Yes Kids! Now YOU Can Shop At "Extreme Christian Clothing Stores"!!!!!!
<snip>

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- This isn't your typical Christian retail store.

Extreme Christian Clothing stores in Topeka and Lawrence, Kan., sell T-shirts with messages like "Satan Sucks," "My God can kick your god's butt," and "To Hell with the Devil."

Store owner Lori Devins said, "Our shirts are a little extreme, but I think God is spreading the word and having the youngsters shout out their faith."

But Biola University professor Craig Detweiler worries that extreme messages could be offensive to non-Christians. He asks, "Did Jesus build bridges or burn them? Did Jesus ever say they shall know us by our T-shirts?"

4. It's So Cute They Think That's "Extreme"
"Yes, we are wild and crazy dudes... you do not wanna step to us, there is no telling what we might do. We know that we are on the cutting edge, but we are not here to tick anyone off? Oh my goodness, can I say 'tick off'? I'm sorry, I just said it again. Now, some people think that all this cursing with words like 'sucks' and 'butt' and so on will lead on to much larger sins, like dancing. We disagree."

6. I think Biola Bob is taking it a little too seriously there....
"Biola University professor Craig Detweiler" is typical (yes, bertha's making a generalization, pay heed) of fundies I knew. Nothing can be relaxed; nothing can be put into today's slang.

Jeez, man. Lighten up.

7. Once upon a time
a friend of mine bought a used pickup truck from a contractor. The original owner had painted his name on the doors, something like "Bob Christiansen - No Job Too Small."

My friend scratched off the "Bob" and the "iansen," and ended up with a truck that said "Christ - No Job Too Small."

I don't think he ever got keyed, but on the other hand the truck was in sad enough shape that it wouldn't really matter. In any event, he doesn't drive it any more-- it has gone to meet its maker, or maybe its smelter...

8. Hm.. That "news" story is filed under "News Of The Strange."
Oh, and...

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be God Chicks!




If these God Chicks are virgins, I'll eat my tinfoil Stetson!
