Thou Shalt Not Chick-ify
Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle was recently featured in the New York Times Magazine.
He has a bunch of youtube videos out. One video, titled ““macho man” (with headnoddic background music that is sure to please everyone) explores the complex issues of the ever present chick-ification of the Christian faith. From fuscia walls to sea-foam green interior, present day churches drip with femininity (I hear there are even tampons in most bathrooms, sick)! Sweet bros like John the Baptist and Elijah were total “dudes” and should serve as models for how Christian men should be—they would NOT appreciate the chickification and they are likely shaking there heads at us in heaven. The opposite of dudes are total faggy-fags with sweater vests who sing romantic love ballads to Jesus Christ (you know, like, those songs about wanting to make out withJesus). What can we do about the fact that 60% of Christian church-goers are “chicks” and the 40% of men who attend church are still essentially LIKE chicks (and could be homos)? Where are all the real men??? Don’t worry, Driscoll has an answer—he explains they are at home watching football and being innovative—climbing mountains, making money and working on their trucks (so THAT’S why my father never went to church! He was rejecting the feminized church environment, subverting chick-church culture and climbing the mountains in our backyard!)
Driscoll suggests we find these men and bring them to church. Why are young men so important? Why does “the church need dudes?” Because they know what is up--“they are going to get married, make money, make babies…buy real estate, build companies…they are going to make the culture…if you don’t get the young men, you get nothing.” Bring these innovative mountain climbers to church and the war is won. Other youtube videos to explore: biblical oral sex and is homosexuality a sin?
