Seriously? This is why other countries despise us. Why people are disgusted by Christians and Christianity. And why people like me are so terrified of being aligned in any way with people who wear this type of shirt.
I will second that. - elclinto

"Jesus' teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Bible-believing, religious people of his day. However, in the main, our churches today do not have this effect. The kind of outsiders Jesus attracted are not attracted to contemporary churches, even our most avant-garde ones. We tend to draw conservative, buttoned-down, moralistic people. The licentious and liberated or the broken and marginal avoid church. That can only mean one thing. If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishoners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did." - Tim Keller (via azspot) (via transparentcommunity) (via elclinto)
