I love this shirt. Just ordered one today.

cexshun

Tell me the meaning of this shirt please...

wow.... this is bound to offend a lot of people. We usually reserve the seat that offends people on purpose to Rickmaven. Looks like you just added your name to the catagory.

>. We usually reserve the seat that offends people on purpose to Rickmaven.

ROFLMFAO

Even as a newbie, I got that one:-)

i am pretty brazen at times, but this takes the cake.

right now, i am at a loss for words. i feel the anger welling up, but you are not worth my keystrokes.....

I don't understand - are you saying he is into heavy metal?

Wow, I honestly didn't think this would offend anyone. I don't get how it's offensive.

As far as where it comes from, this particular comic strip:

I see you failed to explain what the message means...
I'm kinda new to the boards here, but in real life I'm just and old fat fart that enjoys cigars! You really need to explain the meaning for me, in the meantime, there is a quote from the Holy Bible that I would like to share with you.(cexshun) "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."

Well, it doesn't mean anything. It comes directly from that comic strip. You'd have to read it to understand it, I guess. Although I've been examining this from all angles, and I can't see any way see this as derrogatory towards Jesus in any way. If some of you do, well sorry.

myash07... good quote...

cexshun... I would still like an explanation... what does this mean?... I went to the link you posted, looked at the comic strip... even looked at others on the site... to me they arent funny and dont explain the meaning...

cexshun,

are you religious? If so what religion? A christian wouldnt use Christs name in this manner. It's VERY disrespectful...

cexshun
I'm not offended by you, nor anyone else as far as that goes. I'm proud to be living in a country that allows people to express themselves. So don't take it personal, I don't. I was just wondering, why would you wear a shirt with a saying on it, that you claim not to know what it means?
myash07

To all you fog's: It pretty much means he(Jesus) rocks. I, myself, don't necessarily approve of the F'ing part, though I have seen tshirts that are far more offensive than this in public..... Later.....Erik

Thanks Erik...

Well, I dont like the 'F' word used along with my saviors name, but at least it's not meant to be offensive in his mind. I will only say this. please dont wear this shirt. You may offend many folks.

God bless you all.

Mike

Well said Erik

What scares me more than cexshun not being able to say what it means himself is only trumped by his inability to understand that it would be offinsive...

If someone put my grandmothers face on a t-shirt saying that she was "F'ing Metal" (which is a lame t-shirt saying by the way) than I might be just as offended... much less someone who stands in the minds of christians for complete Holiness.... does that make sence?

I'm not going to make a big deal over this one although to say that this really shows me what kind of person that I am talking to when I talk to you that you have that poor of assessment for people.

IMHO

:::note to the people reading this thread:::

--if you were offended by this pic, don't read the comic strip that it derived from. It is WORSE--

I used to help put on and promote heavy metal aggressive Christian rock concerts as a out reach for my church. we would rent ampatheaters and invite any one to come free. Even my pastor would get in the mosh pit. All the bands were Christian and band members had to be strong believers. There was always a invitation to accept Christ as your Savior at the end and many would come forward. Not all churches in the area agreed but I myself never put God in a box on what He can use to bring a soul to Christ.At 46 I still go to Christian rock concerts and yes Jesus rocks metal BIG TIME! But I don't see how the word F*** can glorify His name.If it said "Jesus loves metal and you", that would be cool. The shirt is not cool and if I saw someone wearing it I would think that they were a little confused on there relationship with Christ if they claimed to be a believer or if they were not I would think they were just mocking Him.I agree with myash07 I think you are you are just ignorant. I don't mean that in a belittling way towards you at all. "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."


Thanks for the warning country.I did not even plan on it though.

Normally, I stay out of this, but I would like to offer some perspective.

1. "f'ing" could be freaking, flying, forgiving,freeing. Imputing letters of a vulgar variety rests with the reader.

2. Allowing persons to express their faith in the words of their social group does not necessarily means they are taking the Lord's name in vain. Langugage is an ever changing body.

3. Terms can bear different meanings. I illustrate this by the poster "TrannyMk". I presume Mk works on transmissions. Others could presume Mk is a trans-sexual. This is not an attack on you, TrannyMk., but an illustration to try to show my point.

4. I do not likely subscribe to the beliefs that use this prase, WWJD, but it appears it might be a point of reflection for anyone who has a problem with the shirt.

I would not wear the shirt, but then again, I would not wear anything bearing a religious connotation. But shirt does not offend me, and I am a Christian.

Just me view.

Just a after thought: The local cops that we rented for security said that our concerts went better than the pop classical concerts they were hired for to secure. We all knew why, it's called the presence of the Holy sprit in the believers that were there.

I have gone to see hundreds of rock bands in my years and when I go to A Christian one I'm always amazed of the sense of peace that is present.
