So you've had your say; you've railed against me apparently without actually reading ABOUT my little Driscoll miniseries. That's your prerogative. Yet had you read more, you (hopefully) would have learned that I have indeed heard a good many of Driscoll's sermons, I've seen the videos, I've read his written words, yadda yadda yadda. Including sermons on marriage, sex, and gender. And I completely disagree with everything he says on these topics. It simply isn't practical, given the format of this blog (which actually isn't dedicated to Driscoll-bashing, no matter what you may think) or a Facebook group, to show each quote in its full context; but given the amount of his "teachings" that I've been exposed to, these individual quotes are a pretty accurate cross-section of his opinions and official positions on women, sex roles, femininity and masculinity, etc. Put back IN context, he's saying the same thing, and I simply disagree. Nevertheless, I'm working on creating a directory of sorts to attribute each quote to its source, for those who want to look into it further on their own. I do think it's ironic that you say "cherry pick verses," when I've certainly done nothing of the kind. I'm extremely glad Mark Driscoll's teachings are NOT verses found in scripture. I was raised reading the Bible; I know more about it than you apparently give me credit for. That's just fine. I'm not about to get bent out of shape over a little sarcastic insult from a random stranger. What I have against the "bloody tampon" quote is the fact that he once again took the opportunity to spread his hatred of women.

I've heard most of Mark's sermons, and honestly he also rails against the same bombastically western notion of masculinity that defines large swaths of evangelicalism. So, perhaps you shouldn't cherry pick verses. Of course, you probably will ignore his sermons on marriage and woman and marriage and men where he deals with many of these issues. Finally, all our righteous deeds are like bloody tampons. Perhaps you should review Isaiah and the Hebrew and realize just what a filthy rag is. Oh, again, that would be in context, and I doubt you would like that. Normally when I quote someone, I usually try to make sure the one or two quotes I use is in context.

When the months start to end in the letters "b-e-r", Christmas preparations begin. Malls start to decorate their stores and Christmas songs start to play. No kidding.

I love Rob Bell! If you liked the video you saw, it's worth your while to check out his other ones or some of his books. Velvet Elvis is outstanding..I haven't read his others yet (they're always checked out--ha) but they're on my list! I think this kind of witch-hunting finger-pointing paranoia really is very sad. People are becoming so dogmatic and insistent that they're missing their own point..
