Great T-shirt!
Can you turn the graphic into a little sidebar graphic link that I can add to my website, linking to yours?
If you decide to start a blogroll, please add palibandaily.com to it.
Thanks, and keep up the good and Godly work!
I love it, but I need a version that spells “Till” correctly.
You can check in KJV that The Lord spells it with two ells.
Both are actually correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_Death_Do_Us_Part
Considering that “’til” is short for “until,” which only has one “l”, one would think the single l would be right, but like cookie was originally spelled cooky, it changed over time.
Hrm. Wikipedia says both are correct.
They list many different media references with roughly a 50-50 split on the spelling. Maybe slightly favoring “till.” But John Waters hosted a TV show called ‘Til Death Do Us Part. That was good enough for me.
I think it’s a valid way to write it. Perhaps the other way is slightly more common, but people use both to this day.
“Till” is not actually short for “until”, “until” is a compound that “till” predates by several hundred years. (see the Oxford English Dictionary)
Damn you grammar Nazis. damn you to hell!
I’m pretty sure that I am 100% right, but since I just found out we have to redo the screen we made for the shirts, we’ll change it to “Till.”
Everyone happy?
stick to your orginal design if they don’t like it or approve of the spelling don’t buy it.
Actually ” ’til” is a contraction of “until” and is the correct form. “Till” in this usage was added because of the commonality of error. “Till” actually refers to turning soil or the funds in a cash register.
I took the “till” as a tongue in cheek reference to a money till. Divorce is big business in CA, anything that threats to disrupt that is likely to be big business as well.
Uh, the apostrophe takes the place of “un” It’s actually (un)til. Unless you’re advocating farming (un)til you’re dead, the t-shirt’s correct.
Actually, all of you are incorrect. The Bible was originally written in Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek (except for the Book of Revelation, which everyone knows was written in ubbi-dubbi), so the words “til”, “till”, and “until” never appeared in the scriptures.
Wow. God can’t spell. Who knew?
In times of doubt and questioning, I alwayz ask myself “What would Jesus think about the matter?”
Actually, the Bible wasn’t written by the Lord, it was written by men, transcribing His Word. And is certainly was not written in English. The KJV is actually one of the least accurate translations — it’s highly poetical. The New Oxford Annotated Bible is the most up-to-date translation from what we have ascertained about the original language and context. Consider switching.
The Bible was written in the original Hebrew and Aramaic by the guys in The Passion of The Christ, and then translated into English by the English King James. It was a transcription of the Word of God. Man had absolutely no effect on the Word of God!
I’ve never heard of the New Oxford version but if it doesn’t clearly and aggressively call for the death of homosexuals, then I’m afraid it’s a false translation.
I seriously think you need to take a class on the Bible as you are greatly uneducated on the social context surrounding the time when it was transcribed. MEN are fallible, our Lord is not . . .BUT our Lord didn’t write the Bible, MEN did. And remember it was written in context and we are only trying to interpret what the context is today. For instance, remember the story of how Lot’s daughters sleep with him because they think it’s the end of the world. That’s a terrible story that makes the people within it sound like incestuous idiots. Notice this line at the end of the story: And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is] the father of the Moabites unto this day (Gen 19:37 KJV.) The Moabites were the enemies of the Jews, who wrote the old testament. You don’t think it’s a coincidence that they stuck that line in there, do you?
Also, the Bible never says anything about wanting gays to die, only that what they do is bad. If you read the surrounding passages, you will find that eating certain underwater creatures (say clams and shrimp, which I’m sure you’ve enjoyed before) is equally frowned upon, yet we don’t go around wishing death upon people that eat these things. And remember, Jesus brought us our most important commandment, “This is my commandment, that you love one another
as I have loved you.” (John 15:12 RSV) Is all of the time you spend hating on gays showing the love that Jesus has shown to you? You are setting a bad example for other Christians, but it’s not too late to turn your life around and love one another.
Caitlin: It’s admirable that you uphold examples of love of Jesus. It’s true that Jesus did not mention homosexuality even once, but it’s our job as Christians to interpret what he probably would have said. It’s clear to us that he probably meant that gays should be stoned to death, but he didn’t have enough time to get that out. So, by treating gays as second-class citizens, spreading propaganda that they want to hurt children, and by trying to marginalize them as much as possible, we Christians are actually being far more humane than Jesus probably wants us to be.
