I’m standing around at an 80th birthday celebration for a distant relative. I have my jacket zipped up (it’s cold). My mother turns to me and asks, “What t-shirt are you wearing?”
I look at her curiously for a moment.
“Because some people have been telling me how impressed they were to see a young person wearing a t-shirt with a religious message.”
My mother knows me well enough to realise I don’t possess such a t-shirt, and I laugh to myself at the source of the confusion.
One of my favourite computer games is DOOM. 
I couldn’t tell you much about the game’s storyline but essentially you go around killing monsters and people. I played it when I was in high school, infact after a particularly gruelling day it seemed therapeutic to put the cheats on and take my frustrations out on these pixellated characters.
Some months ago I decided to honour a few of my different interests by buying tshirts about them from RedBubble. I bought one tshirt with a Space Invader character on it, another that featured a scifi pulp magazine cover artwork, Mario (of Super Mario Brothers) with his arm up in the air and in the style and colour of those Obama posters. And I also bought a tshirt design inspired by the Doom computer game.
The Doom shirt reads:
IDDQD: The Secret To Eternal Life
This isn’t a religious message – at least not of any religion I am familiar with – it is the cheat code for so-called ‘God Mode’. The secret to eternal life is super powers and invicibility… not saviour via Jesus Christ.
It made me laugh anyway.
Happy Sunday!
