What Does the "Coexist" Bumper Sticker Mean?

Post Author: Bill Pratt

I’m sure you’ve seen these bumper stickers, the ones that say “Coexist” with the letters being formed by the symbols of various world religions.  My problem is that I don’t know what message this sticker is trying to convey.  I’ve come up with the following possibilities:

  1. All religions are equally true.
  2. We should all try to get along.
  3. Peace is a good thing.
  4. Wars between religious groups should stop.
  5. Love your neighbor, regardless of their religious affiliation.

These are about all I could come up with.  So, in order to get to the bottom of this mystery, I invite you to vote on these 5 choices.  Vote on the option you think conveys the message most correctly.  Maybe you have one of these stickers on your car or know someone who does.  If so, you have an advantage, because I don’t personally know anybody that has one.

I will also give you the option to vote for “other” in case you think all of my options are wrong.  If you do vote for “other” make sure you leave a comment as to what “other” means.
