Did you copy those off a shirt? I seem to remember a friend of mine (acquaintance) in high school had a shirt with those types of things on there. You’re just missing, “If shit happens, it is the will of Allah.” ---

It comes from a book. But in the book, it’s on a t-shirt. Don’t know what book, because I got the list from a friend. ---

Where, O where, may I obtain a copy of this sacred text? A book, that has t-shirt wisdom in it, actually shown in t-shirt form? And a million thank-yous for posting this insightful, yet incredibly humourous reference duide to the world’s religions. You can feel confident that it will have brightened everyone’s day and will have offended none. \ :wally ---

Hmmmmm…I think “Shit Happens” would be better suited to Nihilism. Taoism is more like, “If shit happens here, then somewhere else, it doesn’t.” Or something. Whatever. ---

Excuse me **Freak**? When did _you_ become the Guardian of Drivel? This same list has been worn by morons for at least 4 years, and I really didn’t find it all that amusing the first time I saw it. \*\* Andros\*\* was right on, it smacks of the infantile humor that’s all too common in my inbox. Oh good, another shit joke! Please. ---

- don’t scare away the newbie! Or, to be more exact: Don’t scare away the female, Swedish, allegedly Jodie-Foster-lookalike newbie, OK ? 😉 But perhaps this thread would be more in its element in MPSIMS, after all. S. Norman ---

I have that t-shirt. It includes “Hedonism: Theres nothing like a good shit happening”. When I wear it(which is seldom), I get lots of remarks on how funny it is. I guess they’re all morons, huh. ---

I promisse Spiny Norman, no one can scar me away, you can try folks. if I go away it’s because I want to.😛 But your right maybe I posted it in the wrong board. Haven’t really figuerd them out yet. I will, I will. I’m just a dumb, sexy, more redhead than blond actually, Judie-Foster-lookalike and YES I’m a newbie. I still can blame everything on the last thing.😛 ---

[hijack]Fellow Pitizens: I think what we have here is an attempt at humor. I certainly don’t think what Anniz posted was an attempt to get at the essence of any one religion. I didn’t take it any more seriously than I did when I saw it on the t-shirt. Nobody is required to read threads in the pit any more than they’re required to respond to them. It would seem to me that if you don’t like it and it’s not hurting you, go somewhere else.[/hijack] Everyone set now? Good. Now can we get back to the flaming for which we all love and adore etc. this pit? ---

my friend had that on a poster in his room. for protestantism it says “let shit happen to someone else” and you left out atheism - “i dont believe this shit” and agnosticism - “what is this shit?”
