If you grew up in church, like I did, I have found a website made for you. Or, if you like to mock things, like I do…I have also found a website for you. This website mocks, questions, and just plain make hilarious the ridiculous crap that churches do these days. From playing dumb songs the last night at camp, buying off brand cookies for VBS, putting a coffee house in your church, to adding ridiculous words instead of using regular ones (i.e. worship experience instead of service), this site discusses it all. Please, check it out. www.stuffchristianslike.net

#20. Psalty
Jan 21st by Jon
If you don’t know who Psalty is then you didn’t go to vacation bible school in the 80s. Psalty was like the Michael Jordan of vacation bible school characters. It’s hard to tell in that photo of him trying to maul that poor girl, but he was basically a big, blue Bible that through some freak chemical truck spill on the highway had come alive. OK, I made up that last part. The songs were pretty tame, the design was not that creepy and overall, Psalty was an alright dude. The funniest thing for me though was that one year our VBS leader decided to put on a live Psalty play. She had her teenage son in blue face paint in a costume. He hated God and watching him sing, “have patience, have patience don’t be in such a hurry,” was a thing of beauty.
