This has to be the best Christian t-shirt ever:
In case you can’t read it, it says:
God said it.
I interpreted it as best I could in light of all the filters imposed by my upbringing and culture, which I try to control for but you can never do a perfect job.
That doesn’t exactly settle it but it does give me enough of a platform to base my values and decisions on.
It’s a t-shirt that actually expresses some hermeneutical humility (a simple acknowledgment that I might not know everything, and that I might be reading more into the text than I realize).
I found it here, and it looks like you can get one for yourself!

Though it does share the basic problem of all “Christian” t-shirts: it’s a statement apparently for public consumption that really only speaks to insiders.
Ha! So true, Maria.
