Christian Slogans
Slogans are handy sometimes to get a point across. But sometimes they handicap an adequate understanding of an idea by boiling it down of critical details. When I read the results of the Pew survey (Tuesday's postings) I began trying to think of why evangelicals, supposedly Bible-believing Christians, would have an inclusivistic view of salvation. And I think it's because Christians have slipped into a relativistic view of belief, in part, because Christianity has become so focused on relationship rather than creed.
A popular slogan that is the vanguard of this shift is "It's a relationship, not a religion."

I've collected the best Christian T-shirts I found in here:

Personally, I would prefer those apologetic figures such as Dinoglyfs documented by the ancient man few thousands years ago, as displayed in the site above. Unfortunately, they are not sold anywhere... Anyway, anyhow, this might be the Elder Wand you sought:

Do You happen to know a site for such "apolo-wear"?
A recent book "Understanding Intelligent Design" by William Dembski and Sean McDowell, son of Josh McDowell just became available last week.

The book is geared at Christian young people (junior high and high schoolers) as well as for Church groups (e.g., Sunday Schools) to help get out the word about ID, Intelligent Design. A MOST REVEALING INSIGHT FROM ITS FIRST CHAPTER:
"A few years back, skeptic Michael Shermer wrote a book called
How We Believe. For it he commissioned a poll of thousands of
people. He asked participants why other people believe in God. The
most popular answers focused on religious benefits: God comforts
us, provides the basis for living a moral life, gives purpose to our
lives, and is the source of meaningful religious experiences.
Then Shermer asked participants why they personally believe
in God. The number one answer changed drastically. The most
common response was the design and complexity of the world.
Our natural tendency, it would seem, is to believe the world was
designed."