And remember we have a New Covenant with God, so we can safely ignore Old Testament commandments like those against shellfish, while choosing to retain the angry, violent indictments against homosexuality.
did I sense a little sarcasm in your message?
No, sarcasm is sacrilege. A good Christian isn’t prone to sarcasm, something the Jews and other heathens tend to prefer.
You are correct. “Till” is not short for “until.” But “’til” is. Any of those are correct, though “’til” is generally recognized as being unnecessary. Citing the fact that “till” predates “until” is hardly proof that “’til” is incorrect, however. Both Websters and the American Heritage dictionary recognize “’til” as a valid variant of “until.” It may be quaint or strange, but that’s a matter of opinion, not fact.
The apostrophe is used to conjugate or shorten words in modern English language, grammatical correctness be damned. An example is ’cause being used for “because.” it is seen in all forms of literature.
If you are trying to say “Until death do us part,” stick with the one-”l” “’til.” Contemporary usage insists.
Remember, the heathens aren’t as enlightened today as they once were. You wouldn’t want them to miss the message because of a flaw in it’s delivery.
I think all of you claiming that “both are valid” (conveniently ignoring the apostrophe in ’til) or even even using Wikipedia or the Internets as some sort of credible authority are either missing the point or are some sort of secular humanist agents trying to subvert the mission of this website.
The Lord don’t need no thinking contractions. The only reference we can rely on is the Lord’s Word (King James Version) and, as I said before, The Lord spells it as “till”.
Sorry but “The Lord” never spelled anything in English. The KJV Bible on your shelf is a translation by the Church of England of a Greek translation of original Latin and Masoretic Hebrew texts.
Say what? Next thing you’ll claim that The Savior was some sort of Jew!
P.S. The original Bible texts were written in Greek and Hebrew. One of the reasons behind the KJV translation was the fact that the Old Testament in previous English Bibles was translated from Latin Vulgate rather than from Hebrew.
Arguments about apostrophe placements are what make the Internet great.
We changed it to “Till” on the silk screen I’ll update the shirt graphic later.
Excellent! Going against what you know to be right, solely to appease the ignorant, is EXACTLY what made this country what it is.
John, I like the t-shirt, but I also like equality for gays as well. We are all human beings.
Clothing with pictures and messages are a sin.
i would love to see where in the Bible it says shirt with pictures are a sin. i think it’s more of a sin to make up your own b.s. and say its in the Bible
It’s not only a sin to disagree with a Christian, but you will summarily be sent to Hell in the afterlife for doing so. Says so in the Bible.
The problem with the modern Bible is that it’s written in languages that people can read.
Will you please make a tee shirt with two brides next?
Would you please make a tee shirt with two brides?
I’d also love to see a version with two grooms!
I love it, but I need a version that spells “’Til” correctly.
For the next batch of t-shirts, please consider a version with a bit of text in the top left front, e.g, the url, and with the images and main text on back–thanks!
Also, we’re going to need buttons, bumper stickers and lawn signs to spread the word about this important issue.
This website was given a spot on the late night news here in Denver. When we were trying to get civil unions passed here, I was screaming that we should be pushing a referendum of “Marriage is 1 man & 1 woman 1 time”. People thought it was cute & funny. I am deadly serious. I hope you succeed in getting it on the ballot. You will put the relious on th e defensive to have to decide if they want to defend divorce & try to discuss how that protects the sanctity of marriage. I paln on getting the T-SHirts for some of my friends in same sex relationships. Good luck and report on your web site if you are actually collecting signatures. Since the news did the story, I have passed it on to all the GLBT community I have contact with. BTW, I like ‘Til’
gianni
I hope that these t-shirts are American-made without the use of illegal immigrant labor. It would be strongly preferable if they were Christian-made and from Alaska. Even better would be if they were from Wasilla and possibly woven by one of the beautiful Palin children or grandchildren.
What about one made by Palin herself? I’m sure she could take a bit of time off from shooting wolves from the air to make a few…
What, with all the memoirs she’s written and speeches she’s made in China, I don’t think the esteemed Sarah could take the time to make a bunch of t-shirts for mere mortals!
that is the best thing i’ve heard all day..thank you for making me smile
I dont know if its a joke or not, but divorce SHOULD be banned. God hates divorce and there is only ONE reason allowable to divorce. And there is only ONE reason one may REMARRY.
