Imagine sending your child to school on their first day with this. They're walking around all proud of their faith, thinking that they're going to change their whole school. Then, imagine how deceived they feel when at lunch, they open this box, and find:
Not cool, mom...not cool. This is a decidedly un-blessed lunch. If they were really blessed, they would have opened the box to find Lunchables, not PB&J.
When I was a very young Christian I worked in a grocery store stocking shelves on 3rd shift. One of the guys I worked with was a very funny smart ass. He was messing around one night and quoted Clint to me: "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
I replied that I was a Christian and I did not believe in luck. He proceeded to nickname me "Lucky" and called me by that monicker for about a week.
The guy got under my skin at the time. Looking back, he showed remarkable restraint. I think he was worried that I might have been enough of a fanatic to become unhinged and shoot up the place.
A derogatory term used to describe works created specifically in order to pander to public demand. In this case, Christian demand for cutesy knick-knacks and other pseudo-spiritual items. I feel like the word 'kitschy' could describe a lot of the contemporary Christian church. We're converting the world, one t-shirt at a time.
