We're surprised that this T-Shirt is marketing Jesus as an Orange Soda Drink. We don't even like Orange Soda Drinks. We thought for sure that Jesus is more like a 7-up. He's crisp and clean with no caffeine. Oh well. What do we know about marketing the savior?

Oh how nifty!
Are these created as an evangelistic tool for christians to witness or is it simply supposed to make one say "oh, cool, I want to be a christian now!"

Peculiar that they mimic the logo for Crush...They possibly hit on the truth unwitting, because when He comes back, there will surely be some crushing happening!

Oh great, even more weird Jesus Junk to make Christianity look like a bunch of radical weirdos. The next debate will be what Flavor would Jesus be?

The local Mardel Christian (despite its Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, and TD Jakes selections) bookstore has about 100 of these types of shirts for sale.
Pathetic ripoffs of logos, IMO.

Mrs. Pilgrim:
Good to see you're back. I missed your commentary the past week and was wondering what had happened to you! :o)

Vanessa: I'll wager that someone will immediately say, "Not plain vanilla, that's fer sure!" And then the audience/congregation will laugh and they'll get on with some other dumb "fruit" jokes.
JP: I took a brief hiatus from the 'Net. Little "Wildflower" has been getting very active lately and expects to practice standing up for at least ten minutes every two hours. Pretty demanding for three months old...

Are you making any of this stuff up, or is it all actual product you saw at the Jesus Junk Convention?

Thanks for posting this. Everytime I think we are out of ideas for Jesus junk someone creates something new.

This seems like a third commandment violation to me.

How can you all be offended at this? There are a lot more serious things that are wrong with the church. This is like gagging on a knat while some people are swallowing a camel.
Lighten up...this is not Biblical heresy. Go to some of these secular T-Shirt specialty shops in the malls and you will really be offended.

When we go to a secular t-shirt specialty shop, we expect to find t-shirts that are offensive. I'm not particularly offended by Christian t-shirts (I like some of them, though this one's pretty silly). I can understand what others are saying here, though. The message on the shirt isn't heresy, but the fact that these folks take our Lord, slap His name on a rip-off slogan, and sell it rubs some of us the wrong way.
