Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
(Matthew 10:34)

Maybe with a head and shoulders picture of Jesus at the top, with a flaming sword beneath, pointing downwards, the hilt resembling a crucifix and sitting about where Jesus' chest would be, and the flaming blade being a background for the quote.

I scribbled something down, how can I post it?

Scan it, photograph it, then get a photobucket or deviantart account (deviantart is free, I presume photobucket is too) then just use the image tags. Look forward to seeing it

No need to sign up or anything. Easy and fast.

Oh, and if we're going to have a rule#3 shirt, I think we should also have a "rule#3 is fucking shit" one.

Only if it can be reasonably argued that Rule#3 is fucking shit.

I've not seen any evidence to support the assertion.

Lol, anything can be reasonably argued.

How about "Rule № fucking 3 is the shit!"?

(See what I did there?)

Indeed, "fuck(ing)" ought to be on the t-shirt. After all it seems to be mantra around here .. #3 and bad ideas exist to be destroyed.

bad fucking ideas fucking exist to be fucking destroyed

then the logo with the reverted S as question mark ? by Emergence as seen in the thread about logo. Best selling t-shirt .. ever.

I don't see "upload attachment" anywhere. But ImageShack was easy and fast, as you said, so no matter.
As I said, it's just a scribble. And now that I've taken a photo of it with my web cam, it's a blurry scribble. (Also, I notice I've got the wording wrong... if it's even legible. I wrote "Do not think I am come to bring peace", and it ought to be "Think not that I am come to send peace") But regardless, I think (hope) it conveys what I was trying to do better than trying to describe it in words.

Essentially, the rationale is that Christians can deal with any pretty much any purely logical argument basically by simply ignoring it. We might question how this passage could be considered not negative, and Christians might respond that language is ambiguous, and things can be interpreted in different ways, and then if they waffle on about that for long enough, they'll eventually forget the question. What I'm attempting to do is present the question in an emotive way, so it's a bit more difficult to sideline and forget.

cool I think I can get something closer to what you want, I'll throw a mockup together over the next few days, but keep at it yourself too.

There are good ones that also show timescale in a kind of a domed form, can't seem to find them right now but they also show periods of extinction etc.

Did anyone find a tree of life with a timescale on it?

I think I'd best not try this again. My wife found my scribble...

Another couple of ideas:
"If an act is wrong, it is so because it harms people, not because your god says so."
"It seems most likely to me that Jesus, like Muhammad, Joseph Smith, and Wallace Fard Muhammad, was a charismatic preacher with some good ideas, some pretty nasty ideas, and a greatly overinflated sense of self-importance."
And I think a good slogan (perhaps to go on the back of shirts) could be "Let's be honest."

Here's another one I just ran up quickly ...

That might work better if it were a progression Cal, if you go from the most basic to the most recent kind of thing
big bang
to
atoms
to
evolution
kind of thing, just that as it is it might take a few degrees to understand it.

Just as well I only chose Newton's Law of Gravitation to put on there, and not the Einstein Field Equations, isn't it?

Can't we just have a t-shirt with a smilie face

a vid that thunderfoot made not that long ago was titled "the internet: where religions come to die",that has really stuck with me,wonder if we could use that and change it to "rationalssceptisism.org:where religions come to die"

Lol, probly for the best.
Although now you mention it, I think I may need you to give me some really confusing equations, I've just had an idea....
Definitely will try get something together with the stuff you've put up, actually I think it might make a really nice poster, but I think a slight variation could be good too. Snowed under between this college and logos atm, but I'll definitely be back to you by the weekend.
