Since the amount of Crusading Atheists/Antitheists in the United States is greatly outnumbered by the amount of Theists/Agnostics/Non-Crusading Atheists, here’s an idea…
First of all, let’s clarify something. There’s not really a “War On…” (Religion, Christmas, Christianity, Etc…) going on in the US. That’s a misuse of the word “war”, in my opinion. You see, the word “war” indicates a struggle in which two sides are engaged and both hold out at least SOME reasonable hope for victory.
And I’m not SURE on this, but I’m a 6.9 that since Crusading Atheists/Antitheists are vastly outnumbered by non CA/As, the CA/As don’t really have ANY “reasonable”, plausible hope for victory. I mean, that’s like saying the Democratic Party in China or the Nazi Party in America is engaged in a “war” for control of the government. It might please the respective minorities to THINK so, but come on…Nazis aren’t taking over the US, and China’s government isn’t falling to a Democratic coup. That’s just…well…fairy tale talk.
SAME-DAY EDIT: NO, I am NOT ripping off Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart compared it to the Harlem Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals. The difference is, when you watch those two teams play, EVERYONE knows who is going to win (at least, on a 6.9 certainty scale) INCLUDING the WASHINGTON GENERALS. There’s no pre-game speech about how “We can beat them if we really really try!” going on…it’s a joke, it’s meant to be a joke, everyone (including the participants) KNOWS it’s a joke. Big difference, as CA/As don’t generally realize how funny they are. You know, they’re just funny. Like, you know…funny, what?
So, let’s say it’s more of a very small scale, outfunded, outresourced, vastly outmanned minor guerrila conflict on religion. That’s a much more appropriate military comparison. Basically they can annoy and harass and cause minor incidental damage, but there’s no non-lunatic/fanatic that thinks, as a CA/A, they’re actually going to WIN. I mean, come on…really. Fairy Tales, man!!!
So here’s the idea:
If you’re a theist, or if you’re just PISSED OFF about the general arrogance and obnoxious attitude of the CA/A movement, for every article you read about a poster/picture/etc being forced to be taken down at a school/courthouse/public setting, PUT TWO OF THEM UP on a PRIVATE setting. So, one less picture of even minor religious significance taken down, two put up. Perfectly legal…just put a couple signs on your lawn. I mean, it’s private property, they can’t question the legality of that.
This will accomplish two things:
1) It will, in effect, force the CA/As and their lawyers to spend money and time for NOTHING. In fact, they will be spending money and time to PUT UP A RELIGIOUS SIGN! BRILLIANT!
2) It will REALLY piss them off. Which, since you can’t really talk to them rationally, is kinda cool along with “Ignoring them and hoping they go away”. But they’re persistent little angsty buggers!
