I almost went for the play button until I saw the tags, sermon, Christianity, and so forth. Ha ha ha back to the barbecue.

HELL YEAH I MEAN HECK YEAH SORRY.

But...huh? Adam abused Eve? Morris Hill? Shame on...abusive men for being surrounded by good men and not pursuing them? Drink judgment on yourself?

I don't like it when daddy yells.

I was strangely transfixed.

Something about the structure/buildup/delivery reminded me of stand-up comedy. With a little bit of pro-wrestling bombast.

Can't argue with the message.

one minute in and all that xian guilt that I thought I left behind four years ago hit me again.

I'm no churchgoer, but I know a few that attend Mars Hill. And I have to ask, who does the think he's yelling at?

Mars Hill is wall-to-wall young, earnest Seattle techies. These guys don't beat their wives. They're too busy recycling.

I'm sure you know that it doesn't work like that.

This guy seems cool enough. I approve this message. The Jesusy bits seem a bit forced and shoehorned, though. I realize it's his job, but does everything need to be Jesusy?

And I have to ask, who does the think he's yelling at?

I wonder whether there were parishioners there with him or what. Is it possible he's just yelling into the internet?

Ooh, that left eye sure does get squinty!

I like how it all leads up to "GIVE ME YOUR MONAY!!!!" First he tells them how bad they suck, then he passes the plate when the guilt is at a peak. I bet he drives a Lexus.

I'm trying to make a funny. Perhaps you don't think I'm good at it.

Just saying ... this is like going to grandma's house and screaming at her about gangsta rap.

"HOW DARE YOU, GRANDMA! It glorifies violence! ..."
"Dude?"
" ... just a filthy trough of sex and drugs and low culture ..."
"Dude?"
"... an orgy of cultural degradation!"
"DUDE!"
"WHAT?"
"Dude, when you say 'Snoop Dog,' Grandma thinks 'Charlie Brown.'"
"Oh."
"Hose off. Your flame is up way too high."

What self-righteous blowhard bullshit. What the fuck is he even talking about?? It's some vague catch-all for maximizing shame and guilt and $$$ KA CHING!!!

When people scream at me from a stage they better be prepared for a mosh pit and ready to play some ...HARDCORE!!!

OUT OF STEP WITH THE WORLD!!!

Fucker.

You know what is amazing is how fakey these new style preachers sound. They are just trying to be real and are just being so fake.

Sounded a lot like the standard issue "You guys are why I can't get a girlfriend," lament, only using God and the Bible instead of a Xbox live subscription and a coffee table full of Maxim backissues.

Driscoll kicks his own ass.

Three minutes was much more than enough. The dude's voice is too hoarse and high-pitched to make it work anyway. For something like this you need someone like John Wayne or James Earl Jones.

Lotsa Glenn Beck cross-pollination going on, though.

Young Preacher thinks to himself, Hmmm I would like to address some of the abuse and emotional and physical abuse that I see some men inflict on women. Now what would be the best way to teach the compassion and forgiveness and redemption of Jesus. How can I make these misguided men feel some peace and learn to respect their wives and girlfriends and treat them gently and with care?? Hmmmm....oh I know:

I"LL SCREAM AT THEM SO LOUDLY THEY JUMP OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS AND HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND THEIR GIRLFRIENDS WILL SCREAM AND BEGIN CRYING AND THEN I'LL PROCEED TO SHAME THEM TO WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIVES JUST LIKE THEIR IGNORANT FATHERS DID AND MAKE THEM FEEL SO GUILTY AND TERRIBLE AND FUCKING CORNERED SO THAT THEY'LL GIVE ME A TON OF MONAY.......JUST SO I STOP YELLING AT THEM!!!!



Let us pray.
