I really should get one of these

Categories:

It has the perfect level of snark — I could use it at the local grocery store, and it would take a few minutes for what it means to sink in…time enough for me to make my escape.

Like, no religion?

Well, there you are, solved–at least in its broad outlines.

You could fill it with Bible verses and when challenged by a believer ask them to draw one, two, three, or four (the ‘combo’ platter), and tell you whether they think each is a good source for morality or not.

You could go shopping for some true religion.

Early vaccination, until there’s a cure.

Honestly, I was hoping for a religion as baggage-style joke. That’s more my style of snark.

Now, now Glen. That’s like saying “The cure for cancer is no tumors.”

+1, and add some level of quarantine on top.

Some ribbons would be nice, too, but last time I checked the only color still available is that sickly brownish-green shit. And I think dysentery has dibs on that one.

Could easily be interpreted as “Together we can find the cure : religion”

Tempting, but where I live, Darwin fish get dismembered and the cars they’re attached to get keyed. I’m not quite ready to out myself in meatspace.

Love it,
Just and an “its” instead of the “the” and we are home free…
Together we can can find its cure.
Because we know there is a cure, most of us here are in full remission!

No t-shirt? I’d buy a t-shirt with this message!

How about the idea of printed packages of plastic–no, RECYCLABLE– garbage bags,…as in recycling the waste product into something useful?

Ditto. The religious could easily grab one of these and take it as affirmation. Subtle humor is lost on them.

I love it!
But I live in a tiny town full of ignorance.

I still love it, though. (thumbs up)

You could get beaten up for such an inoffensive statement? Life must be tougher than I thought in USA-land.

But I do see their point; beating the sense out of someone would surely make them believe …

@SuckPoppet: The state of the USA: it never occurred to me that there is a part of the world where that is not an offensive statement to at least two-five people in any given setting. I’m fairly certain I would get fired if I brought that bag to work….

Here in Milwaukee I’d be a bit leery about carrying that bag into a store given that when I had atheist bumper stickers I got spit at and flipped off. Don’t think I’d want the cheeseheads to be within striking distance.

Very precisely put.
