Atheist Bumper Stickers

[Mr. Scott]

I just saw one a few minutes ago that made me laugh:

"God was my copilot, but we crashed in the Ozarks and I had to eat him."

I searched JREF forum just now and found only a little about bumper sticker, esp. one that started with "Bumper Stickers that made me cringe" the decayed into the usual "God exists," "no, he doesn't" nonsense.

This thread is for reporting atheist bumper stickers, medallions, T-shirts, etc. that we've seen or can think of. Debates regarding the existence of supernatural deities will be reported as off-topic.

Not really atheist more acreationst (or aidist)

I used to have a t-shirt "Jesus is my bitch"

and I made a "Jesus Saves me from having to say I'm sorry" T for a total fanboy friend that used to lecture me on morality (in the pub)

ETA- might have to make a "1 PwN3d Je5us" or "Jesus Saves, But I am the sysop"

[Btodd]

Someone posted this on JREF....it would be a great bumper sticker:

"Blasphemy is a victimless crime":D

[Just thinking]

Personally, I wouldn't put one on my car even if it was a great one. Why, because I don't like having believers throw their crap in my face, even though they have the right to put whatever on their cars --- within the LAW. (I"m a actually a follower of the do unto others bit --- unlike some others.)

[Bikewer]

On the other side of the coin....Many times I've seen cars festooned with "Jesus" and "Pro-Life" stickers while the vehicle is being driven in a manner that threatens all in the vicinity....

[Wildy]

I don't know if it really counts but I have seen a picture of something bumper stickery that said "I went to the Creation Museum and all I got was stupider"

Me neither but for a different reason. Don't need some jack off keying my car.

[kittynh]

yeah, you know they sell little LEGS you can put on the Jesus fish.

I'm NOT an atheist, but for a long time my sig was

"Atheists are Good for Nothing".

I even had a pin made up to wear at TAM.

Sadly, many atheists did NOT get that it was my way of showing support. It grew out of a thread where I talked about defending my atheists friends (and family members that are atheists) from the fundie talk about "how can you be GOOD if you don't believe in heaven or a punishing God?"

I always say "well atheists are good for NOTHING! What are YOU good for?"

but a lot of atheists felt it was an INSULT so I had to drop it.

I don't have one, and haven't seen one, but I thought it might be cool to go Christmas shopping at the mall with a "What would Jesus buy?" T-shirt, to annoy those "war on Christmas" folks who vowed they'd boycott stores that (a) weren't playing Christmas music, (b) had cashiers who wished them "happy holidays", or (c) whatever else got their hackles up. Maybe next year...

kittenh - I got it too, thought it was funny, will probably steal it at some point.

This sticker?

It's available from Carryabigsticker.com (http://www.carryabigsticker.com/index_relig.htm). They have several other stickers that might be of interest to JREF folks.

The magnetic stickers allow you to change the message on your bumper easily. Or loan them out to a like minded friend.

[Mr. Scott]

On the other side of the coin....Many times I've seen cars festooned with "Jesus" and "Pro-Life" stickers while the vehicle is being driven in a manner that threatens all in the vicinity....

Those are good ones: sickers that seem to contradict the the driver. A car cut me off and gridlocked me when I was trying to merge into traffic, the driver looked at me with an "FU" face but had a sticker on the side that said "Nasty people suck."

I've got no bumper sticker on my own car because I generally have nothing to say to the person driving behind me, nor do I want them to know anything about me. I do enjoy reading a good knee slapper on another car. So, let's not get on a tangent of whether or not we would put a sticker on our car. Randi mentioned he has the salamander comeback to the fish medallion on his car.

I think I once saw one that said "Bumper Stickers Suck."

I really love "Atheists are good for nothing" except it is too easy to take at face value, the opposite of its intended meaning. The subtext is priceless.

The sticker I saw really said Ozarks, not mountains. Perhaps is was skirting copyright law, or it might have been a sticker you'd buy at a gift shop in the Ozarks?

