The Wrath Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've got an idea for a bumper sticker that I might try to trademark (and I trust no one in here to steal it from me). I'm sure you've all seen the "coexist" bumper stickers that are becoming more and more common, these days. See attachment, if you haven't. Well, I for one, think that religions don't need to "coexist." Rather, the whole human race needs to outgrow religion. I'm trying to work in at least one symbol from each major religion. For the first O, I have a yinyang. For the U, I have the symbol for the zodiac sign Leo (upside-down). For the T, I have the obvious Christian cross. For the G, I have the Islamic crescent moon, with the star inside serving as the other line of a G. The second O is a Star of David. The W is the Arabic script for Allah (الله). All I lack is an R. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Did you consider using the ®? Perhaps the Eye of Horas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've thought about just using a plain R. The Eye of Horus is a good fit, but I don't know that many people would recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Or an synonym for outgrow: grow beyond, leave behind, relinquish, discontinue, give up; see also abandon 1, discard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Abandon and Discard are good ideas, but I think the B and D would be hard to do. I replaced the G (which had been an Islamic crescent) with a 90-degree rotated Hindu Om symbol. I am considering putting the following Bible verse on it: "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." -I Corinthians 13:11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 That would be a good ironic bible quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not to burst your bubble, but I saw the "Idiots" bumper sticker on an actual Ohio'an car just last week, and a Google search gives me (among others?): and But I didn't see "outgrow." 0096 2251 2110 8105 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yeah, not surprising that there are similar ideas. But the "contradict" one gives me a good R to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