In fact, I think so many married couples believe in NOT DIVORCING that they choose to kill their spouse. Murder is forgivable, yes? So, if your spouse DIES, you have God’s blessing to re-marry and not be committing adultery.
if my christian upbringing is correct…isn’t murder one of the ten commandments? A sin, aka goin’ to hell. Don’t remember much of Sunday school but wouldn’t one sooner be sent to hell for murdering their spouse in order to re-marry instead of getting a divorce? mhhmm.
oh, and if you claim murder is forgivable, which technically it is if you accept jesus christ as your lord and savior, i’m pretty sure divorce is too.
But then you have to marry his brother, so you can have sons (which belong to the dead husband’s line, not the brother’s). That’s what the sin of Onan is about, not producing a son for his dead brother. Who cares about masturbation?
ummm, where ARE the tshirts manufactured? thanks.
Doesn’t the bible forbid christian marriage in the first place?
So you anger God by getting married, and then just when he’s fine with this, you say fuck it, and God gets mad all over again. Let’s put an end to this re-angering of God.
Will it be possible that you do a version with two men or two women. Marriage is NOT only heterosexual. We have to defend all kind of marriage.
Thanks
F.
I think that sort of kills the ‘mocking’ part of the point. The joke is if some heterosexuals don’t want any other sort of marriage defined in the name of SAVING marriage, then heterosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to get divorced.
There is no mocking here! Marriage is a serious business and not only is it between a man and a woman, but it is held together by bands of STEEL, not gold.
I would totally buy this shirt if the money weren’t going to such a bullshit cause.
Genius! Pure genius!
Great T-Shirt … shame about the bigoted cause. I am so glad that my mother divorced by cheating, lying, abusive father; it is probably how we both lived to see today.
And I agree with everyone else on here who wants men/men or women/women versions, love is love at the end of the day, no matter who is involved.
There is some real evil out there, lets focus on the big issues affecting us all today, not the emotion between two people.
While I believe that all people should have the chance at love like my husband and I found, I absolutely love this shirt! When I told him about it, even he thought about getting one!
Maybe the possiblity of a long sleeved version for those ofus who live where it gets a bit chilly? Or even a hooded sweatshirt if it is within a proper budget for your cause???
more publicity

wut? are you trying to be ironic? or are you serious?
Defense of marriage includes chaining people together? huh? and you are suggesting murder as a way out? I don’t get it.
what is wrong with you people? Why not support loving unions between people who love each other – keep your christian nose out of my life and the lives of my children/grandchildren/students/state/nation.
It’s a joke, Lady.
Thanks Hannah, my irony detector seems to be on the Fritz today. ../blush
thats kinda the beauty of this concept. in order to make the “conservative” approach to what keeps marriage “sanctified” you have to remind them that divorce has a much stronger affect on “the sanctity of marriage” than homosexual marriage. while the idea is a “joke” its really more of a come-back to prop eight. as a woman who is married to a man i’d vote for this as well because i do believe that marriage is based on love..not religion..and ultimately if this helps to level out the equality field i think its fabulous
Could you make one that says “Protect Marriage – Ban Divorce” or similar? This one is great, but a blunter and shorter one would rock, too.
How about a bumper sticker?
On-line petition?
While you are at it, you can change the spelling for “limosine liberals” to “limousine liberals” in the side bar.
Keep on having fun!
how about a magnetic bumper sticker?
I think everyone is forgetting the point of why they want to ban divorce. It would make people think about what they might be doing before they do it. Maybe more people wouldnt get married on a whim because its so permenant. These days theres always oh well ill get married and theres always a way out. Marriage isnt a game or something you try out. Marriage is for love and you marry them because they are the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. This law would make you stop and be sure about who and what you are marrying into and to get to know the person a lot more. I think its a great law and keep it up i totally support the cause.
Genius Idea. Good luck with it all. Go get those hypocrites! Mr D (in the UK).
Hey, GREAT work btw. If you ever need the services of a photographer I would be glad to donate my time. (only thing is I live in Texas..)
Also i just to echo what was said above, could you make a Protect Marriage – Ban Divorce shirt with the same graphic? The other shirt is great but requires too much explanation IMO.
Hi!
Do you send to sweden?
