The Fool hath said on his billboard ...


There's probably no God,... well at least on the bus - that guy just checked for us.

Can you think of a more worrysome and unenjoyable idea than the death of God? There's probably no thinking behind this ad campaign - how about that one? Let's make it a bit more philosophically consistent: There's probably no God so stop worry and go kill yourself. That would make sense. There's probably no God so stop worrying about conventional morality and rape that woman sitting next to you - your genes deserve it. That's the logical flow of things. But joy? Relief?

If there is no God, all things are permissible.
- a worried Fyodor Dostoevski
