Faith is the belief in things not seen, not proven. Faith is by definition an illogical thing.

As for validity of "definetly-God" campaign - it is as valid as previous one. Science cannot prove that there is a God - but it also cannot disprove it.
And since God-idea was here before scientific approach, until proven otherwise it is not misleading to claim that there is God on advertising.
However - a lot of people who do believe in God were hurt. And if something was pointless ,but it hurt people feelings - then its point is to hurt someone.
Atheists on the other hand should not be hurt by "pro-God" campaign. Since they do NOT believe, they think that there is no God. And if nobody forces opposed opinions on them - then there is no reason to be offended.
There were religious crusades, and there were atheist-ones not so long ago.
By the way - to think that someone else faith,especially in this matter is childish - is arrogant and ignorant approach.
How do these christians know for sure since faith is just opinion based on speculation,conjecture,heresay,rumour and guesswork?

Once principle of freedom of choice is applied, nothing can prove or disprove existence of God.

I'm just sayin' ... You can prove that sort of negative ;-)
The act of bellringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people. ~Ezra Pound
If it hasn't been proven, you can't say something definitely exists. Period.
The strange thing is, if the atheist ad would have said "there is definitely not a God" you'd have seen the logical flaw in it, but since the Christian ad goes hand in hand with your faith, you claim it has 'validity'.
There were many ideas before scientific methods and approach, so what?
Would you care to point out examples of an "atheist crusades"?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

One, this is a Christian organization who purchased the ad space. Fine, whatever. There are alot of religions in the world who believe in some type of deity, God, Allah, whatever name you want to use.
My question to you on this matter is, since you obviously dont believe in God (which is your right, I wont attack anyone for their religious beliefs) would you be offended if say, the muslims ran an ad that stated, There is definately Allah, or if this ad was paid for by Hindus?
