Truth in advertising

The American Scene's ironic suggestions, and my counterproposals:

Current slogan on the buses: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” (A paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 15:32, by the way.)

Suggestions for future adverts, in the name of Truth in Advertising:

“There’s probably no God. So stop praying for comfort and accept that the disease you suffer from will ensure that you die in pointless agony.”

Me: There's probably no God. So stop praying and be your own comfort and that of others. If you get diseased it's because we humans are imperfect beings like all animals, and not because of anything a God did or didn't do.

“There’s probably no God. So forget about being reunited with loved ones when you die.”

Me: There's probably no God. So don't worry about what happens when you die unless you're going to help provide for those you'll leave behind.

“There’s probably no God. So realize that the people who cheated and abused you will never suffer retribution.”

Me: There's probably no God. Do not be concerned with retribution. Protect yourself.

“There’s probably no God. So there’s no one there to forgive you for your sins.”

Me: There's probably no God. You, communities, and history are the only judges of sin.

“There’s probably no God. So your empty, joyless life of solitude and frustration is all you get. Deal.”

Me: There's probably no God. This life is all you have, enjoy it or end it.
