The story of a T-shirt
The vulgarism 'S*** happens' has unfortunately entered the English language. It used to be seen as grossly improper to use such language in public, especially in the presence of ladies and children. Equally, one would never hear obscenities used about sacred matters.

It is a sign of the decline in public decency that a company could now consider distributing a T-shirt not only mentioning the word 's***', but also using it for religion. The firm Rosey Nieper recently published a catalogue advertising a T-shirt listing religions adjacent to the word 's***'. The idea was to describe either a purported historical feature e.g. Judaism: 'Why does s*** keep happening to us?', or ostensible theological tenet as with Islam: 'S*** is the will of Allah', or a supposed attitude as with Protestantism: 'Let s*** fall on everyone else' - reflecting alleged self-righteous hypocrisy as characteristic of Protestants.
