"The Fight Church trailer above offers up some choice quotes such as: "The greatest examples in scripture of Jesus is as a fighter, that is the kind of Jesus that I would want to serve."; "My hope is that through the fight I can create a relationship with the person I am fighting and extend Christ to him."; "I'm gonna go in there and rip this kid's head off."; and the ultimate question: "Can you love your neighbor as yourself and at the same time knee him in the face as hard as you can?""

The "No True Scotsman" comments on that article crack me up.  I like the people that blamed HuffPo for reporting on this for creating a "false perception" of Christianity.  Hillarious.

The first rule of Fight Church is that you don't talk about Fight Church! Everyone knows that.

What.

What.

What.

That pretty much sums it up.  If Jesus was a fighter, than he sucked at it.  Fighters don't get crucified, or at least the winning ones don't. 

I forget where I was (maybe Hot Springs, AR?), but I saw a Cowboys for Christ church sign where they were all wearing 10 gallon hats and holding guns.  ???

Yeah, but that peace and love stuff other people keep harping on is just so sissified!

Jesus speaks: I come not to bring peace but a sword!

Some verse in Matthew. See, he's a fighter. Or killer -- whichever.
