This is yet *MORE* proof that Fundamentalist American Christians are sexual hysterics.


Not that we needed any...

Why does this stuff always look like a parody, maybe an old SNL bit?

I agree

frightening.

also, one is reminded of the old joke:

why don't mormons have sex standing up?

because it might lead to dancing!

(something tells me the taliban would love the, uh, "side hug".)

Reminds me, yesterday at my college there was some religious group handing out free pocket bibles. They must come twice a semester and do this. They are nice people and such but I walked by them 4 times and they kept trying to put one in my hand, uhh no thank you.

The final time I went by I said to the guy "Do you know how many sheets of paper I will have to recycle to negate taking this bible?"

Unless someone will actually READ the Bible, putting them into the hands of unwilling people is of no benefit.

Christian side hugs: The joke's not on fundamentalist Christians

Rap video was a spoof, writer/performer says
Steve Johnson Tribune reporter

November 30, 2009


The joke, it turns out, is on the people who thought the joke was on fundamentalist Christians.

In recent weeks, the "Christian side hug" has become something of an Internet buzz item, propelled to viral status largely by a Christian rap video apparently extolling the virtues of the "side hug," a more chaste way for humans to greet.

"Because you will definitely go to Hell if your genitals get anywhere near other peoples' genitals," the New York Web site Buzzfeed said in putting up the video. Bloggers for alternative newspapers in Washington, D.C., and Denver also posted the video, along with commentary bordering on the derisive.

"I think Christianity just jumped the shark," wrote a commenter about the video when it was put up on The Huffington Post.

But Ryan Pann, the 23-year-old Californian who wrote and was lead performer of the tune, the chorus of which commands, rather catchily, "gimme that Christian side hug," said he wrote the song as self-deprecating humor.

The line, "When I hug people, I leave room for the Holy Spirit," may have been the giveaway.

The side hug is a real practice, with people putting arms around each other's shoulders or waists, as if posing for a photo. But clearly, even some in the Christian community greet the concept with, well, a side hug.

"We think it's hilarious because some people think (the video) is serious," said Pann, reached at The Father's House, a Vacaville, Calif., church that sponsors the Encounter Generation Conference, an annual Christian youth gathering at which the video was shot.

"It's not a mockery of the faith," Pann emphasized. "It's a mockery of the act of the Christian side hug."

You sir, are an optimist. I know of Muslim clerics who brag of the fact that they have never actually touched a woman who is not their wife. I personally know Muslims who will not touch a member of the opposite sex.

you are correct. i was focusing more on the operating philosophy than the actual implementation.

I would also recommend reading Jesus, Interrupted by Bart Ehrman for a critical "review" of the bible. Ehrman actually started life as a fundamentalist christian, an interesting guy. Although he is now an atheist, his book simply points out factual inaccuracies and conflicting statements without really pushing his agenda. It also includes some interesting discussions of who the apparent authors on the new testament were (and were not), and what was and was not selected for inclusion by the various councils. It's worth reading if you care about such things.