It’s amazing how people can differ on the simplest things. There is something I read once about taking a splinter out of a friends eye while having a telephone pole sticking out of yours. (paraphrased) I’ve had the telephone pole in my eye all too often over the years, normally while putting my foot in my mouth at the same time. I’ve been married for 20-years October 1st. What I have found is feelings come & go, you won’t always feel love, or feel like being married, as a matter of fact there will be moments you want to quit, get out, bail, walk away. At those times it’s your commitment that holds it together, your word, and the level of your integrity. The creater of all things never promised that marriage would be always fun and easy as a matter of fact he said through a guy named Paul in a really old book written a long long time ago that “those who marry will have trouble in the flesh.” It’s our commitment to our promise that carries us through those times, and this is what the T-shirt appears to be reminding us of in a fun and light hearted way. Thanks for the reminder.
Congratulations Doug, provided you are not married to a man (if you are, I hope you enjoy the eternal hellfires that await you).
I look forward to fighting to make frivolous divorce a thing of the past! May Christ fight strong on our side!
I wouldn’t sweat the spelling issue. From what I’ve heard the KJV Bible (the one preferred by the Apostle Paul) was translated by a bunch of drunks.
Thought I’d share a great site to get fun T-shirts that also support marriage – maybe these two sites can cross-migrate? http://www.union28.net/
The most shocking thing about these comments is how many people don’t get the joke.
I was just going to write that.
I love the PSAs!! I hope you REALLY DO air them on TV. Well, at least the one that doesn’t reference domestic violence because I don’t want to trigger abused spouses in the name of being awesome and sarcastic <3 But we should make this state PAY for its idiocy by putting all kinds of ridiculous shit on the ballot and on the airwaves until the voters realize how disgusting they've been.
I’m certainly not going to worry about something frivolous like equal rights for gay people UNTIL we get to the bottom of the apostrophe issue.
Amen!
Wow. I enjoy proper spelling and grammar as much as the next guy, but do you people seriously have nothing better to do than pontificate back and forth on the correct spelling of til/till??
I love it, but I need a version that says “until” rather than “til” or “till”.
“Until” is more formal and grammatically correct. I don’t care if the christian vow says “til” or whatever. “Until” solves the problem without all this hubbub.
“I think everyone is forgetting the point of why they want to ban divorce. It would make people think about what they might be doing before they do it.”
If people don’t think about what they are doing, no law will change that. Unfortunately, it seems to be the way these days.
Want to really improve society’s efficiency? Eliminate mariage!
I feel we must fight to have two “l’s” in “Till”! They symbolize each partner in the unending union one commits to when speaking the vows of marriage.
Limiting this shirt to 1 “l” would be as morally inept as say… gay marriage divorces…
I love you, man.
I think the problem with 2 l’s is that they are the same letter – so it is uniting similar consonants – like uniting a man with a man or a woman with a woman – the one l reminds us the two shal be one – that one shal be the man. (l is a phallic shaped letter)
Are you guys bloody kidding or just leaking brain fluid?! THIS IS SATIRE!!!!!! Hello!!! And I am sure you think Stephen Colbert is a conservative. Get your heads out of your asses!
absolutely Brilliant
Hilarious – and not just the shirt, the comments here too.
Where’s the women’s shirt?!
I like ’til, btw
They are on cafepress! A little more expensive but worth every penny to get that snug breasted throw some water on meme wet tee shirt look!
http://www.cafepress.com/sk/RescueMarriage/s_rescuemarriage_100001
The gays are coming to your houses in the night for your marriages. AND WE’RE GOING TO EAT THEM!
Wow, I was going to buy a shirt, but if it’s spelled ‘Till’ you can kiss my hard-earned money good-bye! I’m pretty sure that using ‘Till’ is both French and gay! I won’t have it on my traditional marriage loving body…all of you ’till’ supporters should be ashamed of yourselves!!!
I think these shirts are wicked and I would like one. Don’t bother changing the spelling it is correct. If people don’t like it they don’t have to buy it.
What if “love” is dead?
What if you notice your partner stinks and he never did before (are these pheromones “speaking”? And I’m not talking about no showered…more primal than that)?
What if there is neglect, or worse…Abuse?
I love the site, but why is the woman on the T-shirt wearing two envelopes and a nun’s habit? I vote ’til.
wow this is completely genious. you would think that the uber conservatives would have pushed for this ban long long ago
i think that straight divorce would effect straight “christian” people..since there is always someone in the church getting divorced. gays on the other hand should be relatively inconsiquential to the WASP community..considering that i doubt they “associate” with many gays..its quiet the eye opener
