The mail underwear companies receive ...

Today, one of our underwear retailer friends contacted me with the letter reproduced below. I always hear from our friends in the underwear industry how they get the craziest customer contacts through their customer service emails, chat systems, and toll-free numbers. Now we have proof! And I just have to share.

The letter above is an image of the first page of actual letter (they sent it to me as a PDF and I redacted and saved to a JPG for the privacy of the company and the sender) received by this particular underwear retailer.

To be clear, I have no problem with people turning their life over to Jesus, but please oh please, if you do so, don't condemn your local underwear retailer for selling "evil and immoral underwear that entices me and my brothers and sisters to sin." And please don't call on their repentance for "advertising, distributing, purchasing and selling clothing that entices people to engage in fornication, sexual perversion and homosexuality." It's not the underwear, man! Get ahold of yourself!

Anyway ... enjoy! Click on the image to see it full size, and Page 2 is after the jump.

OH MY GOD!!! (do i get sent to hell for saying that) what a classic letter.

If people want to believe in a god then fair enough but i've always been of the opinion thats their choice just don't try and shove it down other peoples throats (if they want to believe in god im sure they would of heard about god before)

I have to admit that on occasion we get regligious types (or god bothers as we locally call them) walking into our office unannounced and start asking us if we beleive in god..... I always like to wind them up asking which god are they talking about as there are many (and then start reeling off all the various gods from different religions around the world) best part is when they try and argue with me because although not a religious man at all I have always found various religions fascinating to study so have quite a good knowledge on the subject (usually better than the person trying to give me a sermon)

Crikey, where does one begin with this?

1) Why is it that this God they're talking about is all-good, holy, compassionate, and forgiving, and yet totally insistent on damning certain people to hell? Not very consistent, this God of theirs...

2) I'm betting that this particular ex-gay (who doesn't seem to understand that there is CAPS LOCK button that can be deactivated!) will be back looking at websites of male underwear retailers as free porn in a very short period of time...these so-called programs are notoriously unsuccessful in actually doing anything about one's sexual orientation other than burying and repressing it so that it can come out in covert and often unexpected ways...and as this person doesn't seem to have figured that out, alas, I can't say much for their intelligence (which, if the CAPS LOCK issue is any indication, they'll perhaps figure out too late that there's a whole world of lower-case letters out there just waiting to be used and that are just as effective...but it's probably "sinful" to suggest that).

Jeez, people today...?!? Well, you gentlemen, and all of the great men's underwear purveyors out there, keep up the good work! Many of us appreciate you more than you might ever know!

...So I guess if you removed every good, holy, and lord out of that letter you'd get a sentance. I mean, it hurt me to read "the one and only true, holy, almighty living lord God, who is merciful, loving and good...." There are only so many times one person can say the same thing with different wording before my head explodes.

I wish the uber-christians didn't all talk like they were a giant thesaurus for the words good, evil, loving, and sin. That might make me actually want to listen to them one day.

Holy adjectives, Batman!

Sounds like "ex-gay" Michael Glatze. Only something THIS nutty could be written by him, after a meth binge of course.

Thank the lord I am going commando today!

Scott - You might be safer if you glued a leaf of some sort to your business! ;-)

I not only like this letter, I LOVE this letter and the responses were brilliant. You should all give yourselves a hand.
My one, real question is...
Does God wear underwear? If he doesn't, I wouldn't want to do the laundry and if he does wear it, you just know it's wild and kinky and possibly women's.

[Chris]

I'm guessing he's wearing that sacred Mormon underwear now? the ones with the easy access flap in the back.

I think you should publish this dude's address, then we can all send him fabulously sinful pics of ourselves in satanic undies! We need to tempt our lost brother back to the fold ... anyone this whack needs to know we still love him!

[AMIU?RUME?]

Who says that well tailored, well fitting,colorful underwear is sinfull(whatever that is)
I have yet to see in any of the ads that these underwear are marketed only to gays.
If this man has a mercyful god then he should accept that his god is a forgiving one. Does wearing any of the underwear pictured cause a person to fornacate, engage in sinful behavior or turn homo? He needs to get a life and learn how to get his message accross without repeating himself over and over again.
I for one like the photos and I buy from the ones that look good on the models, if not exactly on me

[Mike]

I am straight and a devout Christian. I love the Lord Jesus and I wear this type of underwear. So do some of my friends, whoa re also straight and Christian. Low-rise briefs in various colors, or sometimes only a jockstrap, and sometimes tighty whities.
According to Bible writer James, a person is enticed to sin "by his own desire", not by underwear. Also, in the gospels Jesus said that "wicked reasonings" come "out of the heart" not out of one's underwear.
It seems that the person who wrote that letter wants to blame others for his lack of self control.

[Angel Gomez]

This letter is a trash. I'm gay and i against to homophobic people. This people who hate gays go to hell, because god loves all the people.
The homophobic and christian people are a bitches. Fuch them.

I'm gay, my family and my friends loves, and god is always with me.

By the way, this underwear is cool, and my boyfriend and i loves this clothing line.
