Don't fear the Hasselhoff.

Hasselhoff is not to be feared. Hasselhoff uses his powers only for good. Hasselhoff's gentle masculinity is demonstrated by his renowned rapport with mother nature's four legged friends. Hasselhoff loves puppies.

Hasselhoff!

Blog change:

Due to the recent controversy concerning all things Funky and Presbyterian, Funky presbyterian had been changed to a more harmonious purpose. The name of the blog changed as well, to Jesus Loves Kittens. This new blog was devoted to the non-denominatinal celebration of kittens, somthing I thought we all could agree upon.

Unfortunately I was less than thoughtful in my new choice. With characteristically insensitive ham-handedness, I overlooked the small, yet significant portion of our readership which is offended by kittens. In addition, I am aware that there are also those (though less vocal than the anti-feline contingent) who may be offended by mention of Jesus. So as not to continue offense, Jesus Loves Kittens is undergoing another change.

Jesus is being removed from the title of the blog and in his place our readers will find David Hasselhoff, the much less controversial and more clean shaven of the two. In addition, kittens will no longer be the focus of the blog, but rather puppies. As it has been pointed out, one reader of this blog hates puppies. Therefore, the focus of the blog will not be to celebrate puppies, but rather the celebration of David Hasselhoff's love for puppies. While not all of us may not love puppies, certainly we can celebrate the fact that David Hasselhoff has found great joy in their company and companionship.

I thank you for your patience and continued readership.

Hasselhoff!

Happy Birthday, Rae!


Rae is not a kitten.

Rae! You didn't tell me it was your birthday this month. You'd have had a cake or a mix cd or something! I'll get you a belated mix cd.

A mix cd performed entirely by kittens.

No Creed But Kittens.

Until further notice this blog will address topics neither funky nor presbyterian.

It seems in recent days, the Funky Presbyterian has been alienating people with it's unique blend of humor, music, and theological content. Because the Funky Presbyterian loves everyone and wishes to be a catalyst for peace and harmony in the world, we are hence forth abandoning the coverage of all things funny, funky and Presbyterian.

Instead, my readers will be please to find I have chosen a topic for my blog that should be entirely nonoffensive, nondenominational, and nonhumorous.

This blog is now called "Jesus loves kittens". It is a broadly Christian and non-demoninational celebration of kittens.

Thank you for your continued support.

And it's a good thing, because this ad makes me want to cry.

Listen to this.

This is a much better articulation of what being a Chrisitian ought to look like. Ironically it's a message delivered by a guy with the same theological perspective as the folks who made the add below. It's a little long (unless you're use to sitting through my sermons-sorry). So download it and listen later if you have to. It's good. Barry Henning at New City Fellowship in St Louis, Mo.

Ugh!


what the...?

Pulled this add off of a Reformed theology website I read. Now see... it's this kind of crap that I find completely embarassing as a Reformed thinker. More so, however, I find it embarassing as a Christian.

Are liberals my enemies? Are humanists my competition? Are atheists the bad guys?

To Bahnsen's credit, he was dead by the time this ad was made. If these folks really think this is the way to view life and our calling as Christians, then their theology is not nearly as orthodox as they imagine it to be.

Think about it. Isaiah 53 says Jesus was "crushed for our iniquities". If Jesus made this ad it would say "be crushed for the competition". You know, the whole take up your cross thing? Oh yeah, we forgot about that part of our theology, didn't we?

We're suppose to love our enemies, dumbass.

Where are all these 'loose women' my pastor keeps warning me about?
