The T-Shirt that Never Was … Yet?
The theme of the St. Louis Steubenville Conference in Springfield, MO (talk about being confused as to the location of the event!) was “All Access.” I saw numerous groups with themed t-shirts, many of which were supposed to be humorous or clever.
“All Access,” of course, suggests to me that we make a shirt with Christ as some kind of computer hacker. He could be sitting in the dark in front of a screen entering commands like: # chmod 666 /heaven .1
Think about it:
Christ is the “root of Jesse.”2
He also prefers “Unix for the Kingdom.”
He lived with his parents until he was 30 (probably in his mom’s basement in Nazareth).
He could have a giant jug of water that has become Mt. Dew sitting next to him.
The Bible even says that God “swiftly runs his command” (Psalm 147:15), which probably indicates that he has two cores in one processor.
He could rm -r our sins.3
I’m liking this idea … a lot. Maybe someone (possibly I myself) should design a shirt around this theme.
1 On Unix-based Operating Systems, “chmod 666″ gives all users read/write permission for a file, that is, it gives them “All Access.” The fact that it includes the number of the Beast of Revelation is a coincidence.
2 On Unix-based Operating Systems, “root” is the super-user.
3 Delete recursively.
