Sick Again
Jan 02, 2009

Damn, I'm down with the flu again - roused only momentarily from my Nyquil-induced delerium on Thursday night to notice the gunfire that heralds the turn of the new year in Los Angeles.

I predict I'll be in bed for days playing with the DS-Lite, and reading Sookie Stackhouse, Derren Brown, Cornell West and Eldridge Cleaver.

Not blogging. =(

Baptist Writer Hectors Church
Dec 31, 2008

Erin Roach writes for several Baptist publications. She was miffed about a Christmas Eve service that paraded across the stage "...a gingerbread man, a toy soldier, Frosty the Snowman, the Christmas Mouse and a candy cane." Even though they were used as an object lesson that Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus, she was unsatisfied.

As Christians, I know part of our calling is to push back the culture. It's not to open the door and welcome Frosty and his secular Christmas buddies onto the stage for our Christmas Eve service. I don't have much against such characters as long as we see them in their proper secular perspective, but I sure don't want to see them in place of Jesus at church.
Great! I agree. Keep Jesus and your nativity scenes and prayers in the church where they belong, and all the secular characters in public. Otherwise, StFU! It's not a one-way street.

While researching Ms. Roach I found this crass example of what she considers a creative and proper Baptist response to culture - a mass baptism and tailgate party in their church parking lot.
People brought their RVs and set up tents. There were televisions going with people watching football games before the baptism service started. People brought grills and they were making food for themselves and sharing with others. It was pretty fun.
Christ-centered entertainment - gotta love that.

Political Correctness is Killing Off French Waiters
Dec 30, 2008



OMG! There aren't enough [white] people in the world! We're all going to die. It's the fault of the politically correct academics, gays, and feminists. It caused Rome to fall, and now it's happening to us!

The demographic trends alone in Europe are clear signals of a crisis much greater than the financial one.
From The Czech, who has painstakingly researched this dreary docu, writes,
A few experts in the film, and all of the funders, can be traced to hard-right Christian organizations, and unexpectedly, the funding seems to be coming from Mormon-run organizations. Who woulda thunk it? The fact that this was not disclosed during the film, and that instead the makers allowed the mostly non-hard-right-Christian academics to be the "face" of the film, is deeply dishonest.
Get busy, white people.

Bible Class Bombs in Bible Belt High Schools
Dec 29, 2008



Remember a couple of years ago, the brouhaha in Coweta County, Georgia about including Bible classes in high school electives? Well, it passed, but...

Few students have shown interest in taking Bible classes in Georgia two years after Georgia became the first state to allow the classes to be taught as an elective, and none have expressed an interest in the classes in Coweta County.
Kids prefer art, music, and vocational educational classes. Ungrateful brats!

Cy, the One-eyed Kitten
Dec 28, 2008

oh, good god

It's Absurdaday! The Lost World (Creationism) Museum obtained a one-eyed kitten. You won't believe what they're going to do with it.

So what is in store for Cy? Cy went through some surgery to remove a piece of skin so scientists can study why she ended up with one eye. We have her bathing in formalin - a preservative. Later this month her solution will be replaced with alcohol and then she will be ready to go on tour. When not on tour Cy will be on display at the Lost World Museum. As the Museum's spoke's (sic) animal, Cy will help people understand what evolution promotes and suggest Genesis is a better answer to the origins question.
WTF? A spokesanimal?
Do you want to know more about Cy? We are chronicling Cy's life, which will appear in a set of three oversized postcards. The back of each postcard will tell one part of her fascinating story.
Poor kittie.

Blood Freak | Another Teachable Moment for Jesus
Dec 27, 2008



O.M.G! Last night I accidently watched part of Blood Freak on TCM, and had a flashback to being a teenager at the drive-in watching Russ Meyers movies. Blood Freak is like that, with a little Ed Wood thrown in. It has a narrator that stabs at you from time to time with his cigarette while talking about Jesus. He's too lazy to memorize the script so he keeps glancing at it on his desk.

There's even a bizarre scene at a turkey farm, which rivaled Sarah Palin's vignette.

Oh, and the editor, Gil Ward, wrote and directed the music.

A reviewer at Fright.com writes,

Herschell, a young Elvis-wannabe, meets Angel, an equally young Christian woman, along with her out-of-control sister, Ann. Ignoring Angel's endless scripture-quotes and warnings about Ann's wild ways, Herschell allows Ann and her good-for-nothing, pot smoking friends to turn him into a drug addict. After smoking some sort of super-pot, Herschell unknowingly imbibes experimental preservatives and transforms into a psychotic turkey monster. He then flaps around the countryside, killing and drinking the blood of drug-addicted teens until, with the help of Angel, he is saved through his faith in the Lord. And no, I'm not making this up.*

The whole brain-damaged tale is narrated by an elderly professorial type who frequently pops in to lecture us about the nature of faith. In one scene, he lights a cigarette while pontificating on the evils of drug abuse and then breaks into a coughing fit. This appears to be the only bit of intentional humor in the film, suggesting that the proceedings might all be a cinematic put-on.
Oh, thank you, Sweet Baby Jesus!

See the trailer.

400 Church Members Take to the Streets Dressed in Sheets
Dec 26, 2008

jesus in sheets

One Kansas church wanted to put the Christ in Christmas so convinced 400 of its members, including at least one woman and one black, to don the traditional garb of Jesus - white sheets and a thorny crown - and walk the streets in the days leading up to Christmas.

What did Jesus do? Apparantly he drank a lot of coffee, read the newspapers, and did a little shopping. Srsly. A manifesto, of sorts, at the church website reads,

What would people think if we called: Martin Luther King day, MLKday? George Washington's birthday, GWday? Veteran's day, Vday?
You know, I was pondering that just the other day as I was driving down MLK Boulevard. As far as I'm concerned, Christ was his slave name, and Jesus would, by now, have substituted it for an X.

Plus, it's pretty much a rip off of Santacon.

Kansas City? Is this because of - Christmas?

There's supposed to be a video, but I couldn't find it. This one is nice, though.
