Atheist Bumper Sticker Ticks Off Xtian in Poland
This has to be the best bang-for-the-buck that I have ever recieved from of a freethought bumper sticker. Normally, the bumper stickers on the rear of the utility trailer used in our business will only piss off the religious nut-jobs who are in the immediate vicinity. But I have just had the pleasure of annoying a religious whacko in
If any of you have questioned the need for advertising our position, this should be an example of the effect that it can have. I have just effected someone who is an Ocean away with the simple few words and ideas conveyed on these tiny billboards.
I will have to write more on the effect that out-of-the-closet atheists have on the narrow-minded religious types, but in the mean time you might want to read the reaction from Poland here. Scroll down to the replies.
The most frightening part of this guys reply is that he is a teacher! Yikes. Oh well, I am off to a meeting of the FFRF!

"Let someone else do the thinking and you get the pretty result."
Hehehe. A theist accusing an atheist of not thinking for himself - that's funny.
Excellent!
And now I must take my daily moment of science if you please.
Alan,
I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I've only occassionally enjoyed it. But those times when I *do* enjoy reading what you have to say - they keep me coming back.
Here's my 2 cents:
Since your blog is titled "Meet an Atheist" I keep thinking I'll learn something about being an atheist. I've grown up in the church all my life and find opinions different than the ones I've always known, to be profoundly interesting. There have been times when you've shared some really interesting things, but that seems to me the minority of time. Honestly, most of the time, it seems like the posts are just, well, a bit bitter and critical with not too much meat. I guess that's fine, but I really want to "Meet and Athiest."
I figure that when someone gains knowledge they can do one of two things with it. They can criticize or change. If I read you right, I think this is one of the things you despise about Christians. So many of us read the Bible and learn about what we should or shouldn't do and then we just go off on others and criticize them instead of changing ourselves or positively trying to change the world around us (after changing ourselves).
So, I guess I'm challenging you to do something with the knowledge and reason you've gained that is truly useful.
If you really want to expose others to reason, criticizing Christians in your blog without any basis of your knowledge is going to turn off the very audience you appear to seek and then you just end up "preaching to the choir."
Obviously, this is your blog. You're free to do whatever you want with it but I'd like to "Meet and Atheist" if this isn't the right place, then please direct me elsewhere.
Alan, thanks for taking the time to read this and understanding that I am in no way trying to deride you. I've enjoyed some of the lively and extremely levelheaded discussions that have been had on this blog and I'd love to see more of them.
