Yep and he started the kind of revolution we need today, which is why I very much appreciate the idea behind the shirt.

Funny thing is, he wore that shirt again to youth the night I wrote this. I was all "hey I wrote about that shirt on my blog today" and explained the context of it. Very cool.

I could have sworn I replied to you earlier when I replied to steph. Weird. Anyways, I said something like "I really hate hurtful speech and it bothered me a lot when some adults got so offended by some vulgarity that they insulted the youth and called them freaks. I'd rather hear the youth say cuss words than adults call kids names any day."

I'm hardly offended by that shirt. I actually think that because of it's "shocking" delivery, it actually lends to what the shirt is saying, at least if you want to immediately Christianize it. It's pretty much an encapsulation of what Jesus taught. Quit whining, follow me. And he started a revolution. It wasn't what people expected, but it's exactly what happened.

While I am not a fan of the "b-word" and a lot of other words, I agree with Sarah that there is a difference between someone using the word hatefully, and someone using a particular word because it will grab people's attention. I think not letting it grab your attention the way the young man planned was a smart move.

I tend to call that being Christ like, but then again Paul said "follow me as I follow Christ" so having real people today we can point at makes it easier to see the example so … yeah, good point.

If we all could be a little more Anne Lamott-ish, then the world could see a real God that loves real people and hugs them with real grace.
