Details: Evangelist Face or O-Face?
Posted on May 17th, 2007 by Reformed Pope into the Things Dougie wouldn't do categoryWell this is inappropriate:
Details Magazine offers this quiz to see if you can tell the difference between an Evangelist and a porn star.
Whipping a devout congregation into a frenzy can raise a person’s blood pressure. When the Joel Osteens of the world reach the climax of a sermon, their cheeks are pink and their heads are thrown back in rapture. In fact, in tight shots, their faces resemble those of porn stars committing a cardinal sin. Take a look at these close-ups and see if you can tell who’s giving glory to the Father and who’s bringing it home to Daddy.

I'll spare the Judah Smith jokes for a moment and just ask a simple question:
Are quizes like this the work of the devil persecuting God's church for their righteousness or the result of America's Christian Church making a mockery of God?

Well, I suppose the question you have to ask is WHY are these people making these faces?
Bumping and grinding excites the pleasure centers of the brain, and it’s almost impossible not to smile or have “the face”. It’s like sneezing with your eyes open — you just can’t do it.
For some preachers, I wonder if perhaps they are also exciting certain portions of their brain and they are not capable of “serious” faces during this time.
Or perhaps their religion is so “emotionally driven” that they can’t help it. Emotions are a big deception, I think, for many christians who believe that “feeling good” during prayer/worship is a sign of god’s power/grace/whatever.
In other words, both the porn stars and the preachers appear to exhibit the same emotional testimony of their actions.

Answer, neither.
If you had a picture of Christ praying in the mount of olives with great agony, passion and zeal it would be on this list too. The bottom line is that even if ther were no blatantly hypocritical, phony ministers of Christ the world will still mock Christians because it hates Christ. Some Christians just make it easier.
