if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people
If you take the sanctity of The Name seriously, you cannot go into a bathroom wearing this shirt. You cannot damage this shirt. You cannot make a mess on this shirt. You cannot ever throw this shirt away, only bury it in a cemetery in a consecrated plot.
That's the weight of sanctity.
Beyond that, if you take the sanctity of The Name seriously, you cannot own this shirt because it was made in exploitative sweatshops by people labouring under slave-like conditions (if not actual slavery). The conditions of its manufacturing violate every commandment about how to treat your workers, how to manage your business, how to be an ethical and just person.
To buy this drop shipped mass produced item is to flaunt every instruction given by the Holy One. And all to show people around you that you don't actually believe in the parts of Scripture which obligate you to be good, humble, merciful, just, and kind. You just like the parts that make you feel superior and thus able to look down at sinners.
This thing is blasphemous, pure and simple.
Any other Jews think this ad is like pretty offensive? Like, that is the holiest name of god. If that particular Hebrew name of god is written in a book, that book has to be buried in a special cemetery. We don't even say it out loud. So maybe don't put it on a t-shirt?
Do you really wanna risk spilling turmeric latte on the name of God? Is it really OK to throw the tetragrammaton into the wash with your dirty undies?
I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
Every doctor's office needs one person on staff whose delight in this world is relentlessly pursuing PA denials with all of the steely determination of a hungry mountain lion. They will have much job satisfaction and patient success rates will skyrocket.
I would do this job. With deep bureaucratic glee.
Fun, someone said the words “prior authorizations” around me and now I’m pissed off at 730am on my day off. I go off on this rant all the time. ALL THE TIME.
