I am getting a collar tattoo and I need some ideas for what to get. My best idea is "Beware of Dogma", but I don't want it to seem like a warning that I have dogma, so I'm thinking I should go in a different direction. Please post your ideas for a 3-5 word atheist phrase, whether it be funny, sarcastic, abrasive, or a combination of those. Thanks for your help!!
in the begining man created god

That said, I'm not sure I conjugated that correctly. Maybe somebody out there who attended Catholic school longer than I did can check this for me.

I have been translating a lot of these phrases to Latin, Greek, Dutch, Danish, German, and Swedish, just to see how they look...as well as to see if I can pronounce them if someone asks me what it says. :)

Permalink Reply by Matt Neary on March 2, 2012 at 9:27am I definitely will. My appointment isn't until April 20th, so as soon as it's done, I will post a photo! I already plan to get the tattoo below, designed by Marc Poulin and edited by Peter. The string can be found here: http://www.thinkatheist.com/photo/new-atheist-symbol
