"Yo Jesus Spin dat s#!@*"

1.  Well this blog post will be a hard one for me because i am an atheist and i honestly could care less about anything that has to do with religion with the exception of past historical religious events that have impacted western civilization.  I can't give a response to the t-shirts themselves butwould like to comment on who i believe wears these shirts.  I believe that a "gansta" Hispanic would be the type that wears this shirt.  The shirts are meant for the people who are really really cool and need to make another statement.  I believe that these shirts are mocking Christ and the church because putting the face of Jesus on a shirt that says "Jesus is my homeboy" is almost hypocritical.  This falls under hip-hop culture and this culture represents sex, violence, and drug use.  All of which are not very christian.  I believe if i was religious that i would think these t-shirts are okay because i would just want to tell people about my faith.

2.  "And almost since its inception, Christians have seen it as a way to both show and propagate their faith."  This refutes Paul's arguement of shirts aren't the way to profese their religion but to mock the relilgion.

3.  If the shirts only had text i believe it would lose some backing that these religious shirts express and show faith.  Without the pictures i believe that the shirt becomes more sarcastic.

4.  i think the Black shirt is more religious and more meaningful due to the halo around the jesus.  the Halo is a very important symbol in eastern orthdox christianty, it was one of the major arguements between the eastern orthdox christians and roman catholics.  the face of the jesus also seems kind and the position of the hands are inviting and wam.  The other shirt is more casual religious, the jesus is more of a regular person compared to the other jesus which seems to be more of a religious figure.  The jesus on the white shirt is more of that cool guy that you hang out with sort of guy.  Its not a person you worship, it more of your good friend.  The font in the black shirt puts more umph on the Jesus and less on everything else making jesus a more respectable figure.  The style of the text of Jesus is more formal then the the remanding text as well.  The other shirt's text is very casual do to the red and cursive text.  But that just ads to the entire casual effect of the shirt itself which appeals more to the youth who wants only the fashion part of the religious t'shirt trend.
