I really like where WhiteTrash is going with his take on Man’s Ruin — man’s real ruin — tattoo. It’s done by Kevin Adams at Danny’s Ancient Art in Charleston, WV. By the way, for IAM members, here’s a relevant link: IAM:Atheist.

Religion, which should most distinguish us from the beasts, and ought most particularly elevate us, as rational creatures, above brutes, is that wherein men often appear most irrational, and more senseless than beasts.

There are so many forms of paganism I don’t think they could accurately be depicted in a single symbol. Unless you’re talking strictly about Wicca or something.
Is there a particular reason Christian religion is so much more prominant than the others in the tattoo? I’m just curious 😛

Oh, calm down. Religion is no different from chimps grooming the gnats out of eachother’s hair.

What’s that symbol in the upper-left corner? I was a religious studies major, for crying out loud, and I’ve never seen that before.

I would guess because it’s the most oppressive and prominent religion in the US (namely in the south, like where he lives in WV).
I do like the meaning of the tattoo, as well as how strange it is that he’s smiling!

The only thing distinguishing the groups those symbols represent from cults, is the number of people in them.

i am in love with whoever has the balls to get such an awesome tattoo. i hope the owner is prepared for a lifetime of nasty comments and queries from strangers, but inversely, a lifetime of appreciation and amusement from people in total agreement.

May isuggest that man is mans ruin. For without men religion wouldnt be a problem…humans and human nature is mans ruin. I am an atheist but personally think reigion bashing doesn’t get us anywhere and only makes us perceived as ignorant. Technically thought it’s a good piece
