"No God" Advertisements

"There's probably no God, so stop worrying and enjoy your life"


The above quote is going to be used as an advertisement on buses in the streets of London. See here for details.

Several thoughts in response:
1. Reminds me of an older bully who tells his little brother "Daddy's never going to find out, go ahead". Sounds appealing and perhaps convincing at the time to the naive, but that changes when rather quickly when one is later called to account.
2. Surprised by the word "probably" in the phrase "There's probably no God..." Is this all the surety they can give? Does that word not conjure up and draw attention to the thought that "there could be", and not only this but the ones making the statement cannot say and cannot even be sure!
3. The advise is laughable.

There's probably no God, so stop worrying:
- Your life is meaningless, so there's nothing to worry about
- The origin of man's reason is non-rational and impersonal, so stop worrying because your thoughts and worrying mean nothing anyway.
- If you can't hold the oppressor, abuser, lier, and cheater to account in this world, they're just going to get away with it and there's nothing you can do so stop worrying.
- Even though your years will soon be over and even your memory will be gone, it won't matter anyway so stop worrying.
- Ethics are meaningless, so stop worrying, every man is simply to do what's right in his own eyes.

There's probably no God, so start enjoying your life:
- Give yourself fully to all your lusts and see if it brings joy
- Live simply for happiness, success and satisfaction and see what it brings
- Live free of the law of righteousness and see if you can avoid shame


Unfit counselors give bad advice...and some are not even ashamed to advertise it!

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

A Novel Reinterpretation of Origins: Literal Programmatic Intervention

Literal Programmatic Intervention A Systems Approach to Biblical Creation "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made."  - John 1:1,3 A Note on Purpose and Approach The Challenge We Face In our modern era, believers committed to biblical authority often find themselves caught between two unsatisfying extremes: either dismissing scientific discoveries as irrelevant to faith, or compromising clear biblical teachings to accommodate prevailing scientific consensus. Neither path honors both God's revelation in Scripture and His revelation through the natural world. What This Framework Attempts The Literal Programmatic Intervention (LPI) framework represents an honest attempt to address this tension. It seeks to: Take Scripture seriously  as historical narrative while engaging substantively with scientific observations Challenge modern objections  to bib...
