Jesus is coming. And I’m fairly sure He’s HIV-negative.

Hey! That’s my line!  
_Wanna compair notes?_

Oh, and I had a friend of mine who answered the door once wearing his “Hello my name is Satan” teeshirt.  
One of those ones that looks like one of those little stickers ya’ know?  
Anyway it was the Mormon elders knocking on the door looking for his sister since she used to be one of them. Now she’s insanely Wiccan without the bi part.  
Funny as hell!

Is there any way to get a restraining order against Jesus? Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find the incredibly gory t-shirts advertising the crucifixion more horrific. I mean, yeah, the “Jesus Loves You” shirts are annoying in a well-meaning, fluffy, I-brought-you-this-cup-of-coffee-and-hope-you’ll-renounce-your-amoral-ways-and-join-my-Savior-in-Heaven kind of way (wow, that was a lot of hyphens), but the shirts with a huge bloody spike on the front and a picture of a crying Christ on the back just irk me. I guess I kind of percieve a badly veiled threat in the shirts. Y’know, if you don’t get hip with the Messiah, he’s gonna _drive this bloody spike into your eyeball_. Or maybe I just don’t get out enough.

Jesus loves me;

But He’s told me you make Him simply want to barf!

I don’t mind it if people want to wear a WWJD bracelet or a shirt that asks “What Would Jesus Do?” But for crying out loud, is it absolutely necessary to try and get me to convert to your religion, too?

I just thought of something.  
Have you guys seen the peircing commercial?  
The one where they show all these peirced people telling about how they did it cause they loved so and so and then they show a picture of Jesus who was peirced because he loves us.

I damn near choked on my dinner!:eek:

When you see someone wearing WWJD paraphernalia, ask them what they do when they run out of wine.

How about a shirt that says, “Jesus grits his teeth and tolerates you”?
