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.
Richard Dawkins is involved. He's an egomaniac who appears to be trying to turn himself into a religious figure, almost attempting to become a messiah for the humanists. He should stick to genetics and shagging his students...and I'll sick to being a fuffy tree hugging Pagan.
I actually have a lot of time for Richard Dawkins in several respects: he's a very good popular science writer, at least when he's writing about the field he knows about; I find his books inspiring to me; they do transmit to me the amazingly intricate wonder of the natural world, without having to involve a supernatural invisible friend in the sky. On the other hand, the way he forces his views on religion -which I share, btw, 100% and I do think religion is a nefarious influence, on the whole- can be quite irritating -you're right, there would appear to be something of the religious fanatic in him.
My main problem with the bus campaign is that it looks silly and twee. I cannot see how it could be otherwise without offending people but then, why do it in the first place then.
Given the state of the world, I think I rather believe in the existence of a blind, idiot god in the bowels of the universe, that mean and stupid god of Lovecraft's, Azazoth...
