Focus sur le studio espagnol Hey qui a organisé une belle exposition de différents visuels et posters, inspirés essentiellement des Dieux et des animaux légendaires de la mythologie grecque. Des créations géométriques réussies à découvrir dans la suite de l’article grâce à des clichés pris par Roc Canals.
Ever wondered what God is doing right at this moment? Thanks to social media and the lovely infographics over at god-was-here.com, you can spy on His Omniscience and see exactly where he's helping out. The website aggregates tweets of people thanking God for various things in real-time analysis of where in the country God is, how many people God has surprised, and whether God is doing more than Jesus. A group of Chicago creatives created the site. Enjoy the beautiful design while you keep tabs on His Holiness. If you're a believer, take solace in the fact that the U.S. is clearly still full of God-fearing people! And if you're not, laugh at the fact that so many people attribute minute acts for which they are responsible to a fictional deity!

Once upon a time, I thought that I was an Atheist (the position that deities do not exist). But, I was confused: I was an Agnostic (there is no verifiable proof of a God). Now, I think that I’m simply a believer.
This all came flooding back today as I drove through the Loop on my way to lunch. I had just left a meeting outside the city, and was driving, trying to pay attention without much luck. It’s illegal to use cell phones while driving here, so there went half my entertainment. The other half, the radio, was playing alternative rock. Bored, I started people watching while caught in stop/go traffic. I watched as people scurried about as I patiently cut off a honking cab that was edging in between my car and a bus. It was then that I noticed the banner on the side of the bus, and I stopped watching the cab and thought “Huh. I wonder what they are advertising.” The bus and my car were stuck together two blocks later and I exclaimed aloud;
“Those are the Indiana Atheist ads!”
The Indiana Atheists (IA) picked up the idea from atheists in Canada and London, where pro-Atheist bus campaigns have already run. In London, a month-long, 800 bus onslaught was derived by a London comedy writer that saw Christian ads being displayed on public transportation. Ariane Sherine, self-proclaimed atheist, came up with the slogan, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” The story was picked up by Time as one of the top religion stories of the year.
Unfortunately, the Indiana Atheists were late hitting Chicago
The pious have been buying ad space from the city’s decaying, cash-strapped public transportation system for a while. One recent religious ad read, “ISLAM. Got questions? Get answers. FREE Quran & Literature,” followed by a toll-free telephone number.
Chicago was not the first target sought by the IA; Bloomington, IN, turned the advertising down. The
second target was South Bend. Pro-religion bus ads had already run in South Bend, so the city had little choice when it came to ad acceptance.
Why do the atheists advertise? There is no message, no real group solidarity, and their self-stated goal is that they are not out winning converts. Are they branding?
According to Roy Speckhardt, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association;
“…you don’t see [atheists] having a caucus in Congress or anywhere else. It’s a group that’s been in the closet. People are afraid to ‘come out’ to their families and say they don’t believe in God.” The ads are designed to show lonely atheists that they do not walk alone — and they can go on disbelieving.
Although I bleed CMYK, it seems to me that donations could be spent in a much more effective manner to tell lonely atheists that they are not alone. People that are “good without God,” could start up a shelter to feed the homeless, help the poor pay bills, or buy groceries for a hundred families. The message would actually be stronger (doing good without God) due to their actions. Add that to the fact that news outlets are searching for “feel good” stories, the IA would; help a needy family; send their message, and; generate positive public relations. A Win-Win-Win.
My one question, “How did they determine that cadres of closeted atheists were searching for solace? Did I miss ‘60 Minutes,’ or something?”

I’ve come to the conclusion that although I think I am radical, the truth is that I must be pretty conservative. It is most likely a product of aging, but that’s only a small percentage of why I think I am a conservative. (I did like George Bush for a while…but it was only months) I don’t take huge risks. Plus, I think that Twittering in church is ridiculous. But, Time reported that churches are indeed embracing Twitter:
Voelz and David McDonald, the other senior pastor at Westwinds Community Church in Jackson, Mich., spent two weeks educating their congregation about Twitter, the microblogging site that challenges users to communicate in 140 characters or less. They held training sessions where congregants brought in their laptops, iPhones and Blackberrys. They upped the bandwidth in the auditorium. (Finding God on YouTube)
It’s not that I believe that Twitter is in any way malicious or wrong, it’s just that, like cell phones while driving, it takes your eye off the ball. People attend church for a reason; to make them feel better, to be closer to God, be a part of a community, or hear something that will aid them during life’s stresses. How can anything of value be heard if members are too busy playing with cell phones? Might as well have them bring in iPods and watch a movie a baseball game.
I am a huge fan of Twitter, Social Media, and new technology. However, I would not DARE to send text messages or answer my cell phone at a staff meeting, during a training presentation, or in front of the CEO. What is not acceptable at the office is okay at church? Hmm.
