Calgary joins Toronto in running atheist bus ads
I cannot understand anyone who would be against these ads. If someone does not believe,let them shout it from the roof tops.

CALGARY — Atheist ads will start running Monday in Calgary — only the second Canadian city after Toronto to accept the controversial messages on its public-transit vehicles.


Signs bearing the message, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life,” will appear on eight Calgary buses for four weeks

1. Seems to me...

If people can buy up billboard space and market religion, then people should be able to buy up billboard space and market no religion.

Seems perfectly equitable to me but you KNOW some people will be pissed off.

Edited: Because typos are my life.

2. Surprises me to see that surviving in Alberta
Then again, one of their ridings did go orange in the last election, so maybe things are improving there.

3. It was probably the riding around UC. I can't see these being tolerated in AL either.
