   They are bumper stickers. Not that brilliant, I know, but they are all right up the alley with “If you can read this, You’re in range of my shotgun”.

   I’m not sure about the bestiality or the quotes that attribute divinity to stupid people with power- not sure where they pop up in the God realm. Seems like stupid people with power are more of the world’s problem then religion or God or even Christianity.

   Someone needs to write bumper stickers bashing on stupid people with power. Oh wait, every politician ever elected has one for them. Nevermind.

   I love shotguns.

   The reason stupid people with power are mentioned here is that those stupid people with power tend to reference God as their reason for their actions. You can’t logically question and mock God, right?

   Nope.

   Goldy Locks is a tad confused. That’s okay, we still love him.

   I’ll tell you guys what religion is about cause I’ve lived in many places, probably traveled to more countries than most people can even know of and I’ve seen many kinds of religions. Religion divides us, creates barriers and pushes human beings away from each other. It puts up walls and makes co-existing 10 times more difficult. Religion places people in exclusive circles and whoever is not in that circle is “not human”. If we actually found the real numbers of people who have died in human history because in the name of religion you will see that’s it’s a fucking joke. I hate religion and I firmly believe the word religion was composed of the words “rely on imagination”

   I agree with the Black Rooster. Religion has caused much of the problems that humanity has faced through the years and has been used as an impetus and an excuse for genocide, lynchings, rape, murder, theft (tithes are scams), other scams, and many more evil acts. Mankind would be significantly better off if we did not only have to face the challenges of the natural universe, but challenges of our making. Anyone else have thoughts?

   What about money? Most of the crimes committed in the name of religion are really about power, influence, and what it gains you- money. Capitalism is the same way. Lots of people suffer and live in substandard conditions so we can live opulently comparatively. Doesn’t mean we’re going to denounce capitalism.

   Almost all societal concepts have been used for harm or good. Look at how people still engage in ethnic cleansing today… Has nothing more to do with anything more then your genetic background. And half the time these days they can’t even tell if they’re Kikuyu or whatever. If we can use our ethnic history as an excuse to commit harm, then what’s not going to be used the same way?

8. Joel January 30, 2008 7:08 pm

   God, You are correct, most crimes committed in the name of religion are about power and influence and money. However, the people carrying them out use religion as their disguise. If we didn’t have religious fairy tales, how would a despot be able to tell his people “God is on our side, go blow yourself up!”????

9. God January 30, 2008 7:15 pm

   The abuse and profaning of the name of God does not necessarily prove him a fairy tale. Just that he is not as active as we would like.

10. Joel January 31, 2008 9:23 am

    I’m not too worried about an inactive god… especially one that there is zero evidence for.

11. BlackRooster January 31, 2008 12:15 pm

    “Not as active as we would like”….that’s like saying a company is rotting from inside out i.e (planet earth). People in this company are stealing, committing fraud and engaging in many kinds of criminal endeavors. The CEO of the company (God) who is supposed to take charge and make things better is partying with thai hookers in Bangkok and doing 10 grams of coke a day . He’s basically “inactive” and absent. Well it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s gonna happen to this company within a short period of time, I think Enron has shown us that.

    So when exactly does God plan on stepping in and taking charge? cause it’s been a while now and we would like to see him sometime soon before it’s too late.

12. Joel January 31, 2008 12:53 pm

    I wouldn’t mind hearing a little bit from God if he actually exists… isn’t it a little cheesy and stupid and superficial to never show any evidence and just expect people to believe in you? Maybe he just wants gullible people in heaven. Anyone who is logical, intelligent and strong-willed should burn forever in God’s opinion, apparently.

13. BlackRooster January 31, 2008 2:06 pm

    Very true Joel. Why won’t God just show him/herself to us. What’s so wrong with exposing yourself. If he does then everyone, I mean EVERYONE will believe in him. Do you understand that if God showed himself to us and told us that there is a heaven and hell, then people would stop killing, raping and doing all the filthy shit that humans do. The world would instantly be a much better place. So why isn’t God exactly doing this? why has he tortured his children for thousands of years?

    You know I actually told my dad the other week that I think if there is one person who I believe was God’s son was elvis Presley. If Elvis claimed he was the perfect man and he was God’s representative on Earth I would probably believe him. Think about, the guy was ridiculously beautiful. Women from all over the world worshiped his beauty and they still do. He had an incredible voice, could play the guitar extremely well and he was an awesome dancer. He had one hit record after another and he became rich as well. He was so loved by women all over the world and there are videos of women lying in front of his car so he can’t go anywhere. That my friends is someone who needs to be worshiped…Arnold as well!

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with exposing yourself, I do it all the time at the park when children are around.

    Want to know why the Christian version of God hasn’t shown himself to the general populace? HE DOESN’T EXIST! He’s no different than Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the rest of creature created by man’s fantastical imagination.

15. BlackRooster January 31, 2008 5:10 pm

    HAHAHAHAH….I’m thinking about getting a perv tool myself. I think they are amazing.

    The other day I was thinking what would happen if I put a leash on a 4 year old Thai girl and walked her outside. Would people get upset? would they attack me? Call the police perhaps?

    I could just say it’s my adopted daughter and I put her on a leash so she doesn’t run into the middle of the streets.

16. Joel January 31, 2008 5:27 pm

    Hahhaha… you’d probably get a few comments and a lot of funny looks, but in general people are cowardly and won’t do anything. However, I would know your true evil. Probably wouldn’t really do anything though, because I’d be walking 7 or 8 of them myself lol. We have the worst sense of humor in history i think.

    Holy &$%# some of those are funny. I wish I had the stones to put them on the back of my truck here in Central Texas. Clearly, we are still living in the dark ages of free thought.

19. Jeff October 26, 2008 4:16 am

    BTW…most of you folks who are posting on this thread need to lighten up, for crying out loud. reLAX and laugh a little.

20. Joel December 29, 2008 10:31 pm

    The atheist bumper stickers were pretty funny.

21. Flying Spaghetti Monster June 12, 2009 5:13 pm

    I definitely would put one of these on my car… but having too many is very tacky, so which one do I choose…

22. Sherry salzman June 16, 2009 11:33 am

    Cheeses is Lard i laughed til i cried fantastic

23. Eupraxsophy September 21, 2009 7:30 pm

    I kind of like the one that says; “Real men don’t have imaginary friends.”, or “I believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and honest Republicans.” But the one that would suprise most Christians would be the one that says; “If you want to know about Christian family values read Luke 14:26.”, in which Jesus talks about hating your family including yourself. I also thought of something funny for a tee shirt showing the caption Atheist’s Hell where a guy is chained to a pew in church and has to listen to all that B.S. for all eternity. I think I would rather burn instead. I also like “Impeach Bush, torture Cheney.”
    Here’s one more, “I followed Jesus until he stepped in something.”

24. Gerardo September 30, 2009 4:21 pm

    Lol these are some pretty good ones. A few I have heard are “The invisible and the Imaginary look very similar.” and “Love me or I’ll have you tortured forever!” – God

Like my cheesy pic? :)