I live in the biblebelt and if I put a sticker like this on my car sooner or later my vehicle would get keyed, tires slashed, brick thru the windshield etc. Maybe I'm a coward but no stickers for me.

That's a good one. :D

I once told one of my more fundy flight students, who was having a rough day with spins and stalls, that God may be his co pilot, but I was his instructor, and neither he nor I had God's sort of parachute, and that we needed to get the controls neutralized and the rudders under better control, and in a more timely fashion, or we'd be testing our parachutes. :(

It might have been a "gift" from the last driver he gridlocked. Many's the time I wished I could take the time to explain to drivers who insisted on blocking the intersection instead of letting me turn left ahead of them that they weren't really making their own trip any faster by seriously slowing mine. I suppose a "Mean people suck" bumper sticker affixed without ceremony in such cases wouldn't have communicated QUITE the whole message, but it would have covered the emotional component.

The science rocket fish (http://www.sciwear.com/pd_science.cfm) is a good atheist symbol that isn't offensive.

I recall some atheists claiming the Darwin fish wasn't trying to mock the Jesus fish whatsoever. At that point, I realized some athiests were lying cowards.

[Cactus Wren]

My housemate is a freethinker, and usually has a Yorkshire terrier in her passenger seat. I got her a sticker that said "DOG is my co-pilot".

I have a rotating collection (on magnets), right now featuring "MILITANT AGNOSTIC: I don't know and neither do you".

The thing that took courage was driving up to Denver through Colorado Springs, headquarters of Focus On The Family, proudly displaying a sticker that read "FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY".

[Tanstaafl]

I kinda like the one I saw years ago that said:

Well I have to agree with Beerina that the Darwin fish is a deliberate spoof of the jesus fish. We don't have to be dishonest about mocking the jesus fish, it deserves nothing more than mockery.

I have to say to Beerina though, that if prior to hearing the denial, you though that not believing in god somehow magically makes you unsuspectible to human flaws, you were quite naive.

Some atheists are lying cowards, simple because some people are lying cowards, regardless of their chosen worldview.

I'm an atheist, and I've been a lying coward in situations where I felt uncomfortable.

[arthwollipot]

Promoting science doesn't necessarily imply you are "mocking" god believers.

Are they mocking me with their Jesus fish? No, they are promoting their beliefs. What's the dif?I think the point is that one can promote science without distorting someone else's symbolism. The Darwinfish was created as a parody of the Jesusfish, and is therefore clearly a mock. Not that I'm against Darwinfish... (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=100776)

Must be one of them days for me.

Ummm....I'm one of them who's missing the point on your bumper sticker.

The way it's written, it comes across to me like the driver (you, in this case)
is someone who belives in their religion, and admits they'd rather be ignorant
than wrong, and they'd happily tell you that too. So, in my eyes, even though
I'm an atheist, I'd think you were a (probably) very religious person.

That's how I would take it if just quickly reading it and not giving it much thought after that.

I have twice had Darwin Fish "stickers" (actually metallic raised plastic cutouts) on my truck.

Both times they've been yanked off in grocery store parking lots.

I also had a smaller version of the Darwin Fish as a magnet on my refrigerator door. When I came back after a trip during which a professional pet sitter had taken care of my dogs, it was gone...

[Mister Agenda]

A few arrests for vandalism would go a long way toward preventing people from stealing our fish! Maybe you'll get lucky one day and catch them in the act when you have a camera handy.

I have the t-shirt that says "God was my co-pilot, until we crashed into the mountains and I had to eat him". I'm careful where I wear it, but I do wear it occasionally. My 18 yr old daughter just picked up a shirt at Wet Seal that says "Jesus is the new black". Could be taken several ways...

Some of my favorite bumper stickers are at Betty Bowers' web site (http://bettybowers.com/).

Including:

"I gave my love to Jesus
and now He never calls."

"Mommy, tell the the part again where Jesus says I am a disgusting sinner who deserves to be tortured in Hell!"

