Mars Hill Protest: About Freaking Time
Posted by DAN SAVAGE at 11:20 AM
A group is planning a protest at Mars Hill Church-a move that might wake up some MHC members, most of whom seem unaware that their “hipster” pastor is somewhere to the right of Topeka’s Fred “God Hates Fags” Phelps. From Seattlest:
A website entitled “People Against Fundamentalism” is setting up a direct action against the Seattle megachurch Mars Hill for December, 3, 11am, outside their Ballard campus to protest the preachings of Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll. There is a certain…passion to the website’s descriptions of Mark and his attitudes towards women…
On Driscoll’s blog this weekend, Seattle’s favorite pastor bitched about the Episcopal Church electing a female bishop-and then went on to compare female bishops to, uh, animals.
In related news, the testosterone levels of male Americans has dropped significantly in the past twenty years. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism reports that “While a man’s testosterone level will fall steadily as he ages, the researchers observed a speedier decline in average testosterone levels than would have been expected with aging alone.”
All of this has led this blogger to speculate that if Christian males do not man up soon, the Episcopalians may vote a fluffy baby bunny rabbit as their next bishop to lead God’s men. When asked for their perspective, some bunny rabbits simply said that they have been discriminated against long enough and that people need to “Get over it.”
Stand up, Christian males! Bitch slap that female bishop! Send her back to the maternity ward where she-and all of her gender-belong!
Nice pastor you got there, Mars Hill members.
