Check out the bizarre word below. Do you know what it says? It recently appeared on a bumper sticker in Ohio and the internet can’t get enough of it. We can only assume that the religious sticker is supposed to say “unashamed”, but the cross before the word looks distinctly like a ‘T’, turning what could have been an innocent declaration of faith into a hilarious design flaw that conjures up all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas. It was shared on Twitter by a user called @the_blueprint, and it’s already been shared over 55k times and liked by almost 180k people. Scroll down to see some of the funniest reactions.

    I didn't realise there was so much hate for christianity! I'm christian (sorry about that) and I knew some people hated it, but I never knew this much! Anyway, I posted something that got downvotes and sparked a big debate, so I'm going to say sorry, and I won't bring it up again in a comment. These comment sections aren't really the place for hot debates and insults.

    To everyone saying christians are morons, and the bible is horrible, let me ask you this: would you say that to someone who was a Muslim, or a Buddhist? With everyone trying to equalise all religions, sexualities, and races, you would think christianity would be included, right? So if you want to make everyone feel loved, and equal, why would you exclude christians? If you would say that Muslims are idiotic, and should " change their outlook" someone would beat you up. But it's okay because it's a christian? Why is that?

    Yes, the same should be said to muslims and Jews. Muslims, Jews and Christians all worship the same god anyway. Buddhism wouldn't fall into the category that abrahamic religions are in, especially since they don't have a god and don't promote things like slavery, rape, etc that the Bible, Koran and Torah do.

    Hilarious, but on a serious note, the implication I got out of this is that if the individual is unashamed to be a Christian, what would actually constitute it as shame-worthy to anybody else ... is the opposite ashamed to be a Christian or ashamed to not be a Christian ... if the former, why anybody feel that way and if the latter, well, you can see where the problem lies ...
