emergent laughs

I’ve heard that one of the ways one can gauge the strength of Christianity is how well Christians are able to poke good fun at themselves.  So it is with great joy that I present to you this gem of a find.

I submit this satirical article here, from Lark News.  It’s hilarious, and awfully indicative of some of what I hear in seminary.  Let’s face it, the Christian sub-culture can be pretty silly sometimes, but it’s pleasing that we can afford to laugh about it in good fun.

Enjoy!











      THE SEMINARIAN WAGER
    
Everyone has faith. Regardless of how our faith developed, we should be willing to critically analyze those beliefs. While analyzing the validity of our faith, we should also be willing to analyze the validity of our doubts and cultural preconditions. If we are willing to do this, we wager that over time, the roots of our faith will strengthen toward truth, and will not be uprooted during challenging times. This site aims to provide worthwhile discussion regarding a critical evaluation of both religious belief and modern doubts.
