Whatever. He (she? it?) probably doesn’t exist. I’m not sure how the message is supposed to be reassuring and that you can get on with enjoying your life, but, hey.
I saw that (online not IRL). I thought it was mildly funny, in a crotchety way. Should have included a phrase like "pish posh" or "twaddle and shennanigans" for maximum effect. Maybe I'm biased from having got fed up with religious propaganda.
At least it's better than the US where they have anti-atheist propaganda on random billboards around the country. Like the one I saw in June which was a huge photo of a kid pointing a gun at the camera with the slogan: "IF THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT GOD WHY SHOULD THEY CARE ABOUT YOU?"
My main objection, similarly, was that the message was rather twee and silly looking. I cannot see how it could have been otherwise, but that raises the inevitable question... what's the point in doing it.
I actually didn't know about the anti-Atheist propaganda you mention, but in that case can I be a little smug and happy about living in this island and not in the land of the free....
It's not the nice juicy sexy hellpanic messages I object to so much, that's kind of fun. It's more the constant implication that if you don't go to church it's because you're a bit of a thicko and it hasn't occurred to you--the self-congratulatory stuff...
Anyway, yeah, I hope the message gets plenty of publicity because it's at least giving the whole subject a good airing.
