Two articles from the NYT caught my eye. The first is on the trend being seen in Great Britain that has folks eating squirrel meat. I find it fascinating because the article seems to suggest that there is some form of exoticism in doing so. Considering I have squirrel meat in the freezer (yes, from ones that I shot), I don’t find it so odd. Hat tip to Homegrown Evolution for pointing this one out.
So while I was on the website of the liberal elite, I found an interesting article about Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. As a mission developer, I find the notion that his church started a little over a decade ago in his living room pretty cool, especially considering there are now like 7,000 in attendance. I also like the fact that tattooed freaks like me aren’t banned. Like Mark, I do object in some ways to Jesus being treated like a proto-hippy.
At the same time, I can’t get with him on some of his other stances. Calvinism sucks (sorry Presby-Reformed readers), and I am not so sure that being faithful means taking a giant dump on women or dehumanizing gay people. Isn’t this the same dude that blamed Ted Haggard’s homosexual affair and meth use on Ted’s wife? Classy.
Want a beer swilling, foul mouthed pastor with a real punk rock attitude? Try this one.
