A Few Simple Questions Concering T-Shirts

Posted May 13th @ 10:50 am by Chris Salzman

One of my favorite blogs is Marc Heinrich’s Purgatorio. We’ve featured it in the past mainly because when one spends a good chunk of their time researching and thinking about Christianity like Andy and I do it helps to be able to take a step back and poke fun at some of the odd-ball things it produces.

Marc does a few weekly thematic posts. One of my favorites is Divine Vinyl, pretty much solely because of this album cover:

Anyway…

Today is T-shirt Tuesday where they post a picture of one of those evangelistic T-shirts. You know, the kind that take something from popular culture and using (moderately clever) word-play twist it to ask a question or present the gospel ‘creatively’.

Here’s the one from today:

Now, it’s easy for me to dismiss these as ignorant goofballery, but in an effort to give the vast Christian merchandising business the benefit of the doubt, I’ve decided to step warily off my extremely high horse and ask a few questions of you, our ThinkChristian readers.

Has any part of your journey with Christ been positively impacted by one of these shirts? And/or do you personally know anyone who has been impacted by one of these shirts?

And, as always, I would like you to weigh in with any other opinions.
