The t-shirt is to be taken in the second degree but it is quite offensive (as said @palasatenea). But no one can check the sexual orientation of Allah.
Its not really that its offensive. Theres a ton of things that are offensive to different people. Its that its intentionally trying to provoke and antagonize.
I find that pointless.
If you're offended by someone referring to your imaginary friend as "gay," then you have bigger problems than whether or not you find something offensive.
I think that time, resources and talent should be put tobetter use.
The question would be, what do we get from such messages?
I personally could not care less if someone wore a t-shirt saying "Jesus is gay" or "Atheists are idiots", but what is the point of provokation? Is that what critical thinking is all about? Woudl we proove anything other than finding out that there are more sensitive and agressive people around than we may think?
I think that atheism as an ideolgogy and a way of living can help people see the world without the blurring lense of religion, but without having to prove some of those who oppose atheism right. I think that reason, logic, and decency can be better tools to persuade people to stop believing in truculent stories told by interested parties centuries ago.
Im sure it is to some people.lol
Id personally never wear it because i see no point. Provoking people over their beliefs is kind of a high school thing.
I'm atheist too but this has to be really offensive for muslims of course.
Mockery is irrelevant no matter what religion it is aimed at.
