I just can’t stop reading Stuff Christians Like, a takeoff of the Stuff White People Like blog. It’s amazingly dead on, whether it’s talking about serious or silly issues. A few of my favorites: #106: The side hug #100: MC Hammer’s “Pray” #26: Songs that sound Christian but aren’t #5: Bootleg cookies
Hilarious stuff. The blogger is apparently writing a [...]

It’s been about a year since I have seen this, yet it was still good for a chuckle. This was originally published in November of 2005. It’s still quite funny, still kind of true (and wildly false at the same time), and still quite tongue-in-cheek.
From Purgatorio: You Might Be Emerging If…

Steve Case is one of the funniest people I know. He’s written a lot of brilliant, cutting-edge youth ministry books for Youth Specialties.
Apparently he has some kind of pent-up angst and wrote the book most youth and children’s ministers have wanted to write at one time or another – Rejected Sunday School Lessons: Totally [...]

(Note: the video in this post contains crude and distasteful language. You’ve been warned. Although as the pastor in the video would no doubt explain, he’s just repeating what it says in the Bible… you don’t have a problem with the Bible now, do you?!?)
Hey pastors! Have you already preached sermons about all those famous [...]

Tell me this doesn’t sound like fodder for a bad comedy sketch: seven people were injured during a brawl between Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. It wasn’t lofty theological differences that sparked this particular religious conflict, however:
The brawl apparently began when Greek Orthodox priests set up ladders [...]

It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s time for… Twelve Days of Jesus Junk over at Heal Your Church Website. The list is already up to Day 5, but it’s not to late to read all about such cosmic wonders as the ‘Jesus Loves You’ Kazoo and the Life-Like Baby Jesus doll. (The latter item costs [...]

Here’s something a bit more lighthearted—I came across this classic religion joke by Emo Phillips and thought I’d share. The joke actually kicks in about midway through the clip, but it’s worth watching the lead-up:

As they say, it’s funny because it’s true. (Spotted over at Slacktivist.)

Here’s a quick follow-up to Mikey’s weekend post about The Golden Compass, a movie that some Christians claim is atheist propaganda aimed at kids. Well, apparently atheist fans of the book have something to be mad about, too:
One of the key religious themes of Philip Pullman’s award-winning series of children’s novels, His Dark Materials, has [...]

Please, for your own sake, set your cellphone to “vibrate” when visiting this church:

(Note: as the video creators explain, it’s staged and meant to be humorous.) I love how the pastor interrupts his sermon on love to storm over and smash somebody’s irritating cellphone (while children scamper and shriek unnoticed in the background). I assume [...]

I think I’m too old to fully appreciate the LOLcat internet meme. But it would not be right if I let this go by unmentioned: a LOLcat translation of the Bible, in wiki format so that everybody can chip in and help with the translating. (Job 1 is particularly well-done.) I notice that at the [...]
