Weblog Links IV: Stuff Christians Like

Following in the footsteps of the fascinating Stuff White People Like, pastor's kid Jon Acuff began writing about the foibles of the church community in Stuff Christians Like.

Having grown up in the church, Jon has observed many of the strange things that we have always taken for granted. Blending a sarcastic wit with a genuine love of God and His church, Jon writes about such topics as specialized bibles, Ned Flanders, and raising our hands when singing.

Here is a sample, from a post on the heroes of the Bible:

Jonah, Noah and David. These guys are to the Old Testament what Run DMC was to rap. Seriously, 87% of all OT stories involve either Jonah, Noah or David. Granted, that's an estimation, but based off the number of projects my kids bring home from preschool that's not far off. The funny thing is that when we embrace these three guys we tend to overlook some of their issues. For instance, after the ark landed, Noah planted a vineyard and ended up getting so drunk he passed out naked in his tent. Rarely though is that scene drawn on a color by the numbers piece of paper in Sunday School. Which I appreciate, because I don't want to hang that one on my fridge.

If you have been to a Protestant Christian church more than once in your life, you will find yourself nodding in agreement more than once in a while. Take a look, and check each day. Jon updates the list quite regularly!
