T-Shirt Maker Uses 'Brokeback Mountain' To Assail Gays
(Miami, Florida) A Florida company known for its "faith-based" clothing line has begun distributing a T-shirt that uses "Brokeback Mountain" to condemn gays.

The T-shirts depict an angry Moses on Mount Sinai looking down on a group of ancient Israelites and modern gay cowboys who are dancing around an idol of the biblical Golden Calf.

The caption on the T-shirts reads "In his anger, Moses BROKE the two tablets of stone that the Ten Commandments were written on while walking BACK down the MOUNTAIN."

The T-shirts also bear the message "The Original 10 Commandments, BrokeBack on the Mountain".

All I can say is, it's really getting to be hard for me to keep my Christian faith. I keep going back to the teachings of Jesus & then I start to feel sorry for people like this.

1. "The original ten commandments"
which are routinely ignored by "christians" as they go through their holier-than-thou life. Their only concern is impressing their fellow "christians" with the extent of their "christianity."

2. I hope lots of people buy those t-shirts
I've always wanted a glowing red checkmark magically suspended in the air over dangerous psychotic people, but a t-shirt would certainly work for me.

I've got one thing to say to Angry Moses: Don't Fucking Eat Shellfish you Hypocritical bastard!

God Hates Shrimp!

Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 01:39 PM by kevinbgoode
which I've avoided wearing because I didn't want to offend someone's religious belief....

It says...so many Christians...so few lions.

4. Oh, who cares?
They're only doing it because they know, long-term, that they are on the losing end of their little kulturkampf.

6. Ennis and Jack were shephards. They tended sheep.
Jack was in the rodeo, but he was paid to be a shepherd.

That was what I saw when Mr. kt and I went to see the film (which I LOVED, BTW!!!!)

9. LOL
I don't think I'd want to walk around in any religious t-shirt, no matter what the message is. It's very self-promoting and it's fashionably tacky.

:)
