Loading ...There is a God: and He’s angry!
… and taking it out on the buses.
Atheists may be plunged into deep soul-searching after newly released figures suggest an anonymous deity may be exacting revenge on London bus routes which display the “There’s probably no God; now stop worrying and enjoy your life” slogan.
London Student has discovered bus drivers on routes bearing the message recorded a collective 67 per cent increase in Driver Reported Incidents for the month following the introduction of the message.
The already infamous route 29 saw violent incidents treble(from one to three).
A plague of thefts was also visited upon Route 18, which saw a threefold increase in reported incidents (from two to six).
It seems the almighty saved most of his wrath for the 149 between London Bridge and Edmonton Green.
Professor Richard Dawkins, who believes: “the hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything” will be dismayed to learn the statistics show the bus route suffered a biblical 966% increase in incidents of criminal damage after going Atheist (three to 32).
The other routes with buses bearing Atheist slogans: the 38, 73 and 207 also reported significant increases in DRIs.
The campaign to place Atheist bus posters on London buses began last October, raising £100,000 in its first few days. The amount of money donated has since smashed through the £150,000 mark.
Yet with divine retribution an apparently real outcome, Dickie Dawkins and chums should perhaps save the extra bags of gold to smooth the palms of Hell’s ferryman Charon. (Oyster cards not accepted).
London Student understands many concerned commuters are already on their knees and repenting to an Abrahamic God, believed to be active in the North London area.
Yet one leading atheist remains unpurturbed. Brave Professor A.C. Grayling, of Birkbeck College told London Student: “It is quite obvious that the Old Testament deity, running true to form, is responding to lese majeste with the usual mixture of violence and mayhem. This is complete and final proof that deities are not worth believing in.”
Students in London have long suspected a strong religious influence on some of their bus routes.
One UCL student told London Student: “I don’t think you can truly appreciate the atmosphere of the Book of Revelation until you have travelled through Camden Town on the 29.”
But there was some hope for committed atheists. A TfL spokesperson said: “The figures don’t support your story – the number of collisions actually went down about 15%, from 54 in December to 46 in January. The number of incidents and resultant DIRs do fluctuate on a month by month basis.”
Anyone can make statistics twist to their needs, and these incidents could be easily explained away on seasonal changes, or coincidence.
I’ll wager that reductions of incidents on other routes bearing the truth slogan have been conveniently overlooked.
Non-belief is relief from threats of everlasting damnation!
No belief = No hell!
The statistics, if true, offer still nothing substantial to support any superstitious belief regarding a “god” or “gods”. Again, if true, the statistics do, however, offer ample evidence that many human beings continue their long history of irrational violent behaviors associated with their unsubstantiated superstitions. These buses are rather like bait to draw out and reveal those of simple minds and they seem to be working beautifully.
That’s nothing. God sent an earthquake to Rome and Mexico City, so clearly God hates Christians.
Makes just as much, if not more, sense than this tin foil hat drivel.
I wonder how many of the DRI’s were Christians harranging the drivers about the adverts? It’s always the messengers that suffer
non-belief is also an opportunity missed for everlasting bliss.
God does not need you and you
non-belief is also an opportunity missed for everlasting bliss.
