Mark Driscoll is a jackass, really.

"I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up."
- Mark Driscoll, author, pastor of Mars Hill Church

Funny... that's just what the Romans said at Golgotha!

Wow. Just... wow. It's amazing how far from the point of Christianity that one is.

(And he's my town's crazy. We're sorry.)

Oh, those Romans!

Seriously.

That's a real strange statement. Jesus was the type of guy who'd be down in Watts doing what he could for the least among us. Mark Driskoll wouldn't even come as far as Inglewood. Who's tough now? Sounds like the hippie savior to me.

Maybe he should convert - I'm sure Mithra or Ares could beat the living shit out of Mark Driskoll.

I know a _real_ Christian or three who could beat up Mark Driscoll, and I'd hold their coats for them while they did it.

...without a big Jesus who has authority and hates sin as revealed in the Bible, we will have less and less Christians, and more and more confused, spiritually self-righteous blogger critics of Christianity.

Uh, whut? I already despise Christianity for lies, grasping attempts to warp the government of my country, carefully-retconned collaboration with the most vile country this world has ever witnessed, for murderous action taken against my family and prejudice directed against my friends, and for making the nature of God out to be "sadistic child abuser whom one placates with the right soundbytes rather than through right action."

About the last reason I can think of to heap bile on Christianity is that the big J himself might be portrayed as tolerant or forgiving. I mean, hey, I really like most of the Sermon on the Mount and that whole chunk of Corinthians where Paul is going on about love. Dude. If the whole religion were nothing but that stuff, I might even convert.

Some people like murder, prejudice and capitalism.
