Hmm, I hadn't realised that was the text of the Oz version. Is it discriminatory in that it associates a religious group (or groups) with unreason? And thus is potentially a little offensive? I'm asuming that's what they were thinking and that maybe somthing like 'God's Not Real' would have passed your censors...

see The Bible

God is satisfied with his works
Gen 1:31
God is dissatisfied with his works.
Gen 6:6

God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things
Prov 15:3/ Ps 139:7-10/ Job 34:22,21
God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all things
Gen 11:5/ Gen 18:20,21/ Gen 3:8

God is unchangeable
James 1:17/ Mal 3:6/ Ezek 24:14/ Num 23:19
God is changeable
Gen 6:6/ Jonah 3:10/ 1 Sam 2:30,31/ 2 Kings 20:1,4,5,6/ Ex 33:1,3,17,14

All scripture is inspired
2 Tim 3:16
Some scripture is not inspired
1 Cor 7:6/ 1 Cor 7:12/ 2 Cor 11:17

See, the bible... It's as undecided as a fleet of multifaith buses ever could be.

It looks as if there won´t be any "atheist buses" in Berlin. According to today´s newspaper the BVG (Berlin Transportation Company) declines, saying ads concerning worldviews are forbidden.

At the same time, you can see church ads ("Jesus loves you", etc.) in Berlin subways. The BVG speaker says those are "old and will be removed shortly". Yeah, right.

Also, recently, at subway stations, they let a christian initiative collect signatures concerning religious education at public schools. Berlin´s protestant bishop personally asked the BVG boss for permission.

So far, 26,500 € have been collected for the bus ad campaign, 30 % of the population aren´t members of religious groups.
