Christian Chaff

Those Zany Christians

by Clay Staggs

I can’t decide what’s at work here. Is it that American Christendom has lost its collective mind, or, instead is it that the media diligently seeks out wackos and magnifies them? Maybe both. Either way, members of the Praise Chapel Christian Fellowship in Missouri decided that Christ had been taken out of Christmas and they were going to do something about it. What you ask? Why, what anyone would do - they decided to go about their normal ordinary lives dressed as Jesus. Video here:

I hardly know where to start. And, honestly, I’m so tired of this stuff that maybe I’ll just leave the obvious critiques to the commenters.

I’ll leave you with this from the pastor of the church:

“I know it’s a crazy idea,” said pastor Kelly Lohrke, whose 600 members attend services in Kansas City, Kan., and nearby Lee’s Summit, Mo. “I know it’s a radical idea. Christians can have fun with their faith and sharing their faith.”

Exit question: Assume for a moment that you don’t believe in election. Would having a bunch of people walking around wearing crowns of thorns make unbeliveres more or less likely to want to become Christians?
