[On a story about an atheist bus campaign in London which would have 30 buses have the slogan 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.' ]
The fact that atheists believe "there’s probably no God" means that they also believe there's probably a God.

The 'probably' is only there because, as you cretins keep insisting on pointing out as if it means something, it's pretty much impossible to definitively PROVE the non-existence of anything.
Of course, you have spectacularly failed to prove your viewpoint, but that doesn't stop you going on about how God DEFINTELY exists and everyone but you is DEFINITELY going to Hell because God DEFINITELY thinks exactly the way you do.

LOL. There probably is and isn't god, both at the same time, because god is, like, um, magic and stuff and he can do whatever he wants. He's so strong he can pick up; a Buick. He can throw a boat - over a hedge.
Err, no. It just means they can't disprove the possibility. It doesn't mean that they believe in any way.
You fundies really don't have a handle on this atheism thing.
That's agnostic leaning atheist, but not entirely atheist.
I actually think its pretty cool that London has those buses around. If they tried that in the states, everyone would have a shit fest.

Ugh. Reading comprehension, LEARN IT.
Meh, they shouldn't have put "probably" in there - sounds like somebody wussed out at the last minute. If you're a sane, rational person, you assume total negativity in the absence of positive proof. You say "there's no god", as a conveniently shorter version of "I'm as sure as it's possible to be sure about any negative assertion at all in the absence of any evidence, that there's no god."
If I buy a lottery ticket, I probably won't win. The fact that I might win, my chance of catching lightning in a jar doesn't mean I "probaly will" win, and should go out and buy a McMansion with winnings I don't have yet but "probably will" have after the drawing.
The original slogan read, "There is no God". Unfortunately, Britain's advertising laws forced them to add the "probably" in there, to avoid offending anyone. Plus, being an atheist doesn't mean that you're absolutely, 100%, no shadow of a doubt certain that there isn't a God, it just means that you don't believe in one and act on the assumption that he doesn't exist.
And it's not like every atheist in the world is involved in that campaign... so it's kind of dumb to judge all of us based on something that only a few people are doing.
Finally, "probably won't" is the polar opposite of "probably will", so shut the fuck up.
The word probably was used as we have certain standards for our advertising over here in the UK and one of those is not to offend religious people. (They can be quite unbalance and act quite irrationally at times)
The word probably was added so that "There's no god" didn't offend you all.
Fundies are so terrified that people exist who are free of their fantasies that they insist, in the face of any evidence, that atheists really, secretly, do share their fantasies.
As a mass delusion, it's simply pathetic. But since it inspires them to violence, it's dangerous.
There's a 70% chance that there is no God.
70 + 70 = 100.
For god's sake! Stop spelling god with a capital G! It's not a name :( (The Christian god's name is JHWH, if you didn't know.. And one of the Greek gods' name was Zeus, get what I'm saying?)
Anyways, fundies really do say the darnest things :)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
