...They say American congregations need a dose of testosterone. So they've launched an effort to make church more of a guy thing.

the blood of Christ being insufficient (sarcasm)

An Essex County, N.J., congregation recently staged a special football service, with church women playing cheerleaders, the choir and pastor dressed in numbered jerseys and a banner proclaiming, "Christ: He gave his all for the team."

cheerleaders on tv nowadays are akin to soft porn stars

A Lincoln Park, N.J., church has invited men to occasional paintball competitions - in which players shoot gelatin pellets at each other from air guns. The pastor of a church in Midland Park, N.J., is trying to inject a more masculine edge into his sermons.

WWJD ? strap on a full auto CO2 marker?

"The language of the modern church is feminine," the Rev. Scott Nichols said in an interview. "It's unappealing to men."

Mr. Reformed preacher ought then to stop preaching a happy clappy Jesus and he wouldnt need this nonsense
