This is the first LJ debate I have bothered to read through in about three years and it was very interesting.
I had just fallen so easily into 'atheist bus campaign GOOD' camp that I and all my philsoc friends naturally occupy, that I had not given much thought to the rightness of it.
I still think the campaign is acceptable but I think Lizzie made some really good points against it, which have tempered my belief in its rightness.
It is worth noting that if you support the atheist bus campaign, you cannot then be angered by pro-religion campaigns. Because that would be double standards. Double standards BAD.
I've totally lost track of the argument, because I have no concentration for anything beyond 7 comments, but was reading this today and thought I'd chuck it in there for shits and giggles:
