"Sanity" Plates

These aren't Vanity plates. They are "sanity" plates, and there are lots of them. This first one is donated by our own Mushinronjya. The latter two are mine.

How out can you be??? What's on YOUR car??

In Jersey? East coast, this is nothing. The guy in Texas has cojones (unless he's in Austin). Up here in the NW, you could get away with this in Seattle city limits, I'm sure, but forget the burbs, where there's a church of some sort (protestant, evangelical, you name it) every quarter mile.

For some reason the NC DMV rejected my vanity plate of "COK SUKR". I cant figure out why. :-)

Seriously, I do have a vanity plate but if I reveal it in here some religious nutter could figure out my identity.

What brave people. I rarely hesitate now to declare my lack of belief in most cases but I've not even dared put the fish with legs on my car. Here in the bibull belt I'd be keyed without a doubt.

Christians can be anything but Christian, you know . . .

What you can't see on the bottom picture, is that this is a UNITED WE STAND patriotic plate. I like to mix atheism with patriotism as much as possible.

You can plainly see that the Texas plate has a frame from Landover Baptist. I often listen to Christian radio with Pastor Deacon Fred in mind-- it can be a hoot! Best wishes to those brave souls who sport such license plates. Alex: do you think the NC DMV would allow a No God plate?

Brave, indeed.
Had the evolve fish on my car and I got keyed.

I have seen religious vanity plates here in NC ("4 Him", "Pray", etc) so I imagine that they wouldnt be able to reject an atheist plate on the grounds of equality. Try it and see even if you dont actually buy the plate but if you live anywhere in this state except here in Chapel Hill be ready to have your car vandalised.

I thought you said your car was vandalized. Not in Chapel Hill?

I always go for the discarded "666" plates that nobody else wants (ie, "666-ABC" as is the numbering scheme in Colorado). All you have to do is ask! The personnel in charge of issuing plates have no reason not to reach down and pull one from their pile that Satan-phobes have left behind. Not really atheistic, but, thanks to contributions from superstitious folks, it makes memorizing your own plate number easier (handy for a number of reasons/situations).

Belief without evidence is just faith - worthless. Cite your evidence.

Comment from: Joe Zamecki [Member]

Well I'll ask again. Who's the owner of the Texas plate, at the top of the photo? It says it's from "Mushinronjya," and I'm not familiar with this...person?

Does anyone know what "Mushinronjya" is?

Still on vacation but found a moment and internet connection to post this:

Ron Suskind's new book has exposed that the White House had concocted a fake letter from Saddam Hussein's intelligence director, Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, (backdated to July 1, 2001) that said Mohammad Atta, the believed leader of the 9/11 attacks, had trained in Iraq.

What fate should befall the Bushies? Is there a prison dark enough for this scum?

I have the Evolve fish on my car. I used to have a science shark but it fell off. I bought another one but haven’t gotten around to putting it on yet. My vanity plate is cryptic so people have to ask. “AASTDR 1” It stands for American Atheist State Director 1 for Illinois. I was the 1st under Ellen’s rein. I am a quality engineer in the construction/installation industry and thus visit the sites. It has gotten around to most of the field staff. When there is a new guy paired up with an older one, he’ll come up to me and say so&so told me to ask you what your plates stand for.

My predecessor under MMOH had to get the Illinois Secretary of State to walk through his “ATHEIST” plate because it kept getting rejected. As far as I know, he still has that plate.

That's my plate! I'm the guy in Texas with that. :) Nobody has messed with my car yet. At least they wouldn't while I'm around. :D

phreedm... you go ahead and tell that to my car. I'm sure it would be very hurt. What part makes you think it's not real?

Interesting story.... I asked for "NO GOD" and got it. I asked for "ATHEOS" and got rejected, twice.. I'm not on a final appeal where I had to write a letter and send it snail-mail. I'm awaiting the response on that. I can't believe my Texas "NO GOD" got approved, but "ATHEOS" didn't. They first said that it was a trademark. My second rejection they said it could be "offensive". Let's wait to hear about the 3rd occurrence. :) Meanwhile, I did a bunch of searches.. "SATAN", "GODLUV", "LUVGOD", "JESUS".. all these things are approved! I'm in Dallas, not Austin.

I got the science space ship for my car. Actually I got 4 of them. When people tell me that they like my emblem and ask where I got it, I tell them and then give them one and make them promise to go to Evolvefish.com and buy some to give away too. I need to buy some more of them.

Who knows if they do it but it's always been a good conversation starter and it has the potential to spread the word.

Does this make me a missionary????

Comment from: DD Dropout [Member]

Heh. Maybe, shorebird, maybe.

Your comment made me think of the "fishers of men" bit.

You use a small fish as bait to draw people in. Here's hoping some of them get permanently hooked.

No one has messed with my car either and it's been awhile since I added the Darwin emblem. I'm in Round Rock which is not Austin but close enough geographically I guess.

Comment from: Tarma [Member]

shorebird,

Yeah, Evolvefish.com is great. We've got the fish "n'chips" emblem on both of our cars, and I love my "so many christians, so few lions" bumper sticker. Have been in Texas a little over 2 years now, and no vandalism so far. The jehovah's witnesses and others are too stupid to understand the "no bible thumpers" emblem I put up by our front door, though. One guy thought I had something against the Red Cross :)

Phreeky is either retarded or has a extreme case of the see-only-what-I-want-to disease (aka religion).

Comment from: mushinronjya [Member] · http://www.myspace.com/gamer

Phreedm is fucking retarded. Always has been.
Although my plate does have the Texas symbol between NO and GOD, I'm pretty sure it's considered no spaces.

Therefore, not only does Phreedm not have any common sense, but his god doesn't exist either. Those two things can usually work together pretty well.

Comment from: mushinronjya [Member] · http://www.myspace.com/gamer

Phreedm,
by the way, you can't put a space in "no god" when you do a check for it on:

If only Phreedumb would apply such critical thinking to his own beliefs in early iron-age mesopotamian mythology.

I bet you Phreeky bought the Jeebus Box fraud hook line and sinker. It's fun to remind xians suffering from see-only-what-I-want-to disease about their affliction. So I post this months old artcle:

phreedm,

Know what I think? I think you didn't think my plate was real because you don't know what a specialty plate looks like in Texas. Then, when questioned, you went to try to find me online and were not competent enough to do that. Now I doubt you'll respond, unless you read this and are stubborn.

Comment from: neowolfe [Member]

Sometimes I think I overestimate the intelectual prowess of those in our movement.
For example we have seen "Got Jeus" and "Hug today" on religious personalized plates. If you guys are going to go to serious war with a brainwash thousands of years old, the crutch of the weak minded, why are you arguing about whether a plate is real or not? Wouldn't more be gained by a contest for the most creative free thinker plate? It's like you're at war with each other rather than the real enemy.

Decipher this plate. 3M TA3. It would be easy if you saw it coming up behind you.

mushin, of course not. Phreedm is only here to antagonize not converse. He won't admit he's wrong...ever.

Comment from: mushinronjya [Member] · http://www.myspace.com/gamer

I hate butt pirates like Phreedm.
But that's what the xian community is made up of - butt pirates like him.
They have no care for the truth - just continuing and extending their delusion... much like that creationwiki site.

Comment from: neowolfe [Member]

This the end of an extinct thread, but I would like to contribute that it is my opinion that TXatheist and mushinronjya have reduced an intelligent discussion into a debate about who is the most likely butt buddy. That seems to be, from my point of view, far removed from the reality that the free thinker movement is the salvation of this planet. If it was my website, I would have them both removed, or at least placed on a list of those whose contributions had some revelence to some debate.
Why don't you two work out your sexual confusion in some private chatroom? Especially you, mush. You brought it up way out of line, and completely irrelevent.

neowolfe, and you would have left Phreedm's point that it wasn't a valid plate? I have yet to insult Phreedm but I stand by my antagonist comment because I clearly showed he was wrong on this thread and before and he doesn't even admit he's wrong for the slanderous accusation.

I suppose your eat me plate was an intellectual statement :)

Comment from: mushinronjya [Member] · http://www.myspace.com/gamer

Oh, tell me neobutt, what would you have us say? What do you think a xian can say in response? What can be said that hasn't already been said? Do you think there is something that still exists that would be "insightful" to say about believers like him, to educate everyone? Do you think we can hold some sort of discussion that would be intellectual concerning someone's imaginary friends that hasn't already been covered in the last 100 years? Making a few comments doesn't "reduce" the thread to something low, since it's not a verbal conversation where you *have* to carry on from the last thing that was said. In any case, please, educate on us how we can best address a dribbling idiot like him in an intellectual manner?

I love the plates. Where I currently reside, however, I would literally risk having my car fire-bombed by the good Christian citizens of the area if I had those.

These people are so stupid, they think it's a requirement to be a fundamentalist Christian in order to live in the USA.

A good friend of mine calls our area the American version of the Taliban.
