Oct. 30, 2006 - This wasn’t your Daddy’s religious revival. Last Saturday morning, 200 Christian men gathered in a downtown warehouse in Nashville for a day-long spiritual extravaganza. Inside, strobe lights flashed, and tracks by the Killers thumped from speakers stacked on either side of a stage. Four large video screens showed clips of karate fights, car chases and Jackass-style stunts. Then the music lowered and Christian comedian Brad Stine appeared. With his rat-a-tat delivery and aggressive style, Stine quickly whipped the crowd into a chorus of “Amens!” “A lot of guys out there wouldn’t have the balls to be here,” he shouted. “Are you ready to be a man? Are you ready to kick ass? Are you ready to grab your sword and say, ‘OK family, I’m going to lead you?’ Buckle up. This is GodMen!”

WTF? Both hyperreligosity and the perpetuation of harmful male stereotypes...my god, its an abomination

well I have to hand it to the christians. They are trying to be smart about this.

when I was a kid, religious kids were considered gay. And religion in general is gay. So I can't blame them for going for a more masculine approach.

But nothing can rival the coolness of satanism. Satanic songs are just so much better than christian songs.

harmful male stereotypes? Perhaps we need to discuss this sometime (in another thread). Men are men. And yes I do realize there is the follow the herd mentality and that men copy each other. But even when isolated men generally act like men.

That may be the stupidest thing I've seen you say, Dis.

I'm pretty sure I have said stupider things.

So what are you saying? Men should act like pansies? I don't understand.

[SlowwHand]

You said that yourself.

Let's see your ass go wrestle some lions.

I don't think that the Christians did that by choice.

not my problem. I'm not religious. But if I were, I think I'd enjoy this godmen stuff more than regular church. Though I'd still like to hear some Danzig over this godmen band.

That's not really the case anymore. How long has it been since there's been a good band affiliated with Satan? Seems like the only devil-worshipping bands around today are ****ty Scandanavian metal groups...

Oh noes! God's assbuddies! I quake in my postmodern dainty boots!

true, most of that black metal I can't get into. They might have one song I can tolerate (usually a cover), that's about it.

Preaching "be a man!" and that one has to "kick ass" and "buckle up" to be religious is pure pandering.

This is not religion. This is fundraising.

yeah I do wonder how much money they have to pay for these seminars or whatever they are.