"Here's The Deal
you don't tell me about your personal savior, I don't tell you about my personal yeast infection"

"Unsaved Trash"

"That's enough about Jesus already"

"My Catholic priest is dating your son"

I'd like to design a bumper sticker that says:

"Maybe God wants you to think for yourself?"

[Silentknight]

POSSIBLE STICKERS?

Atheists are beyond belief

or...

Atheism is beyond belief

[tofu]

I just don't understand why anyone would want to be a dick to random anonymous strangers that they will never even meet. I mean, I totally understand a proclamation of belief, a sticker like, "I believe X" or a symbol of that or whatever. I sticker that says, "you're wrong" is a little more confrontational, and kind of useless, but still, whatever.

What I don't get is why you would want to call someone stupid. Does that make you feel good, to know that you are putting people that you will never meet in their place? If so, I would suggest that those are incredibly antisocial thoughts and feelings, and you might want to talk to a professional. It's also just a little bit juvenile, so I would ask you to grow up.

What I'm saying here applies to everyone. A couple of quick examples of the three classes:

Class I - proclaim your belief. Examples:
1. Jesus fish
2. "I'm a vegetarian"
3. "Atheists are beyond belief"

Class II - confrontational. Examples:
1. "The big bang. God spoke and *bang* it happened" (these ones always make me groan)
2. "Eating meat is wrong"
3. "You're an atheist too; I just believe in one less god than you do"

Class III - being a total dick. Examples:
1. "YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!"
2. "MEAT IS MURDER!!"
3. "I EVOLVED, YOU DIDN'T!"

As an atheist, I'm embarrassed that there are so many antisocial dicks giving me a bad name. I wish that you would grow up and get over yourselves. If some xian puts a little fish on his car, he's not hurting you, he's not preaching at you. If you make a joke out of that fish you are intentionally insulting him - going way the hell out of your way to insult him. Why? Because you're a child inside. Because you get a sociopathic thrill out of insulting someone that you don't know and will never meet.

It embarrasses me and I honestly with you would just go kill yourself.

The worse bumper sticker I ever saw belonged to a christian. It said something like, "Allah is a false god." Ironic, isn't it? But I think the same thing about that guy. He's a dick. He goes out of his way to insult muslims that he'll never even meet. Some muslim sees that and just feels angry the whole rest of his day. And why? No benefit is incurred on the person who put that sticker on his car. He just gets his rocks off on being a dick.

A lot of atheists are like that. You're exactly like the christians. You're dicks.

That's how I would take it if just quickly reading it and not giving it much thought after that.

Right next to my bumper sticker "I'd rather be ignorant than wrong." is another bumper sticker I had made that reads, "Science is the poetry of reality."

What the first bumper sticker is saying is this: You (the religious person) think you know the answer to everything (e.g. "God did it"), while I, a person of rational thought and reason, am perfectly comfortable saying "I don't know."

In other words, I'd rather be ignorant ("not knowing the truth") than to believe stuff for which there is no evidence.

What's truly sad is that you aren't bright enough to see the difference between these two statements:

"You people are outsiders, and you're smelly, inbred, retards. I'm so much smarter than you! Har har, I'm better than you! I rule and you drool! Ha ha! In your face you retards!!" (this is what many atheists do - and they are giant dicks)

Here's one to go next to the Darwin fish and other such stuff:

"Would Jesus really key my car?"

[articulett]

It may have been mentioned before... but in response to bumperstickers that said, "I'm a Catholic; in case of an accident call a priest"... there was one that said, "I'm a materialist; in case of an accident, call an ambulance".

More here: http://www.maxmatic.com/bumpstik/bumpstik_spiritu.htm

[articulett]

I think that you can say that science does this, just not all science.

Science sure explains a lot of things that were once attributed to gods-- and "beyond human understanding". Scientific knowledge is very satisfying... you don't have to believe it for it to work, and it's so much more useful and awe inspiring than the murky myths of faith.

