Ah, Those Wacky Christians: An Ongoing Feature (October 28th____#5)

[Minnesota]

Devoted to bringing you news of the wacky (my opinion, of course) to illegal activities done in the name of Christianity.

This is not presented to poke fun at Christians or Christianity, but to show the extent to which some Christians take their belief. That this is not simply my take on these activities is evidenced by the fact that all items come from legitimate news sources. They too have fond them noteworthy.

Jesus Was No Girly Man

Christian men are yearning for a more macho alternative to traditional worship and the message in some churches of a gentle robed Jesus, say organizers of a new style of men's spiritual event called GodMen coming to Nashville this weekend.

At the daylong GodMen event downtown Saturday, men will be able to cuss, smoke cigars, watch videos of football pileups and car crashes, listen to specially composed Christian rock songs such as "Testosterone High" and attend workshops on how to fight pornography addiction.

It's an effort to connect Christian men alienated by traditional church settings or men's groups with their "spiritual masculinity," said Brad Stine, a Christian stand-up comic behind the conference.
