...and the bus wars continue to continue...

Not everyone sees the bus ads as a threat.

The United Church of Canada launched its own tongue-in-cheek campaign which includes the message: "There's probably a God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

But others say it's no laughing matter.

The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada is ready to buy its own bus ads promoting an all-faith approach to religion.

"We know that we live in a free society where people have the right to express themselves, but this is a serious debate - this is not a joke and people have strong feelings," said Imam Syed Sohawardy.

1. My bus ad would say
There is nothing but God. Now stop worrying and enjoy--that's the point of life!

3. I would like to see...
"Om Supreme Truth hopes you enjoy your ride." (perhaps too soon)

"Coyote hopes you took the wrong bus."

"This bus is not The Way."

"Masturbation on this bus is prohibited by law and is punishable by a $100 dollar fine."

this is not a joke

Totally, one-liners on buses are a very serious matter.

8. My bus would say...
The universe does not care if you enjoy yourself or not.

Proof: you've just missed the bus.
