Christmas Gift ideas for Tacky Christians

Anglican General's Warning...the following contains gross amounts of satire inappropriate for any audiences. The Archer's views are his own and reflect heinously upon the management. Viewer discretion is advised.

Sometimes it's difficult to decide what to buy this gluttony season for those Christians who have no taste or religious self respect. Fear not...The Archer has some suggestions.

1. For those Christians you know who are wrapped up in the national TV poker craze, Faith based poker chips. Nothing says Christ's love like giving the poor this season a poker chip that reads "Jesus went All In for you." Hey, don't gamble on eternity.

2. Want some Christ centered bling-bling? The Archer has that covered too with the Jesus Christ mood cross. Much like a mood ring, when your body heat shows you aren't acting saintly, Jesus appears on the cross and you can repent, you back-slider you!

3. Christianize your pagan iPod with the iBelieve cross cap. It's an iPod, it's jewelry! You can look like a Christian while you are listening to your illegally pirated mp3s of Christian rock bands instead of making such bands richer due to commercial exploitation of grace.

4. Worried about burning your gluttonous Christmas turkey? Get rid of your unholy egg timer with the holy family Nativity version! For surely The Most Blessed, Holy Mother never burned the dinner rolls!

5. An oldie but a goodie, for those whose Christmas might be the last as part of the Anglican communion, there's the Rowan Bear. Many are already waiting to hear the Rowan bear's views on same-bear relationships.

6. For those Christians afraid that Jesus is a sissy, we recommend the Jesus inspirational sports statues. Because Jesus would sack the quarterback.

7. For the health conscious, bible literalist, the Archer recommends the Bible Bar. "Highly nutritious, all natural whole food bar based on the seven foods which the LORD calls "good" in the Book of Deuteronomy." A great stocking stuffer!

8. And last but not least, don't let the Smiths down the street win the neighborhood tacky Christmas light contest! The Archer assures you extra visitors will come to gawk at your holiday waste-of-electricity fest by putting up a patented Jesus Being Flogged lightshow! Maybe the Spirit will lead Mel Gibson to drive by and he will be inspired to film a prequel: The Nativity of the Christ.

Thoughts on the 'Connecticut 6'

For some weeks, I have had several friends (mostly non-Episcopalians surprisingly) wanting me to voice an opinion on this Connecticut 6 (sounds like a fleabag motel) business. If you are unfamiliar with this fiasco, for lack of a better term, let me describe it as best as I understand it. There is so much spin going on (from both sides I might add) that I have been having trouble discerning fact from fiction. As I understand the situation, the Rt. Rev. Andrew Smith is the Bishop of Connecticut. Well, at least he has a pointy hat, I do not think he is particularly acting like one. Likewise, as I understand, there are Six rectors of churches (at least they have collars, but likewise are not acting like it) that have applied for DEPO oversight (i.e. another Bishop to oversee them.) The best way I know how to describe the hoohah is as follows: The Feloniously Rev. Smith is trying to defrock the Superciliously Reverend Rectors. Darth Smith claims they have abandoned communion and has shadil...

My board gaming journey, pt. I

Image
     Something a bit different today than my normal reflections. I thought I would delve a little bit more into a topic that is not necessarily theological in nature. I am a real person, and not some ethereal doctor in an ivory tower who gets to smoke a pipe and contemplate the infinite mysteries all day. So, today, I thought I would delve into one of my personal hobbies: board gaming.      Now, do not tune me out because you hear "board gaming" and immediately default in your brain to your brother overturning a table with Monopoly money flying everywhere because the game has gone on for hours and overturning the table was the only option left other than murder. Most people, including myself at one time, thought of board games as those boring or frustrating games that seem stuck in 1952. You know the usual suspects: Clue!, Monopoly, Scrabble, Chess, maybe even more saccharine games like Life or Candy Land, i.e. those games that everyone owned at some p...

The History of the Football helmet

Image
NCAA.com put out an interesting editorial about the evolution of the football helmet that can be found here . This is in part due in my estimation to the current buzz (one might go so far as to describe it as hysteria) about concussions in contact sports, particularly football. I have always found this an interesting evolution. Long gone are the days of strapping on your leather helmet: In the 50's and 60's, the helmet evolved into, basically becoming a metal then hard plastic version of the leather helmet with the addition of a rudimentary face mask (which was really just a bar at first): Gradually, the helmet's face mask itself began to evolve: Combines with new space age style lightweight plastics and foams, the helmet mask ultimately became a type of full, goalie style face mask (This little number costs just under $1000 to purchase new): Ironically, being a military history major, the football helmet evolution followed the pattern of design that helmets worn...
