About 10 years ago, in response to large religious ads in my university’s newspaper, a group of rebellious students got together to have a little fun. We considered forming an official club and buying our own ad in the newspaper. For various reasons, that didn't pan out. But we did get some lovely T-shirts. Check out the front and the back (and please ignore the cat hair).

A letter to the editor of my hometown newspaper from the local Republican party reignited my interest in The Society of Heathens. The county is planning to switch from the familiar advanced placement (AP) system to an international baccalaureate system. The Republican party's letter included an unattributed quote by someone they claim is familiar with the IB program in another state. The quote says something about the program promoting socialism, radical environmentalism, and moral relativism and undermining traditional Christian values and national sovereignty.

The letter was a revelation. An SOH motto handed down from god. It was fate! And since my old shirt was wearing out, I sat down with some friends and family and spent many ridiculously fun hours brainstorming various lord(s) and savior(s) to go on a new T-shirt that was for sale at CafePress.com.

I’m sure I’ve left off many worthy and/or funny entities. If you want to brainstorm a revised lord(s) and savior(s) list, feel free to make suggestions. I will, of course, feel free to ignore them. I will create a separate page for a list of suggestions. And if I get a ton of good suggestions, I might change the "official" list, or at least create some products with a revised list.

Please send comments, suggestions, and requests for membership to me via email (melgoldsipe at yahoo dot com). In your message, let me know whether I may share your comments publicly on this site.
