Jerry Falwell

Yes, it’s time again for the Annual Fat Head Awards. It’s an award given to those who act like fat heads. So what’s a fat head?

Fat Head (noun) - a large copius melonus; one who is full of them self or has a large ego; an idiot.

Well it’s a hot air inflated, blow hard idiot who coincidentally has a fat head. Arrogant. Prideful. Full of self. Foot in the mouth, but doesn’t taste it. That pretty much sums it up.

My nomination is George Lucas and here’s why:

George Lucas has joined the major newspaper critics in their negative appraisal of Spider-Man 3. In an interview with FoxNews.com’s Roger Friedman, Lucas said, “It’s a silly movie. … There just isn’t much there. Once you take it all apart, there’s not much story, is there?” IMDB

Silly Movie? Not much story? Pleeeeeeze! It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.
I’m certainly glad Mr. Lucas has the experience to talk about story. Did anyone see the last 3 Star Wars movies? They were awful! They made money, but weren’t any good! Bad dialog. Clunky story. Horrendous acting. Pretentiousness as big as Mr. Lucas’ head!

Honorable mentions for simply breathing (or simply, too many reasons to list):

Ted Kennedy: Lefty Fat Head

Jerry Falwell: Righty Fat Head

Any others to nominate?

[Note: I'm not anti-fat, just anti-Fat Head!]

Earlier in the week I comment on what a blowhard Jerry Fallwell is and then todayI take a quiz on what type of Christian I am. And whouldn’t you know I’m a Jerry Falwell.

I think the quiz is simply based on the fact that I do believe that the Bible is the divine inspired word of God. That is it is complete and true 100%. For this Jer and I can agree.

Where do we differ?

Hmmm. Where to begin. Well it’s summed up easily by saying that Jesus is both truth and love. If you just stand on truth and forget the love you miss the whole point. Jerr Bear I believe has forgotten this. He’s on the truth patrol, enjoying proclaiming what God hates. You know, we as Christians often like to debate and battle over what God likes and dislikes. By the way we act, you’d think the Lord needed someone defending Him. I believe that he can hold His own. So instead of fighting about rightness let’s focus on what we as Christians are called to do. See Matthew 22:36-40 if you interested.   

For more on thisgo to my friend Kevin Bussey’s blog. He wrote a great piece on this. 

Oh and back to the quiz.  Because all quizzes of these type are accurate, full proof, and air-tight, you should take it too…

Go here and take the quiz.

Then, post what kind of Christian you are.

Over the weekend, in a talk Jerry Falwell insinuated that Hillary Clinton was the devil (Lucifer). Now, I’m not putting any validity into Faldie – he’s a joke into himself. But he does bring up an interesting question: is Hillary evil? Christian conservatives have long demonized her (and some times for good reason). She’s liberal and morally left… and she’s a Clinton!

But comparing her to the devil, in my opinion, actually underscores the capacity of Satan and falsely establishes our opinion of what evil actually is. As Christians we engage daily in spiritual warfare against an the enemy of the cross and our Lord. There is a formidable enemy. Hillary is not that enemy. As Christian we know that victory is already won, Christ has come, died on the cross and conquered death. So we know that evil doesn’t win. That’s something to put our hope in, but that doesn’t get us off the hook or pull us out of the battle that we find ourselves in.

To see Hillary (an anyone else on this earth) as the ultimate enemy is foolish and wrong. All it means to do is take our eyes off the calling, our Lord, and the one who opposes it. It forces us to focus on the wrong thing. That’s one thing that makes me sick with conservative Christians. The focus on the wrong thing. I’m not saying that abortion and the plethora of other causes that liberals push are good. What I am saying is that you can choose to fight the symptoms or the source. Fighting the symptoms leads to an endless race of putting out fires. It’s kind of like playing whack-a-mole. You squish one and then another pops up.

Now, to fight the source that’s another story. Once we focus on this, then our perspectives change. Then we find our true selves and calling and see that we are set into a battle that’s been raging on for centuries. Then we truly realize that this story isn’t all about us. Sure we’re apart of it, but it’s about our Lord. Once we have this perspective our outlook on life changes.

If we were to spend our time focused on our Lord and what he has for our lives and less on poloticizing our faith our country would be transformed. But, we would rather follow enlist a program or picket a clinic than spend time with Jesus. We would rather do things in on our own power, in our own strength, as opposed leaning on the strength and power of our Father and walking in faith. Do we even know what that is anymore?
