The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

I like that picture. Especially when someone posts it as a comment on my MySpace page.
Love it Larry. I have never seen that one before.
This picture makes for awesome propaganda!
Great picture - great message!!
Hmmm...just wondering - would it be ok to use this for the cover on the calendar? The calendar is coming along slowly mainly due to the technoinability of the creator (me) but it is getting there. This picture would make a great cover!!
I cannot claim rights to this picture because I did not create it, however...I don't think there are any copyrights to it...

Good afternoon Larry:
A first post from an agnostic here.
Nice sign - but I'd be very interested to hear how you can "disprove" a Theist's God.
I'm all ears.!
I have to think that the person who would make a poster like that is pretty insecure about whatever they actually believe.
Why do you care so much? Christians are assholes because they run around trying to preach at everyone else, why become the exact same type of asshole by running around doing the same thing in the opposite direction?
If not, and someone has a higher-resolution hoto similar, I could whip something up for yous guys. At least then I'm using my 6 years of college. lol
YOU shut the fuck up! WE'LL save America!
Well first of all this was meant to be funny. It was a joke based on the christian right's movement...if you can't tell the words have been a bit changed at the top.
As far as I'm concerned the fact that there isn't proof of a god is good enough for me. I do not default to a theist viewpoint only because I cannot understand how evolution works of if we still haven't figured out how to cure cancer completely. Either way..thanks for the comment.

Well I think you have to look at the bigger picture here. Activist theists (such as ourselves) are an antithesis to the huge christian right movement. Our silence has led to this type of neo/theocon rule of government, the xtian fundamentalists are not only voting they are getting elected and now our supreme court is governed by right wing theist ideologues and their decisions will affect your life. Not to mention the bullshit war and other corrupt christian ideologies that have plagued our country for quite some time now. Religion needs to be held to the same amount of scrutiny as anything else and it takes people who are bold enough to figh the establishment to do so. After all the civil rights movement was not passive.
As you may have heard Jerry Fallwell died this morning, good fucking riddance. He started the political movement of evangelicals....they started this in your face attitude and got active...so to have social change and to stop the xtian right from complte theocratization of this country...shutting up and sitting quiet is not an option for people like myself who actually care. Education is the key, along with activism and voting. So the fact of the matter is this for those atheists/agnostics (and I mean this generally not specifically to you) who bitch about our activism, you have to wonder why spend so much time criticizing us while giving the xtian right a free pass? After all we are on your side.
Cheers

That's a compelling case I suppose, and I don't doubt that the cause has merit, but I've always thought that the right idea will win out because it is the right idea, and not because someone is barking it at you on a street corner.
I don't think minds get changed by anyone being an asshole about their cause. Look at PETA. Do you think any steak eater in the world has ever been converted to veganism because PETA does outrageous shit? Do hardened racists reform themselves because the NAACP tries to make them feel bad?
Christianity is on the way out. The resurgence of it, was a political move that is floundering now. Bush will be out of office soon, and it don't look like any of the contenders are going to replace him in religious zeal.
50 years ago though? Think about how much progress has been made. I just don't think meaness helps the cause is all.
Well Mr. Duke,
I guess you think what we're doing here is "mean" however, I do not understand why you think so. If you are refering to the above pic I posted..well that was just in good fun. I don't go out on the street and yell at people to "convert" to atheism. However, I do believe in activism..which is why I started a Secular organization at my school which drew over 100 people on our first event. Religion is one of those things where the establishment has allowed it free pass and not only that...but anyone against religion is automatically branded as "immoral" or "evil" or whatever. But the more people start speaking out the more people start to feel compelled to add their voice to the cause, this is why the Rational Response Squad has been effective (and yes there have been deconversions directly related to the RRS).
I will add this also, that if you think christianity is dying out once Bush leaves office, you are living in a dream world. Even Barrak Obama is a huge christian..his agenda involves approaching evangelicals. He believes secularists are wrong in thinking that there is a wall between church and state. There is ONE known congressman that is secular ONE. So I do not think that with bush leaves christianity in this country.
And in 50 years things have changed because people made them change. Social change does not happen by sitting around and idealizing about it. Prime example: Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X etc..etc..etc...
I appreciate your criticism...and I do hope you're not calling me an asshole personally.

Mr.Duke,
Since you've come on these forums, almost all you have done is complain about "meanness" and assertivenes.
