Is an awesome reality!!!!



....ehhh im too much of a cynic to go for that. I think I would go with a tee that says

"An Optimist believes this is the best possible of all worlds, and it terrifies me to think that he/she is probably right."

3. I admire you, cbayer.

You seem to stand up for the Christian values, at least the better parts of them, I was taught as a child: helping the poor, hungry, sick, homeless; standing up for truth; helping, not judging others, nor condemning them, etc. Of course I grew up in the south, and a lot of racism and bigotry was built-in to the system. Still, the ideas the church taught were taught with the expectation none of us would offer such comforts to the bigots' targets.

But the fact is that modern Christianity is nothing like what I, and obviously you, were taught as children. There is no vestige of the message of jesus (intentionally uncapitalized) left in mainstream "christianity." It's become nothing but politics, mean, hateful, pathological politics that salts the ground before and behind it.

So, in this instance, I'll wear a blank t-shirt.

Agnostically yours,

4. I also wear a blank t-shirt, xfundy, but

I disagree that there is not vestige of the positive messages instilled in me in the church today.

There are groups, congregations, denominations and individuals who devote themselves to causes that I am embrace.

They have been hard to see or hear because of the madding crowd that has been very much in the forefront screaming loudly for the last 20 years.

But they are there. Moral Mondays in North Carolina is one such group that keeps me optimistic.
