Xianity is more self-deprecating humor from someone who clearly understands our culture from the inside-out. For the record, most of the times when Xianity is calling someone out I tend to agree with him/her (i.e. prosperity theology, commercialization, talking out of both sides of one's mouth).

Humor is one thing, but it just seems like an anonymous wrecking ball to me.

Scorcho turned me on.

How did we let that one go?

Faith Made Funny: Ten Questions for the Author of Stuff Christians Like

Kevin RooseAuthor, "The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University"
Posted: April 22, 2010 04:19 PM

If you've spent any time around evangelical Christians -- as I did when I went undercover for a semester at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University -- you'll recognize a time-tested Christian phenomenon: pop culture repackaging. For every pop culture sensation in the secular world, a sanitized, curse-free evangelical version is close on its heels. Like Christian Chirp, which bills itself as "the Christian alternative to Twitter." Or JAMBand, a video game that borrows Rock Band's interface but substitutes Christian songs for secular ones. Or even Sunday School Musical, a direct-to-DVD teen-pop musical released in 2008 by a Christian production company in which "two competing groups of high school students must rally together and enter a song and dance competition in order to save their church from closing."

So when Jonathan Acuff, a pastor's son and advertising copywriter from Atlanta, decided to start a humor blog called Stuff Christians Like -- a clear appropriation of the bestselling Stuff White People Like blog/book franchise -- it could have been just another just-add-Jesus knockoff.

But Acuff, a committed Christian, was in on the joke, and used the concept as the basis for his first Stuff Christians Like post, titled "Putting a God Spin on Popular Secular Ideas." Two years and more than 500 posts later, Acuff's "tongue in cheek exploration of all the silly things Christians like" had accumulated thousands of devoted readers and scored a book deal with the Christian publishing house Zondervan.

In addition to a very good article on Bear Grylls, Relevant gives Stuff Christian Like quite a bit of run as well ...
