I had to kudos, quote you, and give you a rep for that…because it is all too true.

Hooyah.

Yeah, sometimes people give us too much credit, lol. We did do our part but it's not like it wasn't fun.

Definitely. I mean, the job sucks sometimes, but there are a hell of a lot of perks that come with this job.

I totally agree about freedom of speech but what I was trying to get at is if I went into public and tried to advertise Atheism people would freak out, yet people don't care if you're advertising Christianity.

With the bumper stickers, if I see someone with a religious thing ( jesus fish, cross, religious quote) I just laugh at how ridiculous it is, and keep on with whatever I was doing. But, if I put a sticker on my truck that says "God isn't real" I guarantee people would flip me off, yell at me, cut me off and maybe follow me and do something stupid like that.

Btw, Minimalist's signature would be a great bumper sticker if I really wanted to piss someone off.

No to the first two, or to the public prayers at sporting events.  Yes, to people doing door to door, though that has more to do with the direct interruption of my time than by what is being offered.  Religion annoys me very little, and my only concerns are ever about what effect it can have on people and societies, mostly via attempts at legislating behavior or education.  Aside from that, the behaviors that annoy me would do so even if they were about something else.  For example, my sister posts a lot of religious stuff on her Facebook, and I either ignore or block most of it.  But I do the same for conspiracy theory stuff (posted by a friend) or political stuff (posted by another friend).

The Jesus bumper stickers aren't that far from celebrity branded product endorsements and/or sponsorships.


While we haven't seen Jesus Christ brand industrial strength heavy days super extra absorbent floral bouquet deodorant tampon/maxi pads yet, it's just a matter of time.  Bumper stickers are the camels nose under the tent flap on the road to making that possible.

The Jesus can mix some dirt with his spittle, and buff that out tickety boo.

It's also annoying as fuck when churches call my house. I'm usually the only one home when they call so one time I talked back pretending like I'm Satan, tapping and rubbing paper on the microphone to make weird chirps and fuzz. Not long after that they switch to recordings and now it's just "Hello?" "Hello church goers!" *click*

I hate it when solar power salesmen call my house, so I hang up on them or just don't answer calls from people I don't know.  I also hate it when I turn on the the radio and someone is rapping about raping "bitches" or killing cops, so I go to another station.  And I hate it when I see someone wearing a satanist t-shirt.  That's life.  I hope it won't trouble you too much if you see me make the sign of the cross in a restaurant before I start eating.
