From the Daily Sceptic... Matthew 24:9 is coming true: you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake...

"Muslim candidates and elected representatives… need make no excuses for their personal faith. To criticise a Muslim, or any other minority, for the illiberal tenets of their faith would be prejudicial. But Christians? They’re fair game."
I got a lot of good mileage out of my "Fully vaccinated by the blood of Jesus" tshirt (bonus because it's crucified Jesus with an American flag in the background). In 2021 I decided I was going to very unmistakably make my beliefs obvious to the world in terms of what I wear and how I present myself. It has been nothing short of remarkable.
The number of positive conversations that this shirt and others like it has sparked has been very affirming. I'm a friendly dude, so whenever I'm out in public I'll have random conversations with people in passing, but an unmistakable sign of belief like that changes many of those from just fairly trivial chit-chat to substantive discussions, plus an array of "love the shirt", "God bless you", and "right on brothers" (the beard and the coyote brown US flag hat I think bring that out more).
I've never really had a bad interaction. Most people are too polite, or scared, to really challenge someone over that, so the worst interaction I've had was mostly related to me not wearing a mask, once that period passed the worst I see are some dirty looks from people wearing masks, but even that is a bit hard to tell because the mask covers their face.
