I don't see it that way. Atheists don't have a leader (pope, priest, etc.) who interprets a set of rules, then tells followers how they should live their lives.
About all that they have in common is that they don't buy all of the myths and fairy tales floating around.

Are Atheists damned because they enjoy Greek Mythology?

Damnation is a fictional religious concept, so no.

Oh don't be so sensitive, if you don't like things like this stay away from an Atheist's thread. The title gives it away 'Atheist Tattoo ideas! Help'

NP man, i didnt take it as a knock. And yeah I got sick of doing the same images all the time when i worled in a shop. I have a shop set up at home, inspected and all now. I do what I want, when I want and Im happier than i have ever been. I dont work as much, but I dont sit around waiting for walk-ins either. Theres no wasted time

Personally, I've always found the so-called "darwin fish" to be the most intelligent symbolic representation of the conviction that knowledge matters more than faith; especially as it borrows from, and comments on, one of the most ancient symbols of christianity itself.

However, I also happen to believe that tattoos should, as much as possible, be something that expresses one's uniqueness, so perhaps a personal variation on the theme might work out better in the long run; but that would obviously be your own choice

edit:

The following text is not a mockery of Vittles.

I have personalized his words more to my liking.

I can do that.

I didn't quote anyone.

We do need a funny Latin name.

Any ideas?

Personally, I've always found the Darwin Fish (insert funny scientific Latin name) to be a very intelligent symbolic representation of the conviction that knowledge supports and mobilizes faith; especially as it borrows from, and comments on, one of the most ancient and recently mobilized symbols of Christianity itself.

hippie why are you mocking this post?

I recently decided to go down the same path as the OP, and this advice may not work for you but it did for me, so i thought i would put my two cents in.

Once you get past where and how large, the only thing that helped me out was to find something that describes the most basic idea from which you branch your ideals off of. To show you what i mean, the cross is a symbol by which people project the larger ideal of a god, and the way of life that falls under following that deity. I thought through many of the more serious ideas that people usually give, and it seems the more i asked others for what would express that the best, i got farther away from who i am.

I landed on "Can't Be Saved", it's the name of a song from the rock band senses fail, I've had the song since it came out, but only when i was rolling down the 101 and it came on when my ipod was on shuffle did it click to me..

It rests on the side of my arm closest to my chest on my bicep- this shows enough that those who don't care/can't understand will dismiss as just a dumb quote. It could be extremely useful in a situation where possibly "screaming" athiesm isn't the best idea- and I'm sure we all know, no matter how passionate we may feel about some things, there will not always be people ready to be tolerant of what you think is right

For me, and those intrigued enough to find out, it means that the only path that will succeed for me is one i tread alone, without the assumed help from a greater power, or anyone else for that matter. Another thing that was very important for me that it doesn't promote that I believe that path is right for everyone, but it is who I am.

cliffnotes

1.Find out what Atheism means to you, look in your own day to day life for what speaks that, and it doesn't hurt if it looks sick. It worked for me.

2.Or you could just get zombie jesus. Frankly I don't see enough of those.

I believe it works Good to attract those things you desire by starting with a clean magnet.

When did atheists become as annoying and foolish as Christians and Muslims?

A tat to show your religious/spiritual views is foolish. Regardless of the view.

YOUR Art Hater, is foolish.

OUR Art is Good.
