Christians LOVE advertising their faith on their t-shirts. If you are one such Christian, might as well at least advertise your love of video games as well. Enjoy these scrumptious combinations of Jesus, gaming, and cotton.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Jesus Rolls the Katamari.”\u00a0<\/strong>He sure does. And you’d know that if you had read our stunning expose on\u00a0WVGWJP (What Video Games Would Jesus Play?).<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“My God is My Gamer.”\u00a0<\/strong>This is the perfect shirt design<\/a>\u00a0except for one thing: Jesus obviously rocks the Xbox rather than the Playstation. The artist didn’t know this, of course, which is why he has, in error, placed a tainted DualShock in the undefiled hands of the Almighty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Even God Knows It.”\u00a0<\/strong>This is my favorite<\/a> out of all of them. Oh yeah, baby. The precious Konami code is the sole reason my brother and I played so much freakin’ Contra <\/em>as kids.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“God is In Control.”\u00a0<\/strong>The image of God controlling humanity<\/a> with a Nintendo pad is, to put it mildly, hilarious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Deus Ex Machina – God in the Machine.”\u00a0<\/strong>Ok, so this one isn’t explicitly about video games (but my wife bought it for me, so I’m partial). It is, however, a pretty sweet rendering<\/a> of the phrase “Deus Ex Machina,” which will ring certain bells with the video gaming faithful. Would you consider it blasphemy if I told you I’ve never actually played Warren Spector’s groundbreaking game<\/a>?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Jesus Saves Before the Final Boss.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>If there actually was a video game where one could play Jesus and then vanquish a triple-fire-ball-spewing Prince of Darkness on the last stage, I would be playing it right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Jesus Saves After He Passes Each Level.”<\/a> <\/strong>I’m thinking Jesus routinely beats games in one life. So…. yeah…. this one’s a little blasphemous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
