I want to do more

[Cartoonist]

I don't want to evangelize, but I want to spread the word. My recent idea was to just hang out with a sign. I couldn't decide on the wording.

THERE IS
NO GOD
-----------
YOU ARE
--FREE!--

The first line is an unprovable statement. Saying there is no evidence of God is not the same thing. So I'm stuck.

1. "No god will make you free"

is true no matter how you approach it.

[Kurt V.]

2. skim through thus spoke zarathustra. maybe something sign worthy in there?

3. Maybe just use the first stanza of Lennon's "Imagine"

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

4. I like this...

5. Lao Tzu

The Tao that is spoken of is not the eternal Tao. A philosophical concept about what can not be put into words. Or, if there was a “god” you wouldn’t know.

6. "I don't know" isn't very compelling.

Albeit accurate.

7. Might get them to

Scratch their head and start a conversation. Might not.

8. That reminds me of a question from a friend.

As she was walking out my front door she asked me what I thought happens when we die. I said "nothing". She shrugged and kept going. She hasn't brought it up since.

This could have started a conversation, she didn't want to.
I haven't pushed. We are still friends.

9. My response....

The first thing that happens is your hard drive is wiped clean, after that it doesn't matter.

[Delmette2.0]

10. That's a good reply.

Problem she is very limited on her computer knowledge. That too would go over her head.

I will relay this on to my son, the IT tech, he will use use it.

12. One

I like to use is, and it plays on the christers line about knowing god and knowing peace, is:

Know gods, no peace. No gods, know peace.

13. T-shirts can be a good tool

I have one with the phase from Imagine, "Above us only sky." I like its subtlety. I also have one with the atomic symbol open at the bottom (similar to my icon but no A). Most people in my rural, red area don't know what it is.

You can always find more provocative ones if that's your style, but those may tend more toward confrontation than conversation.

14. Update

Ask an Atheist

I've kind of decided on that one or a variation. Maybe just the word Atheist.

We have a riverfront with a promenade where I usually take my daily walk. There is almost always a group of Witnesses with their display of literature. This town needs to be liberated.

15. Good idea

16. T-shirts are all right

I don't like wearing messages, myself. Okay for other folks. I reserve my t-shirt space for cartoon characters or musicians.
