Stop defying God’s word, just get cancer like he wants

Okay, I’m almost ready to call Poe’s law on Stephen Green’s entire life.

Three weeks ago, he reports the “There’s probably no God” Atheist Bus Campaign to the Advertising Standards Authority, and tries to prevent them from being allowed to express this view.

From the National Secular Society today:

It is preposterous for the ASA to think they can outlaw Christian freedom of speech.

… says Stephen Green, in response to being instructed not to repeat a false claim made in advertisements placed by his own organisation. As well as apparently laying the blame for society’s ills on divorce, working mothers, and “the abolition of the death penalty” (feel the Christian love and charity), the ad makes factually untrue and medically groundless claims that a vaccine to stop teenage girls getting cervical cancer will actually make them infertile.

So, proclaiming the divinity of Jesus as fact, and using the side of a bus to plug a website which assures non-believers of their future spending “all eternity in torment in hell”, and making shit up to give false medical information, are all fine, but publicly hedging your bets about the non-existence of God should be illegal.

I’m too lazy for proper sarcasm or incisive commentary. But for fuck’s sake.
