Wouldn't we be slating this if it was a christian dressing their kid with their views?
Don't get me wrong, I like the shirt, and it is obviously correct, but still. . .

Ah, but our "views" aren't views at all, they're established and verifiable facts.

The purpose of indoctrination is to replace an empty mind with a full one. The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

thanks, guys. 
as for the rosebud, when i explained to her how "we are star stuff" last year some time, the first thing out of her mouth was, "how do we know that?" yeah, i think she's doing alright with the free-thinking bit.

Beautiful shirt!
On a related note Rachel Maddow had a segment on Darwin day and the FSM.

Love the shirt, btw.

I have always felt a sense of wonder that we're made out of the same elements that the rest of the universe is made out of... I like the way you just put that feeling on a t-shirt

It was *really* meaningful to my girlie, as well. I was overjoyed that she gets that same sense of wonder. I think it'll be a good cushion against the accusations of believers that Atheistic life is "meaningless" and lacks those feelings of awe that religion lays claim to.
I've always wished that I could see the world from as many points of view as possible. That's why I read as much as I do. It just occured to me that, when I die, if someone scatters my ashes in the wind, I will become a part of so many other living things in this world; my bits and pieces will have many other adventures when I am no longer "me." Reincarnation, Secular Humanist style.
