Scarlet Letter

You know those snotty t-shirts that say, "Know Jesus, Know peace"? Well, now atheists can get their own signature shirts. (I just bought two.)

"As yet another delightful T-shirt put it, "Don't pray in our school, and I won't think in your church." "

Another amusing one, from Landover Baptist.

Wow. It is quite possible to be intelligent, educated and informed while still having a place for prayer and G-d in your life. It is clearly just as possible to be very smart and very close and cruel minded.

I like the scarlet letter shirt. It's subtle, literary, clever and polite. The other ones, though funny, are just tacky.

Even when I was a Christian at my most devout, I thought it was sacriligious to wear clothing that shouted belief. I never wore a cross and thought crucifixes were tasteless, too.

Post pics of you in the shirt, okay?

I remember wearing my Adobe shirt (all black with the well known red A in the center) in high school while we were reading "The Scarlet Letter. I'm glad it can have another meaning now. But I never preferred Atheist, I like Agnostic better. Although, to this day, it gets me into trouble with people who think it's their personal job to convert my ass (and the rest of me). Why can't they realize that their god gave me a choice to be who I am?
