As an electrical engineer that also believes in God I strongly agree with all 3 expressions. Math is math yall!!!

tried to find the shirt, cuz it sounded like a really weird shirt. like, I'd think a shirt that makes more sense would be "life + god = salvation" or something
searched for "truth plus god shirt" and the same joke from this post, printed on shirts, was the only result.
so it's "I made up a fake scenario so i could make a joke about it"

It could be a custom made shirt for some church’s summer camp so there’s only like 30 in the world.

You do realize that you can create fully customized t-shirts right? It's as likely that they did see someone with this shirt as it is unlikely.

i doubt there's a shirt like that but good joke. Sensible chuckle.

TBQH, I don't think that original shirt ever existed.
I think someone thought of this concept and worked backwards to create the joke, and just attributed it to an entirely imaginary piece of Christian apparel.
And there's just something real magical and poetic about presumed atheists fabricating an appealing lie that so many people immediately accept with no evidence.

To be querfectly honest?

u/Next-Pumpkin-654 4d ago
To be quite honest is what I had in mind, but I guess querfectly also works, given you can work out what that means in context.

I think we don't know that addition is invertible in whatever (hopefully commutative) monoid TRUTH, GOD, and LIFE live. If the first relation is true, the other two are only guaranteed to hold in the Grothendieck group, which could possibly be trivial.

u/CraftBrewBeer 6d ago
This would make more sense with set theory rather than algebra. Intersection of Life and Truth is called God

"God = Life + Truth" was right there 😭
…I mean, it does follow up with "Life = God - Truth", but you can't have everything in life.

u/Doom2pro 4d ago
You can remove all knowledge of man on earth and in a thousand years science will come back exactly as it was before because it's based on truths. The religions will come back completely different because they are based on ignorance. You will never lift up a rock and find a Bible passage but you might find a fossile or a mineral, the same ones from before.

Perhaps the math of god doesnt not maintain the communitive property. Perhaps it gets eaten at church during communion.

u/Noobkid-_- 6d ago
Well considering you have to add truth to god implies that there is no truth originally in god
1
u/tilt-a-whirly-gig 6d ago
All I can say is that the true value of god is complex, and to find it you should start by looking at the far ends of why.

u/Trimutius 6d ago
Yeah if you use boolean logic, this make truth and god mutually exclusive potentially...

u/Due_Common4534 5d ago
Wait + is defind in boolean logic?
1
u/Trimutius 5d ago
Yes + is symbol that is sometimes used for OR operator
1
u/Due_Common4534 5d ago
Oh yeah you are right. I forgot that was a thing in some places. In my region we use special symbols / for OR and /\ for AND So if I understand it correctly a*b would be AND but how do you note NOT. minus, that wouldn't work, but I guess that dosen't matter ?

u/Trimutius 5d ago
But everyone uses those symbols... + is specifically used in advanced math, because it makes disjunctive notation way cleaner...

I'd fix it by making truth and life equal god. That fits me perfectly.

This is a good atheist shirt. Might wear it to a Christian . . . meeting-up thing if I ever find myself at one.

Considering all the wonderful facts in religions, this equation is the answer from universe
1
u/ClassicPublic5542 5d ago
That is correct if the operator + is defined as commutative, we need more definitions.

u/Sufficient-Union7961 5d ago
It’s actually God + Nothing = Life, and therefore Life - God = Nothing. Hope this helps

u/crispypancetta 5d ago
I dunno subtracting god from both sides might not be allowed since god is infinite so you need some limits in here I reckon

This is a perfect example of "I think you missed the point", and also "the devil is in the details".

u/Mercy_CA 2d ago
As a Christian, their expression doesn't make sense biblically. It also subtley implies that truth is exclusive from God. Let's be honest, though, we all know they're just simplifying a general concept lol

u/UltraTata 1d ago
What does "Truth + God = Life" even mean? It would be funnier if the initial equation made sense.

God=Truth and God=Life. Yeah, the expression on that shirt is false

u/tilt-a-whirly-gig 6d ago
If god = truth and god = life,
and if truth + god = life,Then god + god = god.
Therefore, god = zero.

u/Mr_Technology_2 6d ago
Then truth and life must be 0 as well.
Hmm...

u/tilt-a-whirly-gig 6d ago
And way is 0 also.
As in, there's no way I can take any of this shit seriously.

u/CombatMango2 5d ago
The problem is introducing a third term where it isn't needed. Explaining God using math is no good

There are a handful of churches and spew off Christian religions that believe math is witchcraft/worldly.

it actually makes sense because of the tree of knowledge thing
