The Mr. Paul Aints is a team atheists can root for whether they’re from St. Paul, St. Louis, east coast, west coast, or in a different hemisphere altogether! You don’t even need to be a baseball fan or sports enthusiast to get behind this team because we above all else team atheist fun!
For the second year in a row the minor league baseball team, St. Paul Saints, will be secularized into the Mr. Paul Aints on Friday, August 9, 2013. The team’s players will wear specially designed jerseys displaying the Mr. Paul Aints name change. For the first year ever, the “A” on the Aints jersey will be in the style of the scarlet “A” made popular by the Richard Dawkins Foundation’s Out Campaign.
The jerseys will be auctioned off during the game and a portion of the auction’s proceeds will go to the Family Place homeless shelter in St. Paul. But don’t fret if you can’t participate in the auction because you can wear your atheist pride with the Mr. Paul Aints t-shirts and hats by purchasing them on our ONLINE STORE ($15 each or 2 for $25). Quantities are limited and we are not planning on ordering more, so once they're gone they might be gone forever.
.The Minnesota Atheists organization is also feminizing the namesake of Minnesota’s capital city, Saint Paul, with Ms. Paula Aints shirts and hats to appropriately honor the misogynistic views and biblical instructions against women written by the Apostle Paul. For example: “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet” (1 Timothy 2:11-12 – NIV).
There are a lot of wonderful freethinking women who are leaders in the atheist and secular community—many of whom provide profound ideas, concepts, and instructions. So it is with them, and an entire world full of other women making the world a better place, in mind that we offer Ms. Paula Aints shirts and hats to celebrate feminism.
T-shirts (available in both black and white) and hats are $15 each or 2 for $25. You can mix and match t-shirts and hats for the 2 for $25 deal. All net proceeds from the sale of Mr. Paul Aints and Ms. Paula Aints t-shirts and hats go directly to the Minnesota Atheists so we can sustain our mission to build and promote a positive atheist community.