Science makes it easier to be an atheist, that's for sure. The more you understand, the more superfluous god stories seem.

I got this bumpersticker at a TAM, but I'm too afraid to put it on my car. The "miracle of life" has more to do with sex then sacred mysteries... so I find this one particularly fantastic. I had the original Darwin fish back in the early 90's when it first came out. I'm glad to see they've been evolving as well.

[articulett]

Oh come on. It was funny. You don't always have to come out swinging.

I thought it was funny too-- the ones tsk tsking others for passing judgments, are often the biggest judgment passers of all.

We're all entitled to opinions, it's just that some people think you should take theirs much more seriously than they take anyone elses.

oh and Happy eczmas just realised the time.

Back from the thread split:

Sunday morning, at the beginning of an NPR show about how atheists coped with this jesus holiday, filmmaker Luis Buñuel was quoted as saying:

"Thank God I'm an Atheist"

[Angus McPresley]

Probably the only thing I've ever said that somebody thought was quotable -- "If atheism is a religion, then bald is a hair color" -- was put a bumper sticker. I can't find the link anymore. But the down side was that it was credited to the guy (Don Hirschberg) that now claims it as his own quote, because he got it printed in an Ann Landers column like eight years after I said it on the internet and it got put in a bunch of quote files. Shrug.

I'm more inclined to agree with the comedian Dmitri Martin's comment: "To me, all bumper stickers say the same thing: Let's never meet."

[Mr. Scott]

I saw a sticker yesterday that had a jesus fish with a big smile, and said "God is Good." The fish looked like a shark, and the shark version of the jesus fish appears to be a Muslim comeback, like the gefilte version is a comeback for Jews. THe driver looked more christian than muslim.

Here's an interesting article, "Bumper Sticker Theology," from an apparently "liberal Christian."

During times of persecution by the Roman government, the fish was used among Christians as a secret symbol. If two strangers met and were unsure whether the other was a Christian, one would draw an arc in the dirt. If the other were a Christian, she would complete the symbol with a reverse arc forming the outline of a fish. Today this fish outline symbol is commonly seen in the form of a bumper sticker, or casting, mounted on the back of cars. This has inspired believers in evolution to create a fish with the word “DARWIN” in the middle, and little legs underneath. This has been met with a Christian rejoinder: the Darwin fish with feet encountering a much larger open-mouthed Christian fish about to eat it. The caption reads: “Survival of the Fittest.” The Christians are suggesting their belief in the Bible will outlast the belief in evolution. Apparently tired of all this bickering, someone has come out with a bumper sticker that shows a Christian fish kissing a Darwin fish. Bumper stickers are a form of very slow, public conversation.

One more quote from the article regarding bumper stickers and liberty:

[I saw stickers] about civil liberties, including two that say “ Ignore Your Rights and They’ll Go Away.” One of the longest in our parking lot says “Liberty and Justice for All, Offer Not Available in Some Areas, Prices Subject to Change.” I take these warnings seriously. I once traveled through Spain when Franco was still alive—no bumper stickers. I spent a month in Greece when it was ruled by a military dictatorship—no bumper stickers. I spent a day in East Berlin before the wall came down—no bumper stickers.

God is Grate

Or:

When intellect, curiosity, imagination, dilligence, creativity and passion fail, when information, evidence and reason get uncomfortable, you can still turn to FAITH

(too long maybe?)

[Furi]

because I spend a little too much time trying to figure out the reasoning with CTs I just came to an astonoshing thought, Atheism is a Zionist conspiracy.

[Piscivore]

THe driver looked more christian than muslim.

How so?

[Mr. Scott]

How so?

Of course, many religious people dress in ways that exhibit their religion. It was a middle aged woman who wasn't dressed in any way like a muslim woman, but looked a bit like a nun not wearing her habit. I'm sure if I had a blatantly atheist bumper sticker drivers would look at me and confirm I looked like an atheist. LOL. Please, let's not get on a tangent about stereotyping, OK?
