So I thought we Americans could use a thread to vent and spread the pain we endure due to the religious culture. You atheists in less religious countries have no idea some of the ridiculous shit we have to put up with, and I thought this would be a good way for us to vent while giving you some laughs.
The thought came to me when I saw a sticker on a car yesterday. For this of you non-Americans I have to give you a bit of background information for you to understand the stupidity of this. People here place stickers their cars with crudely drawn versions of Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes performing lewd acts that give commentary on the owner's beliefs. The most common ones are Calvin pissing on something they don't like, and most often it is a symbol representing a particular motor vehicle manufacturer they dislike. They are extremely classless and tacky, and if you see one, you can be guaranteed a stupid redneck owns that car.
I just saw one, however, that was Calvin bowing in front of a cross. Why anyone would want to display their religion with something that is synonymous with tastelessness and stupidity is beyond me, and they would have been better off with a sign that said, 'crass, ignorant waste of good oxygen driving this vehicle.'
Anyways, that is my American rant for the day, and everyone feel free to add stupid shit that only comes with 50 stars and 13 stripes.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
