For this week’s Friday Challenge I’d like to invite you to visit the online Church Sign Maker and put together your favorite fundy church sign either from real signs you’ve seen or ones you’ve imagined.
You can either post them in the comments section or e-mail them to stufffundieslike@gmail.com to have them posted here.
Once again, there’s simply too much on this month’s FWOTW to describe it all. Here are some highlights from bible1611.com.
A Primer on Betrothing. If it was good enough for Esau it’s good enough for you.
An End to Tongues when “That Which is Perfect” is come Of course we know that means the Authorized Version of 1611, or any edition, thereof (1613,1644, 1676, 1680, 1701, 1767). Wait…does that mean it was cool if people spoke in tongues in 1610 or earlier?
The ubiquitous modesty article in which is promoted a book by the title of (I’m not making this up) Cross-dressing By The Light Of Your Fire.
And there’s much, much more.
Why do some fundy pastors have people stand for the text out of “respect for the word of God” (often citing Nehemiah in the process) but then let people sit for the rest of the Scripture passages?
If it’s necessary to stand for the text to avoid any disrespect, is it then allowed to disrespect verses that aren’t the text?
Of course, some fundamentalist pastors cleverly avoid this problem altogether by never reading any other Scripture during the sermon.
You can’t be in fundamentalist circles for very long without hearing someone use the phrase “Well, if people like that hate me, then I must be doing something right.” What’s more, they actually say it with a straight face.
Evidently, it never occurs to the fundy who proudly propounds this fallacious phrase that the reason why people hate him may not be that he stand for the truth but rather that he’s simply a crass and unpleasant person to be around and people would hate him no matter what his religious affiliation.
If after cutting someone off in traffic you can convince yourself that the real reason they’re honking and yelling at you is that they dislike your “In Case of Rapture This Car Will Be Unoccupied” bumper sticker…you might be a fundamentalist.
thanks to deedeedub over on the FFF for the idea
If your ideal of missions is planting a church in the Philippines that looks and sounds like it belongs in Pennsylvania…you might be a fundamentalist
