our surrealist society
I must be losing something in the translation, but none of my Bibles have the Prince of Peace espousing body slamming, choke holds and clotheslines as proper avenues of evangelism. Not even in the writings of Apostle Paul [who, in my mind was the most aggressive of the early disciples] can provide me a hook to connect this to. Maybe it's kind of like the
Crusaders, if they don't convert, pummel the crap out of them, steal their riches in the Name of God.
Weirder still, this site is not the only "Born Again" stomper site. There's also the
Ultimate Christian Wrestling, itself an adjunct to Harvest Church in Atherns, GA, which describes itself as a "
...Spirit-filled fellowship where everyone is welcome..." Of course, Harvest Church also has a "Motorcycle Ministry", though it's not clear what that's all about either, that approach seems well, more
travel based than aggresso.
Having so pointedly commented on this [in my mind] abberation I must confess to finding fondness for the wrestlers
modest Christian Garb [go check out those cod pieces].
