Kiwi Atheists are far too nice.

For the benefit of overseas readers, and to bring some context to this article, this is one of the highly visible ‘Yeah Right’ billboards/signs, marketed by DB Breweries here in New Zealand:


This is the controversial one currently residing outside a Tauranga church:

This is mine:



Now as far as I’m aware there has never been a deliberate piece of vandalism in New Zealand by atheists targeting ‘you are going to burn in hell’ signs like this - or for that matter any religious signage.

Christian Churches such as ‘Bethlehem Community’ tend to forget, that Atheists by their very nature, don’t believe in their megalomaniacal and cruel god called Yahweh.

So local non-believers are hardly going to fall to their knees with fear, at the altar of this, or any church, when confronted with thinly veiled threats of Yahweh’s wrath.

Frankly most Kiwi atheists don’t give a fuck about church signs and ignore simply them.

What up-sets Kiwi atheists, myself included, is when ‘we’ unify as a group and want to place our own signs on public display, we face overwhelming objections to our right to free-speech – by the very group that trumpets their own supreme right to do so – even when it breaks copyright laws.

Christians see it as their right to say what-ever they like, hate minority groups via law exemptions etc but when they feel threatened they get cry-baby-like and gnash-teeth when presented with a counter arguments.

Christians in New Zealand then do what all religious groups do when threatened – they attack!

Christians even attack other Christian messages, as we saw occur in Auckland at Christmas, again over church signage.

Christians threatened those that would air the atheist signs – which just happen to be the local bus companies – forcing them to back down from their commitment to display the same signs that were run overseas.

So here we have Reverend Jim Wallace from Bethlehem Community Church now accusing DB Breweries of being “bullies” when they asked for the sign to be changed due to breech of copyright.

On the Radio Live interview this morning Reverend Wallace used the term “bully” no less than three times in two minutes and ironically drew-comparisions with the atheist bus campaign - which never got off the ground.

Well Reverend Wallace here’s a message for you.

Were the atheists of New Zealand to act in the same dogmatic, angry way the followers of your god behave – then your juvenile sign would have been ripped-down long ago.

You need to thank your vicious and cruel god, that thankfully Kiwi Atheists are more civilized and nicer people than his followers.

Bus Company Bows to Theist Threats – Secular New Zealand? Pigs Arse!

The Atheist Bus Campaign in New Zealand has literally ground-to a halt with N.Z Bus Limited backtracking on earlier approval to display the adverts – identical to those used overseas.

This change of mind was brought-about after N.Z Bus received threats to boycott its services and complaints from some of its staff who said they would refuse to drive any bus donning the signs.

The duplicitous N.Z Bus saw no problem running ads for the superstitious, whilst in the next breath refusing those of from the growing numbers of non-superstitious who also happen to occupy seats on its services.

Theists it appears require censorship to defend their position, which weakens generation by generation, rather than open debate on religious role in modern society and the existence of thousands of invisible entities dubbed gods – they claim without a shred of empirical evidence are true.

The weak-minded squawk whenever their own freedoms to practice their chosen superstition are threatened, but see no problem denying others the exact same freedoms they see as sacrosanct.

The moment anyone dares suggesting there is no Yahweh, Zeus, Maui, Shiva, Bacchus etc etc, watching over humanity, creating planets in less than a week, saving people from burning buildings etc they are reduced to attacking the medium – rather than it’s message.

Needless to say The Catholic Church, historic world leaders in repression, bigotry & censorship, has come-out to congratulate N.Z Bus’s actions.

The idea New Zealand is a secular country is a fallacy – a total sham.

New Zealanders should take a look at themselves and the orchestrated suppression of free-thought by groups who bask, fat and bloated, in their ‘tax free status.’


A sad day in our history.

This Atheist Goddess can ride-on my Red Bus any-day


When I first spotted Richard Dawkins with this delectable piece of female flesh promoting the Atheist Bus Campaign in the U.K, my initial impression was she was in-on the photo-shoot as a piece of eye-candy.

Boy was I was wrong and way out-of-the-loop on this ("Geography is my only defense, your honour.")

The lady in the photo, Dawkins is clinging to, in a fatherly fashion of course, is none other than Ariane Sherin – the creator of the bus campaign!

Yes, it was Ariane’s idea.

Here’s a link to her blog – including details on her new book ‘The Atheists Guide to Christmas’.

More importantly, here’s more photo’s of this Uber Atheist Poster Girl.

Make that centre-fold (if I had my lewd way)

PS: If there is a slight-hint these writings are nothing-more than the sexist ramblings of a some-what sad middle-aged man, you are completely correct in your summation.
