject. Because I serve a God with no limits, my replies too, are unlimited. Though I do hate to insult, as it&#039;s not very desirable or attractive, I must revert back to my childish ways and say &quot;you started it.&quot; And since my argument still stands, I would have to say no, field, even YOU couldn&#039;t bat it away.

Now then, why don&#039;t you run along and read some books by other atheists? Maybe some C.S. Lewis? Lee Strobel? Oh, wait...they believe in God now. Because THEY had the nerve to try to disprove God&#039;s existence. And guess what. He won. When you decide to take a rational approach to disprove God yourself, comment back. I&#039;m sure that if you actually set out to do it, you&#039;d be quite humbled and admit yourself the fool that you obviously are. Bet you&#039;d become a Christian, too. Many mediocre people have been in your place before...they accepted God and became great. I don&#039;t have to prove my God exists, nor must I defend Him. YOU have to convince the world that we just appeared out of thin air. Good luck!</description>

		<description>&#039;Stop worrying and enjoy life&#039; is rather good advice. Simply to make vulnerable people uneasy is pretty ghastly, I agree.
But there it is, in Matthew 11 v28 - Christ recorded as saying &#039;Come to me..&#039; and promising so much, so graciously. Go there and read (just that little bit) with an open heart - OK, you can protest that it may be beautiful but not a living person speaking - but perhaps such an appeal might be worth a bit of honest, even if sceptical, following up. (&#039;If it&#039;s you, please convince me&#039; seems to me a strong and honest approach).
It&#039;s not failing to be able to believe that&#039;s the death of us - it&#039;s deliberate hard-heartedness. And that&#039;s misery, anyway; how can you enjoy life like that?</description>

		<description>82,000 ish.
Those alpha course adverts must really have been getting on peoples nerves.

Can&#039;t help thinking that sort of money could do some real good in the world rather than just allow some smug atheists to congratulate eachother on how clever they are</description>

Have you had Irony Bypass Surgery or something? Anyway, I&#039;m not religious. You can conclude there is a deity without adopting a religion you know. And you can only be religious if you do follow a religion (however hapazardly) or several (however haphazardly). I don&#039;t follow any religions.

What you say is complete nonsense. A God or deity is an entity with certain attributes (e.g the capacity to generate or create a cosmos) that don&#039;t accord with those of a human being. So it is nonsense to say that a human being can become a God. If you mean &quot;take the place of God as far as possible&quot;, then say so.  But even then it&#039;s a very weak argument that could be batted away by even the slowest of atheists.  



I am arguing for the existence of a deity on rational grounds, not because someone has told me to. 

As already indicated I welcome the campaign and engagement of atheists in debate with theists and deists (and followers of non-theistic religions, such as Buddhism and Taoism).</description>

		<description>Atheism is the belief that there is no God. However, if an atheist lives by ruling his or her own life, wouldn&#039;t that in turn make the atheist his or her own god, thus disproving atheism from the beginning? And, if an atheist, in a sense, becomes his or her own god, yet does not BELIEVE in a God, wouldn&#039;t that disprove his or her own existence? I fail to see the reasoning behind such ignorance.</description>

		<description>For religious folk like field who suggest “I can’t be bothered to continue arguing”

&quot;There is a God that answers prayers after all…&quot;

They sure seem a bit lost when its quite obvious they infact argue like school kids .

But thats all part of the importance of this bus campaign its about enlightening the religious who with such bigotry , are quite happy to see pro religious campaigns yet attack and show such complete intolerance of any other way of thinking .

The first step to any change is to first get the attention of those that need to be entering into discussion ,and this bus campaign judging by the extent of outcry from the biased religious seems to most definitely have achieved that first step. 

Its a wonderful thing .</description>

		<description>Not sad. 

Happy to know I am ignorant - as Socrates was (better than not knowing you are ignorant). 

As for the last one, comment is free as they say.</description>
