Christian refuses to drive atheist bus

A Christian bus driver has refused to use a vehicle with the atheist slogan: "There's probably no God".

Ron Heather, from Southampton, responded with "shock horror" at the message and walked out of his shift in protest.

Buses across Britain started displaying atheist messages in an advertising campaign launched earlier this month, reports the BBC.

Mr Heather said: "I was just about to board and there it was staring me in the face, my first reaction was shock horror.

"I felt that I could not drive that bus, I told my managers and they said they haven't got another one and I thought I better go home, so I did.

"I think it was the starkness of this advert which implied there was no God."

He has since agreed to go back to work with the promise he would only have to drive the buses if there were no others available.

First Bus said in a statement: "As a company we understand Mr Heather's views regarding the atheist bus advert and we are doing what we can to accommodate his request not to drive the buses concerned."

The advertising campaign is backed by the British Humanist Association and prominent atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins.

Christians are so self-righteous. I gurentee if an atheist refused to drive a christian bus it would be an international incedent and the christians would get all offended.

Thanks for proving my point. You basically just said "I could insult athiests but I won't because I'm better than that". Self-righteous if I've ever seen it.

I'd stay quiet about my beliefs to avoid a huge fight but I would refuse to drive that bus because it is against what I believe. An atheist can refuse to drive a bus with "There is a God" written on it if they want, he has a choice, just like the people who do believe have a choice they have one too. As long as no one is forcing the other to do something they're against then there shouldn't be a huge fight about it.
