<grin> I gave a similar shirt to a friend: Stonehenge with rays of light coming through, "Born-Again Pagan." He'd snapped off a letter to his homeowners assoc. when they told him he needed to remove all Christmas decorations from the house by Jan 12 (IIRC); it read along the lines of "I cannot believe you are such religious bigots; we are druids, and we must garland our abode with greenery until the spring equinox...The deer represent perseverence through the dark days...I am truly sorry to live in such an intolerant world of misunderstanding..." etc, etc. He got an apology letter back. ;} Of course now they have to leave up their evergreen swags until equinox every year... ;D > While wearing this > shirt, I've been approached by Fundamentalists who > want to talk to me about > their religious beliefs.

When they ask if you're saved, try answering cheerfully, "Damned if I'm not!" :) Heretic Lutheran Deist Maru __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
