While the guys in this video debate whether or not Christian rock sucks, they touch on the question, “Is Christianity synonymous with asceticism?” A brief look around this site will reveal the Order’s thoughts on the matter and the debate is right up our merry alley.
At our next gathering, we’ll be talking about taking pleasure in drinking and eating with conscious awareness of the presence of God and the joy He feels when we delight in His good gifts. If you’re planning on attending, check out the video. It features Daniel Radosh, author of the new book Rapture Ready! Adventures in the Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture. Make sure you have some time though, it’s about an hour long (but worth every minute).

I love this quote from the “Does Christian Rock Suck?” video…
“There might be an inspired way for Christianity of the future to learn to come from the crotch.”
Amen!
What?! Man. No fair. I wish I was there for this… all of this. It does make me happy to see you all getting together in this manner. Yeah!
