Doing the Lord’s work

January 22, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

Tee hee. These atheists are going to get all kinds of busy people thinking about God where they would not have before. It’s that niggly little word “probably” that will leave just enough room to ponder the reality of God rather than the opposite.

“God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.” –Francis Bacon

Brigitte wonders: I’m not religious, yet I worry. I know plenty of religious people who don’t (some who do, too). Most of the time I enjoy my life. So do many religious people I know (some who don’t, too). I guess my question is: What the heck are you trying to say, and why can’t you say it better, you silly bunny?

    My thoughts exactly!
    P-r-o-b-a-b-l-y ? It means they are not really sure. And just in case there is God they leave a little room for that scenario. How funny.

    I think by “stop worrying” they mean that we shouldn’t worry about God judging our lives, and thus not limit ourselves from any of life’s enjoyments. The ads just vocalize what most atheists feel, and it’s not particularly strident or offensive. Indeed, I agree with Andrea though, that it might make people wonder whether it is wise to enjoy life without being more sure of the existence or non-existence of God.

    Personally, I find the knowledge of God makes me more content with life in general, especially when things aren’t going so well for me. So while I worry sometimes, I agree with Brigitte that Fear of God vs Enjoyment of Life is a false dichotomy.
