…and I lost. Again. Early yesterday morning a Slog tipper sent me a link to a new Christian organization that’s pretty much anti-everything. The Passion 4 Christ Movement is proudly anti-gay (naturally), anti-fornicators (straight ones too!), anti-players (they tend to fornicate a lot), anti-divas (who do you think players be fornicating with?)—P4CM is even proudly anti-masturbators. And they’re selling the t-shirts to prove it:
Yeah we said it….Nobody talks about it, but most people have done it or are still doing it. It’s seems to be a rite of passage for both girls and guys into the world of sex. Some say masturbation is not a sin, some say that it is. But is it really okay in the eyes of God?
Careful—I think that might be a trick question. I mean, they already made the t-shirts, right? In addition to the “EX-Masturbator” t-shirt—and I just gotta have one—P4CM is selling a whole line of “EX” t-shirts, including “EX-Rebel,” EX-Hustler,” “EX-Hustler,” and my personal favorite “EX-Atheist.” I’m going to order one t-shirt for every day of the week.
Anyway, someone sent me the link yesterday and I thought, cool, but I’ll post that tomorrow because I’m on an airplane and the doors are closing. But by the time I got up today P4CM’s t-shirts were everywhere—Gawker, Towleroad, Dlisted, etc. And now here they are on Slog. There’s no need to point out in comments that you’ve already seen these t-shirts on other blogs. I know. The Internet is a race and you won and I lost. Darn it!
I think I am going to beat off right now and purposely think about that girl in the photo. Hell, maybe I will think of both those two P4CM’s. Yeah, their fucking in my mind right now…. oh man that’s so hot…oh man..oh man. oh man.YEEEEEESSSSS.
If God had meant us to masturbate, he would have given us arms exactly the right length to reach our genitals.
I want an ex-atheist shirt but i don’t want to give them any money!
@41 – That’s fantastic – they’re giving money to Dov Charney, king of the masturbators.
I *love* that there’s one that says “Ex-hypocrite” – is that for when you lapse?
can I have an Ex-acerbator shirt instead?
Jesus said many times throughout the Bible, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” It also says, “Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you will be healed.” The shirts are put out by a church in LA for members who desire to be real about the sins of their past. They are in love with God and are making an effort to show their love by following God’s holy standard. They would like to share the message that God has set them free from the sins that used to keep them from feeling close to God. These sins used to make them feel guilty, dirty and unworthy of having a relationship with God, but that’s all changed. They want people to know that they weren’t perfect, but they are done acting like they are. They had sins they were hiding and lying about, but they aren’t hiding them any more. They are tired of being hypocrites and they are getting real, regardless of the mocking it will draw. After coming out and admitting their sin they now feel free, clean, and unafraid to live wholeheartedly for God. You can mock them, but their message is actually one of courage. Much in the same way it takes courage for a homosexual to come out of the closet. I guess the difference would be that when the homosexual is mocked for their lifestyle it is considered intolarant, homophobic, and prejudice, but when Christian is mocked for the declaration of their lifestyle it is totally acceptable and fun. I am a very committed Christian and I will be very honest, I think the shirts really make Christians look bad as does the amount of hypocracy in the the Christian community. All I can say is that God changed my life. When I came to Jesus Christ He totally made all things new. I am not a slave to the things I used to do. I love the true message of the shirts because they are the first step understanding that we all fall short on our own effort. Thank you Jesus for paying for my sin and setting me free from the power of sin. Lord, pick me up when I fall. Thank you for loving me through it all. “But while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” May you come to know the God that loves you and desires to have a relationship with you.
