\n“We’re going mobile…”
\nActually we have been for over a decade. This my cheepo drive to work car: stick, rollup windows, no A\/C, good mileage-does the job.
\nGets me to school and back AND spreads the Secular Message wherever I go.
\nFor years now people peer over their dashboard and I watch their lips move as they read the bumper stickers one by one. Some take photographs, many smile- some shake their heads-not happy.
\nSo from left to right:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe bright blue version of the b\/w one I got on the car.
\nThere is no such fricking thing as a revelation-other than:<\/p>\n

“Oh gee, I guess that’s right, all claims to revelation from some god or another are just bullshit” <\/em><\/p>\n

Now, that’s a real revelation to many who were indoctrinated into a religion as a child!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if one of the thousands of gods claimed by human cultures for millennia across the globe actually existed- how would anyone actually prove their prophet really got some divine message-instead of hearing their own voice in their head? Nuff’ said.
\nNext up:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOne of my all-time favs and so apropos with the ridiculous culture wars going on in the US right now: the Republican hard-core Christian types legislating against LGBTQI rights wherever they can get away with it, the relegating of women to second-class citizenship in so many religions: Catholicism, Evangelical sects, Mormonism, and Orthodox Judaism chief among them, not to mention COVID and vaccine denial by so many of the same folks. There is only one source: religious thought.
\nAsk yourself- what Freethinking group, what Secular organizations come out with such archaic, repressive, retarded thinking? None. It is only the religious. Get rid of religion and all this bullshit goes away.
\nHeard of gay pride?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWell this is Scum Pride. ‘Nuff said on that one too!<\/p>\n

DONE
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nDONE with Religion. Spreading the New Enlightenment Secular Science Perspective that leaves only Humanism in its wake is where it’s at.
\nIt is what ALL the bumper stickers, this website and my Unbelieving Scum YouTube channel are all about:
\nQuestioning religious claims and authority, promoting hard-won human knowledge: science, over silly and repressive superstitions just like the first Enlightenment thinkers did. AND promoting human rights and human flourishing over any and all ideologies.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nRight! <\/p>\n

IKR!!!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd it does. The more anyone learns about a religion: all its absurd claims and illogical conclusions, the origin and authorship of its ancient, all too ignorant scriptures, written millennia ago by people who had limited data, living in primitive, barbaric times from
\nthe “Infancy of our Species”, as Hitch used to say – the less anyone can be bamboozled by the non-sense there-in. Its an old saw among us non-believers that if you wanna make an atheist-read the Bible-the whole thing. Read the ugly barbaric stories, the vengeful, capricious demanding god, the blatant contradictions. From what we hear from folks in ex-Muslim organizations, it works the same way for the Quran.<\/p>\n

\nOne Hell of An Idea
