I was really tired last night when I came across this link to the Ex-shirts from P4CM so I wasn’t sure when I woke up this morning if I was dreaming or not. Unfortunately, I wasn’t dreaming. These Ex-shirts are real and they were made with the intention of allowing Christians (who dare to wear it) that they are not of this world and that they have left their old self behind for something new in Christ.
Seriously.
I can sort of appreciate the idea, but I can’t help but think that this poorly designed concept is more damaging to the Christian image than good — especially when the world already has a misconstrued view of Christianity as an irrelevant, stupid, and unkind religion to those who do not share their beliefs.
Anyway, I guess if you can sell it then nobody is going to stop you from doing so, but I really think this is an example of poor Christian judgment in marketing faith to non-believers. Check out more images below or on P4CM’s Flickr.
AHHHHH! RETARDED!
i wonder how much these people got paid to wear these shirts???
these tshirts make me mad.
i actually liked that video. the dialogue/interview they had was really interesting. i often wonder if such openness and vulnerability would work in a community of people. i always imagine the church being that type of community.
i think the questionable tshirt is the ex-homosexual one. it’d be offensive and close open discussion in today’s world. however, i think the tshirt has more significance for christians. tshirt or not, it would be interesting to see people come out and say they have those desires and have/have not overcome them.
as for the reputation of christians, i don’t think it’s, ultimately, that important because i would argue that people don’t not believe because of the crusades or pat robertson or ted haggard (meaning that isn’t the root issue they have).
really now? i would never ever wear a shirt like that.
Amazing ministry and I just found out about them, my mother and I are about to buy like a thousand of these shirts!! lol My for real Christ Up friends are too!! lol
