I just received my new Oberlin College Religion Department T-shirt. Because of a minor puffy paint mishap, I have to add a phrase to the front of the T-shirt. It currently says "Oberlin College Religion", and underneath there's a row of various religious symbols. I need to put something underneath that. My current ideas are as follows:

Oberlin College Religion: It takes all kinds.
Oberlin College Religion: Hedge your bets. [or "Hedge your eternal bets."]
Oberlin College Religion: Glory be to Jeebus [kind of leaning against that one, as no one will understand]
Oberlin College Religion: Keeping your eternal bases covered.
Oberlin College Religion: Get your ya-yas any way you can get them.

I think I'm leaning towards "Hedge your bets."

Just for context, on the back of the T-shirt it says "Eff the ineffable." I plan to cross out the "in" to make it "Eff the effable," and then add a little addendum that says "Because if it can be expressed with words, it's probably not worth expressing at all."

I had another idea. What about Oberlin College Religion: Express the unexpressable. That would fit nicely with what's written on the back. Or would that be using the word "express" too much?

Rock on! "Hedge your bets" it is.
