The Lords Prayer advert now banned in cinemas.

Such humility must be a great comfort for you chaps.

Humility might lead you to accept that there isn't a grand plan or design behind your existence and your own insignificance to the universe. It's a lack of ability to accept that and the need to feel some relevance that drives people to turn to their imaginary friend.

Perfectly put.
 
It is amusing to witness the Bluemoon Atheist Attack Dogs woofing in triumph over the demise of religion. Meanwhile 90+% of the planet's population continue with their faith.

Atheist Attack Dogs ? And with one phrase, you fell off your high horse.

Paul Blanchard has said what many were already thinking: that this is noting more than a clever PR stunt

The Reverend Arun Arora, director of communications for the Church of England, said: "We find that really astonishing, disappointing and rather bewildering." When I read this I did literally spit out my cornflakes. I've never know a director of communication for any large, national organisation to be bewildered by anything at all.

At the moment, the Church is protesting too much and if it's not careful, everyone will start to twig that this whole thing is a PR stunt. In fact, I see on Twitter that they are now threatening legal action against DCM. Good luck with that. It'll be quietly dropped once they've wrung a few more days of PR out of that angle.

I've got nothing against these kind of PR stunts. If this was a business I'd say 'well played'. But the Church of England is not a business, it's a religious organisation, one that expounds the virtues of transparency, honesty, truthfulness and morality.

I don't know why you waste your precious time arguing with such craven weaklings. Maybe you feel they should share your view of everything as a purposeless random cosmic accident because they are just too happy for their own good.

I'm not trying to share my view with anyone. I'll leave that to the sky fairy types.
 
So 90+% of the planet's population will all abandon their faith when they reach the of intellectual and moral heights exhibited by the distinguished atheist contributors on this thread?
Forgive me if I find that unlikely.

All the evidence suggests so. The more stupid people are the more they believe in such mumbo jumbo.
