Just when you thought...

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more smugly self-righteous ... I actually saw a bumpersticker that made me barf about as much as the ubiquitous COEXIST bumpersticker does.  To make matters worse, there they were, together, one above the other, on the bumper in front of me.



Of course, the first COEXIST bumperstickers probably made early adoptors feel extra special "in-crowdily" wonderful.  But with the extensive proliferation of them, of course, it loses it's exclusivisity, and you have to once again pick something to be on the cutting edge of the narcisstically self-righteous.

The funny thing is, my bet is most of the people displaying these are atheist or agnostic, and it is a command coming from our betters, in their minds.  Our "betters" being them.

There's only one symbol in either that seems to have much of a problem coexisting and tolerating each other associated with it.

But you're not allowed to point that out.

Incidentally, I kind of liked this one.


Ok, this one is pretty good, too:
