WHEN an appeal was recently relaunched for funds to put an atheist message on London buses, Christian Voice’s cretinous Stephen “Birdshit” Green commented:
Apparently, an atheist blogger named Jon Worth came up with the idea, but his fellow humanists, not known for their generosity, wouldn’t stump up the cash. Now Richard Dawkins, whose anti-Christian zeal knows little bounds, is to finance the doomed venture.
Some doomed venture! Less than a month after Green’s latest premature articulation, Worth’s campaign has raised a staggering £107,433.16 – and that’s not counting Richard Dawkins’ donation and Gift Aid.
So, as of today, there is more than £113,000 in the coffers, enough to take the message “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life” across the entire country!
If Green is truly in search of a genuine “doomed venture”, he need look no further than the petition he launched to have his court costs of £90,000 waived, following his disastrous attempt to bring a private prosecution against the BBC for screening Jerry Springer, the Opera.
The petition went tits up at the outset. Hundreds saw it as a marvellous opportunity to tell the creature precisely what they thought of him.
The messianic Green
Here are some samples:
He has written to both Mark Thompson [of the BBC and Jonathan Thoday [of JSTO] inviting them to waive their costs in the interests of goodwill and justice. Would these be the same principles of goodwill and justice which persuaded the odious little shit to embark on his crackpot legal crusade in the first place?
And:
Stephen, if I wasn’t an atheist I would pray for you to rot in hell, you bile-filled neanderthal scumbag. But I’ll settle for you being regularly arse raped in the showers when you go to prison for non-payment of the court costs.
And:
I was going to write something witty and incisive about Stephen Green and his hate-filled delusional followers but decided it isn’t worth the bother really. So instead I’m just going to laugh at him and the predicament he has put himself in. Ha ha ha ha ha ….. You twat!
And:
Not even in my blondest of moments – and I get a lot of these at my age – would I EVER have appointed you my representative on Earth, Stephen Green. That’s because you, my son, are a conniving, malicious, vindictive, manipulative, lying, blackmailing arsehole with an aggravated god complex – and a rather suspicious and unhealthy obsession with bum sex. You really ought to stay away from gay pride marches – you’ve been to more homo parades than my colleague Mohammed has had hot virgins! I warned you about your behaviour a while back when I sent a gull to deposit a dollop of shit on you – but did you take the message on board? Did you, fuck! Now just pay up, shut up, and find yourself a new hobby. The one you have now is fucking up my image, big time, and I am not happy. As you know, an unhappy god is a wrathful god. Next time, twerp, I’ll pelt you with a good deal more than guano and a big legal bill – Jehovah.
There are hundreds more like this – certainly enough to inform Green that his brand of bigotry will simply not be tolerated by sensible Brits.
Where the petition DID succeed was in producing one of the funniest reads on the internet, and I even used it to suggest to Green that he should publish a book containing the choicest comments which he could then sell to fund his court costs.
So far, he has not acted on the suggestion.
By the way, a counter-petition, demanding that the court cost NOT be waived, attracted 1,482 genuine signatures.
What a loser!

Do you think Birdshits imaginary friend is trying to tell him something
October 31st, 2008 at 9:38 am
Yeah, but don’t you think it’s GREAT about the bus campaign?
October 31st, 2008 at 11:06 am
As amusing as this is, I hope a huge chunk of the money goes to charity.
You don’t need £113.000 for bus posters!

Whilst we’re on the subject of backfires, I found this today:

The Qatar ambassador to the UN is pressing for people to be charged with deformation of religion – amongst the people he’s lined up for this ludicrousness….The Pope !!! I’ve been laughing for hours as a result !!

P.S. Has Birdshit paid his costs, does anyone know ??

I agree with with Stuart. Donating to a charity would also demonstrate to religious bigots that athiests and secular people donate their money to worthy causes instead of putting them into the already bloated church coffers.

Subscribers are paying for advertisments, to divert the oney for ANY other purpose would be a betrayal. Going UK wide is going to be expensive, especially if trains and hoardings are included. Don’t forget the follow-up ads too.

Perhaps I misphrased; I’m quite aware of the expense involved in covering public transport across the country, but part of me just can’t help but think it is so much money for what is – lets be brutally honest – little more than a cheeky ‘back atcha’ to godbotherers.
Still, point taken about the original intention of donors.

Actually, if you could get that message to every six year old in the country, many charities could fold within a decade anyway.

Dear Stuart W, You are surely joking when you say that the bus ads are “little more than a cheeky ‘back atcha’ to godbotherers”. When one compares the vast amount of daily indoctrination in religion that is available everywhere with the virtual total lack of presentation of atheist views, the money is well spent on bus acs. In fact, there should be much more publicity for the atheist view-point. Why else do atheists have ongoing attempts to persuade the BBC to allow more broadcasting thereof than they do and/or to curtail the regular daily messages from religionists which they make available to the entire nation?
November 1st, 2008 at 7:22 pm
It is unclear whether you talk about the UK or the whole world having a ‘vast amount of daily indoctrination in religion’
If you mean’t the former, I still stick by my sentiments (see below), if the latter, I quite agree there should be much more rational atheist input, especially in Africa.
Come on Zig, in the UK those who would indoctrinate everybody into their religion are losing… badly! Books like ‘The God Delusion’ and ‘God Is Not Great’ sell like hot cakes rather than being thrown on a bonfire, homosexual couples can marry and are portrayed sympathetically in TV storylines every year, the ‘blasphemy’ law has gone bye-bye, young Muslims may drink alcohol and dress how they like, fringe-group fundies are largely considered comedy figures and can the average teenager list the Ten Commandments or give the Archbishop of Canterberry’s name?
Having said that, the supposedly ‘cancelled’ Christmas does last about three months
