Stuff Christian Culture Likes

There's nothing quite like being literally locked into the youth group building all night with Mountain Dew, several crushes, good clean games and ministry to keep you up the whole night through.

This is a game where everyone starts horfing marshmallows and whoever can enunciate the words "chubby bunny" with the most marshmallows crammed in their mouth is the winner.

Christian culture likes to dissect prominent Christians' lives and figure out how they do stuff. They study what their daily life looks like, how they balance family and ministry, how many books they've published, and how large their churches that they founded are

Christian women give this to each other at bridal showers and as it is unwrapped they say cheerfully "It's a married woman's best friend!" If you find this unsettling, that feeling is valid.

All-white meat, made by Christians, for Christians. It's the best fast food in the free world*, too bad it's closed on Sundays.

Talking about John Calvin makes many Christians feel sophisticated and avant-garde. Theology students who begin required reading of Calvin fall in love with him and his four (sometimes five) spiritual laws.

Success. In all areas of life. As a pastor, it's all about church size, relevance, and impact. If your church is big, you must be doing something right and you become an expert/celebrity and you speak at conferences and write books and tell people to do it your way.

The Fox network ranks A number-one with most Christians when it comes to getting their news. It is their very favorite.

Christians also enjoy country music, especially "new" country, and they all like Johnny Cash since he was a Christian, however gritty. They don't like rap. Same goes for R&B and hip hop.

This question is as acutely personal as asking "How's sex with your wife?" and yet many Christians feel entitled to casually ask it of each other.
