Shit like this drives me absolutely batshit.
Folks using religion as a get rich scheme, and in ways so transparent it only makes the folks who pony up look more sheep-like. In fact, it doesn't do much for the "Christianity isn't a Pyramid Scheme" paradigm.
A couple of guys have created "custom" t-shirts declaring the Christianity of the wearer. There's a branding to it and they are individually numbered 1 - 1,000,000. They are selling these shirts to Christians, starting at $20 a pop!
You figure... if they sell a million, that's $20,000,000 dollars for them!
But here's the silver lining... they're donating 30% of the proceeds to Christian missions. Which means only $14,000,000 for them! So, let's subtract the cost of making the shirts and the marketing aspect of the business.
Maybe they only have to split $7,000,000. Life's tough.
Here's the most simple way I can put it:
If anyone is going to be swayed because you're wearing a shirt or because you have a fish on the back of your car, then they are absolutely dumb and not worth having in your group.
Also, if you are going to look for folks in public widely publicizing their religion so hardcore that they're wearing a damn I.D. shirt then you need to piss the hell away and steer clear of me because I have some minor but vital sinning to do and I don't need the grief.
If you buy one of these shirts you are dumb.
