The pencil says; “Friends In Christ” and bears the familiar ICHTHUS logo which means “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior”). On closer examination, it also says; “Made In China”. You know, that communist nation where you can get arrested and basically just disappear for having unapproved religious literature?
For some reason it just struck me as funny. Wonder if they had to get a special license to manufacture these pencils in the land of persecution? Were they required to ship them out in sealed boxes? I would imagine most of the God-promo stuff in religious bookstores now is made in China, like everything else.
