Anti-Christian blue jeans

What kind of message does the designer of the logo on Cheap Monday jeans want it to convey? In a quote taken directly from the news story, logo designer Bjorn Atldax says, "It is an active statement against Christianity. I'm not a Satanist myself, but I have a great dislike for organized religion."

According to the story, the actual maker of the jeans says the logo is mostly a joke, contradicting the man behind the logo. Atldax, however, openly wants his logo to have an impact beyond selling blue jeans; he wants it to "make young people question Christianity", which he apparently refers to as "a force of evil". Not only that, he states the Bible is "probably the most dangerous book ever written" and hopes the anti-Christian logo will anger Christians, as seen in a Beliefnet article.

In fairness toAtldax, it seems he plans to make more anti-religion logos, purportedly to demonstrate that he doesn't simply have a problem with Christianity. He's apparently considering making an anti-Hindu logo, as seen in the Beliefnet article linked above, although, interestingly, he's "not considering any anti-Islamic work now because there are already a lot of anti-Islamic sentiments."

If Atldax, in spite of the fact he believes Christianity is a "force of evil" and the Bible is "probably the most dangerous book ever written", wants to make Christians angry simply because he dislikes organized religion, I'm left to wonder why he would spare the Muslims from enjoying his artistic talents. Islam is, after all, a form of organized religion.

My take on that issue? The fact there's a lot of anti-Islamic sentiment in the world has nothing to do with Atldax's decision. I think he is afraid to make an anti-Islamic logo, in spite of the fact Islam is known to be a peaceful religion, aside from the occasional homicide bombing or other terrorist attack carried out in the name of Allah, an example of which would be September 11th, 2001. If my suspicion is true on any level, Atldax has much more to fear than Islamic extremists when he openly admits he's trying to make young people question Christianity with his satanic blue jeans logo! Far, far more!

Although Atldax's logo targets young people who're mostly in their teens, anyone who presently has (or has ever had) a teenage child in their home knows how impressionable these older "little ones" can be, well into their late teens and early twenties. Christ's warning to those who would cause young people to question their faith in Him, as Atldax boasts of doing, couldn't be more clear than seen in Mark 9:42-44:

And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Today, a friend of mine told me he'd started going to church once again because things are "getting scary" where the world is concerned. What led to his concerns? The very public (and now annual) war being waged on Christmas, which is nothing but a thinly-veiled attack on Christianity and Christ Himself, regardless of what the "politically correct" want the Church to believe here in the end times. The Christ-threatening rhetoric of late has not gone unnoticed by my friend who wisely suspects that something wicked this way comes - a theory I encouraged him to investigate more closely as I am quick to tell anyone willing to give an ear to my advice.

If you're a born-again Christian who pays little attention to what's going on in the world around you, it's time to get your head out of the sand! If you don't believe me when I state the following, I promise you it will become more and more apparent with the passage of time that:
