Dress Code for atheists:
I remember watching a very old video taken in a bar where if memory serves AronRa was asked if he was ever confronted about an item of clothing (identifying hims as an atheist). (think it was the "A" ). He noted a time a woman who wore a cross in an eating establishment filed a complaint with an employee in establishment stating "That (the "A" ) offends me." The eating establishment employee relayed the problem to Aron? and he decided they (those he was with) will just leave.
This was years ago and I don't know if his position has changed.
Do you have the fortitude to wear items identifying you as a rational (not superstitious) person and if so, how would you respond to a woman in an eating establishment?
I have "I'm going to hell in every religion" and "Fiction" with the symbols and a "Vote Democratic: We're Not Perfect but they're Nuts" stickers on the back of my car and I have a "Make America Smart Again" and a couple other caps. So far I've had quite a few people stop me and tell me they like the signs and caps but never had anybody confront me because of them. I might mention that I live in the reddest part of Arizona but I am retired and don't have to worry about losing my job. They do help me find like-minded folks that I would never have known existed otherwise. As far as the woman goes, it would depend on my mood and who I was with. I probably would have told whoever that her cross offends me but I would hope that the employee would have already seen the nonsense of the situation and we could laugh about it.
Every March 4th I wear my pi tee shirt. Does that make me a rational thinker? I guess I've never thought my clothes portrayed my mind I always think of my clothes portraying my personality
I’ll wear whatever the damn well fuck I please, and if it’s a pro-science shirt or one that says Atheist Agenda... I wouldn’t give the bitch any control over my general day or where I’d sit, but if I heard someone say such nonsense while not in those clothes, I’d probably troll them greatly.
I refrain mostly because of my job. At work I'm outspoken enough but the company is big on Christianity so I don't want to start anything with them or other employees. Also, I am a delivery driver and the top brass says we have to be "the image of the company."
I'm not much of a follower or someone who feels the need to belong to groups and wear the uniform that identifies me as a member. If I must interact with groups of people I prefer to be the leader and dress to my own tastes. I don't fly flags or put bumper stickers on my vehicles unless it is the logo of my company and it is for business purposes. I don't have any issue discussing my Atheism with people alone or in groups but that's just me.
