Atheism: When come back, bring evidence. And pie.
[QUOTE=Sunrazor]
More years ago that I care to remember, we did an exercise in sloganeering as part of an advertising class. I like **Surby’s ** because it meets a lot of the criteria of the class, but I’d add one the element of curiosity:
“I don’t believe in Santa Claus, either.”
There are some other really good ones. **Linty Fresh’s ** deserves a close look; the mangled metaphor is classic sloganeering, and in this case **Linty’s ** dead on, I think. Deserves more than “meh.”

Come on, Sunrazor, share the knowledge! What are the other elements of good sloganeering?
God bless St. Dawkins

If God wanted us to believe in him, he’d exist.

As I recall, they were something like this:
- Capture the essence (sum it up; leave nothing out)
- Make it memorable (make sure people can repeat it from memory)
- Keep it short (one verb, one direct object)
- Pique their interest (cause the audience to want to know more)
I think there was one more but I can’t remember it. Something like “make it unique,” but not quite that. I always thought #5 could have been included in one of the others, which is probably why I don’t remember it.
This is just a thumbnail, mind you. Sloganeering was the topic of three lectures and an exercise in ADVERT 101.
How many Gods does it take to change a light bulb?

Could we get Jon Denver to sing that
Give me a bible,
Rip it down the middle
Say Son’s comin’ up
Got more time to fiddle
Life ain’t nothin’ but a muthaf**kin’ riddle
Thank God I’m an atheist

The Southpark episode about atheism had a nice one.
“Atheism: it’s not enough to not-believe; you also have to be a complete dick to everyone who disagrees with you.”

Heh, this thread is giving me a good chuckle. Lots of great replies. I’m wondering what episode this comes from because I missed it.

Go God Go. A brilliant two-parter.
Q.E.D., I am not a Christian. I am beholden to you for your help in GQ for a replacement IC. But I feel obligated to ask, “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
“Dear God: Save us from the people who believe in you.”
