Will I get arrested for wearing this slogan in England?

[Angrboda]

Boru says "try to get along with cancer, don't try to annihilate it"

Divisiveness is the cancer.

Water and oil don't mix. Perpetuate division/polarity or lose one of the two.

You live in the UK Boru? Kicking in of teeth is virtually unheard of in my limited experience...

Used to live in Belfast. It was a typical way to amuse yourself during bank holidays.


It’s entirely possible that you could wear the shirt with no negative consequences, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I think you are over reacting Boru with the suggestion of violence. I don't think it would meet with many people's approval even though a great many of them will be atheist themselves. But to suggest that Editz will get his teeth kicked in is unlikely. Certainly not from the Christians.

This is England we're talking about. Not the the United Theocracies of America. And unlike Ireland / Northern Ireland, most people just don't care one way or another about religion.

Manchester.  London Bridge.  Westminster. It isn't the 'most people just don't care about religion' that are the problem.  It's the crazies who do.

But what is what you are doing is fighting liver cancer by drinking alot of alcohol. You will get a buzz out of it, but you are helping the cancer, not really attacking its core.

So religious belief is divisive and therefore cancer and you want to showcase that by wearing a divisive shirt. To each their own

Er, no. Religion is cancer because of 10001 reasons, divisiveness being just 1 of them. So the proposed shirt might be divisive (although perhaps it will unify and galvanise the atheists/agnostic majority?) - well, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Why stop with the shirt, then?  You could go about wearing a sandwich board reading 'Fuck Muhammed'.  Wear it in front of one of those mosques and let me know how it works out.

The Muslim population is only 4.4% of the total population in the UK, mainly clustered in communities, and an even smaller amount of those go in for those kind of attacks.

Editz is right in thinking that the main thing he has to worry about is the police. They are more likely to see the T-shirt as promoting hate speech.

Saying that, if he was unlucky enough to get attacked by a Muslim religionist it wouldn't be having his teeth kicked in. He would more likely be stabbed repeatedly.

The police would get involved.

Another slogan: RELIGION IS POISON

The trouble with this one is it's more of a factual sounding statement, whereas I DESPISE RELIGION is, like, just my opinion, man. Missing out the word ISLAM/CHRISTIANITY seems safer, both legally and from knife/boot wielding hypothesised fundamentalists...sooooo don't wanna get nicked.
