Stuff Christians Like...

So there's been some internet buzz around the new blog: Stuff White People Like. I've read a few posts, and yes, a few have hit close to home. Though, I'd like to think I'm not really a yuppy. But then I found this blog: Stuff Christians Like. Now they got me. If you have grown up in the Church, then you will probably find that blog pretty funny. It's okay to laugh, I promise, God won't smite you.

Some of my favorite posts are about...

• Off brand cookies at Sunday school
• Dating God
  
• Pretending that secular songs are about God (I almost made a CD of these types of songs once...)
• Hands raised in worship, and often, closing your eyes
  
• Trying to stealthily find out if another church goer drinks beer (or at all)
• One of my all time favorite church topics: abstinence
• Saying I'll pray for you and then never doing it (guilty as charged)
• Calling non-believers "seekers"...and no, not like in Harry Potter
• Using the G-card (I didn't think other people actually used that phrase too, how 'bout that)
• Wishing you had a more exciting testimony
• Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz, etc)
• I'll pray about it = No
• Community of communities (Blackhawk's mission statement is: building a community to reach a community)
• Using the Bible to prove a point to somebody who doesn't believe in the Bible

And that's just to name a few. Too funny. The sad thing is, it's funny in a convicting kind of way... yikes. I should clarify, this is really "stuff white protestant Christians like"...but even if you're not one of those, you can take this opportunity to get a sneak peak into our alternate universe.

(it may be awhile before I get another serious post up...)
