Fnord Bumper Sticker

If you know what fnords are and I wasn’t the one who told you about them, I take my nonexistent hat off to you (NOTE TO SELF: buy a hat).

You have no idea how hard it was to find a religious symbol that resembled an R. Had to dredge up some obscure quote unquote “pagan” faith you’ve probably never heard of (ah neo-paganism, the hipster of religions). The only other option was equally underground, but was also used by Neo-Nazis, so I thought that maybe that wouldn’t be such a good choice, although I have absolutely nothing against the non-Nazi related religion that uses it but I do think they should have found out whether Nazis were using the symbol they wanted before choosing it when they were founded undoubtedly within the last few decades (seriously you guys. Stop pretending that your religions are ancient. Also, stop using the word “Pagan” like it’s the name of a religion instead of a catchall term for any and every religion that isn’t Christianity Judaism or Islam. You’re only embarrassing yourselves). The ancient religion that both the Nazi and non-Nazi religions ripped off is fine, though. It’s not their fault.

Eucharist Motivator

It’s a cookbook!!!

Here’s the Steeple

Here’s the Church

Traditional Marriage Motivator

Some more wholesome moral values straight from the Bible. Those who don’t follow American politics probably won’t get this one.

Jesus Spawn-Camping Motivator

I read the book, so I knew where he was going to respawn

Ignorance is Strength

I’m not sure if you noticed, but I’m an atheist. I was also an atheist when I made this picture, although I was a bit more obnoxious about it, as an unfortunate side-effect of frequenting a religion and spirituality forum where I was near constantly exposed to the dumbest, craziest, and generally most awful members of the religious fringe. I’m still an atheist, but I’ve mellowed out a bit in the years since I noticed that that exposure was turning me into the sort of hard-liner atheist I hate (mostly because they make me look bad by association, but partly because they’re just as bad as their hard-liner religious counterparts) and left that forum for good, and I’m not really comfortable with how aggressive I was in my disbeliefs back then, and try to distance myself somewhat from some of the more spiteful things I wrote and made during that period. This would be one of those things, except that I’m really proud of the composition and aesthetics and whatnot, if not the message.

The message in question was drawing parallels between mainstream Christianity, Catholicism in particular, and George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. While the parallels might not be so fitting for your average Christian, but it’s still a dead ringer for old school Christianity and the more hard-core modern Bible-thumpers. But, as mentioned before, I’m not really proud of the message so I won’t bother going into those parallels here.

I’m still quite fond of poking fun at religion in a more lighthearted manner, though. Well I think it’s lighthearted, anyway. The hardcore fundies never seem to get the joke.

Pro-Life demotivator

If you must know, the “you” in this passage refers to the Philistines, in the context of a lengthy rant about the Bible-authors’ massive hate-on for the Philistines. Having said that, there is no possible context in which this would be even remotely okay.
