		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that the Humanists and others have apparently become fed up with the Christian advertising appearing on buses. In response to adverts for the Alpha Course etc they have come up with the idea of a God-free advert to counter religious advertising. They have adopted the slogan "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your Life."

		<description><![CDATA[Mark 16:1-6 (NIV)

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"  But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.  "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.]]></description>
