Thankyouverymuch!
A Hunka Hunka Burning Bush?
Do your average fundamentalists or generic "mutt-evangelicals" have any theology of worship? Do they have any standard more rigorous than good taste and good sense to let them know that an Elvis impersonator is not a good idea for a service of worship?
I maintain that they do not. What they do have is mostly a traditional hand down, and subject to "bit rot".
(One of the callers during the above linked Crosstalk episode said she was a preacher somewhere or other. Hmmm. Some issues with theory here, methinks...)
This post brings to mind what I just witnessed. I was channel surfing and stopped on a "religious" channel. The preacher was leading the congregation in fits of laughter. All of them were howling with laughter, all for no reason, just to be laughing. There were one or two faces you could see looked embarassed to be there but overall they shrieked and screamed and rolled around like idiots.
I don't even know what to say.......it's so sad.
This one seems to fill the bill.
Mind if we hijack this one?
OK gang, ELVIS JOKES, LAWYER JOKES; PREACHER JOKES, IMPERSONATOR JOKES and RETRO JOKES are this week's fair.
Keep it clean.
Ping your friends, but just don't let us see you using any lists.

Sorry Alex
Some obscure church in Milwaukee does something stupid, and Rick Warren gets blamed.
Right.
I checked out the video...
Pentecostal church...
People were having fun...It's ok to have fun in church...
This is tragic. What an insult to religion. Sad state of our country.
Hi, ROE. This thread should be good for a few smiles.

Somebody has a burr up somewhere over Elvis.... Must be nice to be a sanctimonious *****. (Not you, Alex - the author).
