Oh the irony. One of our favorite things is taking popular secular ideas and putting a coat of God flavor on them. Case in point, that Adidas logo that has been creatively titled with "Add Jesus." And yet, here I've done the same exact thing. I took the wildly popular site "stuff white people like" and tweaked it just a little to make it about people that worship God. But "creatively borrowing" ideas from the world is only one of the things we Christians like to do.And that's what this site is going to be, a tongue in cheek exploration of all the silly things Christians like. From Carmen to books about the rapture to crowns of thorns you can buy for $49.99 at the local Christian bookstore. It will be sarcastic, mildly funny and if some of these things hit too close to home, perhaps a little offensive. But I'd rather be honest about my faith and it's quirks than pretend I'm cool. So email me at theacuffs@yahoo.com if you want to contribute your own "stuff that Christians like."

I dig it. I do think it's silly that we take things that are the world's and put our own name on them. A) It's unoriginal; B) That's called conforming, rather than being different; C) It's just plain lame.
I see so many with the Ichthus fish on the back of the cars. Then you see the Darwin fish with legs on the back of the evolutionists. After that we see those who put the Ichthus fish eating the Darwin fish. Nice!
This is really really funny. This reminded me of a T-shirt I have that says "They will know that we are Christians by our T-Shirts". Maybe I'll send you a shot of it sometime.
I would love to see the shirt that floordevo is talking about! Awesome!
You mean like starting a blog called "Stuff Christians Like" that is a rip-off of a popular secular blog called "Stuff White People Like"?
Just kidding! I love the site!
There's a whole Derek Webb song about knowing us by our t-shirts, and all the other things the world recognizes us for BESIDES love. Really convicting.
Loving this blog.
So, I know it's waaaay too late to be leaving a comment about this, but did the CCM entertainer spells his name "CarmAn" (a - no "e" like the Opera). Sorry...I was slightly obsessed with him in middle school. *hangs head in shame*
